KOKUYOSpiral Lined Notebook, 8.3'' x 5.8'' Pastel Journal A5 Soft Ring Notebooks with Dot 6 mm Ruled, 50 Sheets, Dark Gray 1 Subject Notebook, Note Taking for School. Japan Import (SU-SV331BT-DM)

Most paper feels to me like many people describe nails on a chalkboard. This is different. It has a gloss feel, yet it accepts pen and pencil perfectly. And, as is its main selling point, the binder compresses effortlessly under your hand so you can write on the back side of the pages as easy as the front!

Great

I love love these notebooks. The colors of the covers are very vibrant and lovely, putting me in good mood when opening them. The quality of papers are to the highest standards, only not satisfying with fountain pens, which I don’t usually use, so it’s fine with me. Soft rings are the feature I love most! Now I can not only fold the notebook completely, but also not bothered by the rings. Totally in love with them! The lavender one came with some stains and marks - I hope they can be checked more carefully before being shipped.

LOVE this notebook. The squishy little rings are everything

I decided to buy this based on reviews from JetPens. The cover is not very attractive and the backing is just a cheap cardboard like you see on typical school notebooks but I appreciate the strong and smooth writing quality of the sheets. Also the soft rings do help (though not sure why this should add to the price) and the lines/dots combination also works pretty good. However the description for this notebook is wrong as it does NOT have perforated sheets. I think next time I will get the B6 size from the Sooofa line as it is a more convenient compact size and actually has perforated sheets. I would say value for the price is not bad but subpar. If I could, I would give this 3.5 out of 5 stars, so just 3 today.

The paper is very good for fountain pens. The perforation allows clean tear out. But there is no opening the rings for refill. This is essentially a disposable binder. Not any better than a 3-ring design.

This is cheap looking, thin and of poor quality. It is not worth the money.
