KOKUYO B5 Composition Notebooks, 5 Pack Campus Comp Book with Dot 6mm Ruled

These are the best notebooks I've ever bought. The pages are slim and silky, but they feel substantial when writing on them. The paper absorbs many types of ink with no bleed through, even when using highlighters. While the notebooks are only 30 sheets (60 pages), because they don't bleed through, I enjoy using them and can make use of every page. They also have no margins, meaning that I can make use of much more of the page than normal and they have smaller ruling than most composition notebooks making them more cost effective than you might first assume. I'm only halfway through the semester and I'm not halfway through a single one of these notebooks. They lay flat, or you can fold them over if you prefer although that might leave a mark on the cover. I usually avoid bound notebooks because they usually don't fold over well and often don't fit on my desk, but these don't have that problem. However, spiral bound notebooks usually start to unwind and I pull out the spiral within half a semester. Because these are small and flat bound, but they make use of the full page due to no margins, I can fit them on a small desk with my computer out, fold them over, and don't have to deal with a spiral binding. I usually beat up my notebook covers, but these are lasting with only minor curling on the corners. I'm sure that could be rectified by buying a clear plastic cover of the same size. The colors are vibrant and make it easy to see which subject's notebook I'm pulling out of my bag. If you overpack your backpack or are a commuter to campus, I highly recommend buying these. because they are lightweight, slim, and a joy to use. I'll be happy to display these on my bookshelf and pull them out again to reference my notes in the future.

I absolutely love these notebooks! For $10, you get five notebooks in purple, blue, green, golden yellow, and pink, each containing 30 pages (=60 pages front and back). I'd say that the ruling is very similar to college-ruled folder paper. One might say they're expensive, given that you can easily buy a composition book for 50 cents during back-to-school sales, but I just adore how slim these notebooks are, and the quality of the paper is amazing. If you've ever written on a general black composition book in pen, you know how easily ink bleeds through the thin paper. Well, not with these notebooks! There's a little bit of show-through, but no bleeding unless you leave your pen on the paper for too long and end up creating ink blots. You can easily write on both sides of the paper in ink, which is really good since there's only 30 pages compared to a composition book's 100 pages. The paper is also nice and smooth. Except for the very first and last pages, the notebooks open to a relatively flat position, or at least flatter than a composition book can open up. I was initially hesitant to buy these books because of how little pages each notebook has, but I jumped for it when I realized I have trouble finishing a standard composition book. When I started college, I switched from taking notes in composition books to taking notes on loose folder paper. I found it too annoying to bring a separate composition book for each class when I knew that at the end of the semester, each book would end up only 40-50% complete, depending on the class. Lugging 2-3 comp. books each day was also tiring when combined with a laptop and textbooks. With these notebooks, I feel as though I won't have that same problems as before. Each notebook is very lightweight and slim, and it barely takes up any space. I did purchase the Kokuyo notebook cover, which helps tremendously in keeping the corners from folding in my backpack. I know others have had issues with the notebooks being damaged in transport, but I was lucky for that not to be the case. I think it might be because I had others items in my order, which took the impact instead. So maybe I'd recommend buying other items to be shipped with your notebooks? Since using this textbook in class, I've found that, for me, a chapter's worth of notes in my economics class takes up only one page (front and back). Of course, my handwriting is on the smaller side, so I'd factor in your handwriting size when debating whether or not to purchase these notebooks for class. I'm thinking of buying the 6mm notebooks simply because I'd like the extra lines per page, but these are really good if you like writing with college-ruled paper.

Ordered these in the candy-colored 5 pack to use for a Bullet Journal. They fit my needs perfectly, and at $1.80 a piece are at a pricepoint that offers both quality and affordability. Now that I know how much I like them, I'll be purchasing this 10 pack. Pros (for bullet journal use) ~Top of each page has space for page number, date, and title ~Thick, smooth paper is a delight to write and draw on. Most pens will not bleed through. ~Nerd ruled: 6 mm is slightly smaller than college ruled, and the horizontal lines have regularly spaced dots allowing the paper to function as graph paper without the visual clutter. ~Same size as an iPad or Composition notebook. ~Very slender, about 3 mm thick. I find that this notebook slips into the side of my purse and takes up virtually no space. ~Binding allows writing right up to the gutter or even across it. ~30 pages is roughly 2 months of usage for my purposes with this size bullet journal. ~2-3 notebooks fit well into the Koyuko Systemic cover, creating a low-cost Midori style option. ~Notebook can be folded back on itself if you need to write in it without a firm surface. ~Low cost, available in bulk. Cons (for bullet journal use) ~Floppy because of the thin size if not in a Systemic cover. ~Square corners instead of rounded - a tiny nitpick.

The quality, it is nothing but the best. Made in Japan really shows with this product, as the paper printed carefully and has a rich soft texture. Even though each note book is quite small and flat, they are extremely durable, and the binding holds very well. Ink does not bleed through at all. One of the best features is, the dotted lines on the paper. It's amazing for drawing graphs or writing music, and basically writing in general! The design is sleek and colorful, and it is very fun to show off to my friends. There is a local Japanese super market that sells these notebooks, but they are far more expensive than this. Overall, it makes as an amazing gift for those who are in or headed to school.

Bought the 1 X Kokuyo Campus Todai Series Pre-Dotted Notebook pack and I use it daily for note-taking and study sessions at my desk. What I like • Light dot grid helps with neat writing and diagrams • Smooth paper that works well with gel pens and fountain pens • Semi B5 size is roomy but still fits in a backpack What could be better • Only 30 sheets per notebook • No perforated edges for easy tearing Bottom line: Excellent notebooks for students and organized note-takers. Perfect for school or study use, but look at thicker notebooks if you need more pages.

I'm not sure how I lived without these notebooks! I love the dots, which are great for drawing tables and grids by hand if you intersperse them in your writing. I'm using them for language study and I'm old school with my declension and conjugation charts, so this is perfect! The size is perfect. The paper feels thick and substantial and made to last, although the books are really light. Even some fine line markers will show through on the back of the page, but it's not horrible. Test a few brands and colors. The good thing is, even light colors show up very well. Also, I haven't had any problems with ball point pens or pencils smudging. Sticky notes and items glued in with glue sticks seem to stay, too. You might think these are throwaway books, but they're not. They're worth the cost and will be worth keeping.

I LOVE these notebooks. I bought them at the recommendation of a study YouTuber that I watch and I do not regret it. I have small handwriting, so the semi B5 size was not an issue at all. In fact, an issue I had with regular composition books and notebook paper was that there was too much space in between the lines. The Kokuyo Campus notebooks are thin and compact and the paper is very smooth. The design of these notebooks incentivized me to put more effort in my notes to be more structured and pretty. I use 3 of the 5 notebooks for my semester classes, and the other 2 as a personal bullet journal and a finance log. I bought the 2 pack of the 50-page dark ones for my yearlong classes. As someone who appreciates quality stationery, I can say these Kokuyo notebooks have made the cut to be one of my irrevocable staples, right alongside my 0.38 black Muji pen and my black Pentel dude touch sign pen. I will be buying more to use for work, cooking, etc.. (or maybe just to horde a supply to have at arm's reach) Pros: -good for short term notetaking -smooth paper -simple and pretty design -compact lines -dotted pages make formatting lines easier -no bleedthrough -durable pages -can maintain the ink from Tombow and Pentel Sign pens without bleedthrough Cons: -not many pages -has ghosting (I personally don't mind since it makes me feel like my pages have 'character') -not much room for those with large handwriting -cost

Awesome notebooks, good size, and sleek design. The colors are beautiful, and good for organizing. I'm just not sure about the 6 mm ruled dots, whether the space is appropriate for writing text, I would suggest researching about the 7 mm one too. Also, I would like to point out that the first (green coloured) notebook has been damaged during shipping, but it's not a big deal as the damage is negligible! Overall I'm really happy with these notebooks!

libretas perfectas para apuntes, merece la pena totalmente aunque es un poco caro. Las hojas no traspasan el color y son suaves.

Çok iyi.

Avevo preso questo tipo di quaderno su Amazon Giappone in quanto ero curiosa dell’effettiva dimensione e di come si presentava. Sono rimasta piacevolmente stupita sia dalla qualità, la carta per quanto leggera sembra patinata e trapassa pochissimo; sono sottili e maneggevoli quindi li si può mettere in una borsa e portare con sé. La possibilità di aggiungere numero e data li rende ottimi anche come agenda, si può scrivere sulla copertina con una classica bic nome o materia. Il misto linea/punto (una via di mezzo tra linea e quadretto) li rende ulteriormente più versatili. È un prodotto importato quindi ha un prezzo più alto, sui 3€ contro i 2€ circa dei pigna. Io li uso per gli esercizi di giapponese e mi trovo molto bene.

Molto belli e facili da usare!

I am a Kokuyo notebook convert, particularly the Campus exercise books. These with their narrow rules and vibrant colours suit my writing purposes brilliantly - from notes in lectures to creative writing to journalling. There is some ghosting with pens - particularly the Papermate Inkjoy gels - but it's not bleeding through. The paper itself is beautifully smooth and satisfying to write on, with that appearance of the ink still being 'wet', and the tiny guidelines for ruling and drawing lines add a practical quality to this book. These will be a staple of my academic and teaching life for years to come, replacing any other brand.
