KOKUYO Composition Notebooks, 3 Pack Campus 9-3/4" x 7-1/2" Comp Book with College Ruled, 80 Sheets, Pink Blue Lavender School Lined Notebook Journal for Work Study Note Taking (WSG-NO-308CG1×3)

I am a student taking lots of math and writing intensive courses. I have not yet found a better feeling paper under this price point. I pair this paper with a smooth pen for maximum satisfaction.Pros:- Smooth paper, great writing experience with pens. Paper feels almost like plastic sheets, not to thick, and the paper is not to stiff.- Exterior is vibrant, and durable enough, a little better than the usual.Cons:- Expensive, its worth it to me, but hard to justify at times.- These composition style notebooks do not fold flat all the way. It is much less noticeable in this product than in a traditional composition notebook, but it is also present.Verdict: Worth it if you want to try it out. If you like it, I would recommend buying the Kokuyo Campus Smart Ring Binder Notebooks (B5 if you like this size) and the paper (Sarasara Smooth Writing) separately, to save some money in the long run. Bonus: this one lays perfectly flat.

I love love love the paper smoothness, this is quality paper in each page. No ghosting even with fountain pen. The pages are crisp, pen to paper is buttery smooth.Well worth it.This is my first intro to Campus and I am definitely impressed. I have heard before to go with Campus but I didn’t want to spend a tiny bit more. This time I did and I am very happy.The quality is excellent of the notebook on this simple level of notebooks.Impressed so much that I will more than likely go on to a more permanent set of Campus products. Not saying these are not permanent! This was my very first sampling.I occasionally write in fountain pen with very permanent inks. I didn’t get any ghosting at all!I ordered a stack for regular writing with ballpoint or Signo’s for my Physics notes. When adding an ink test with fountain pen inks — no ghosts in existence. This may vary on your variables of ink and pen type but I was more than impressed with the smooth writing experience on all pen types. Recommend for a notebook that you’re going to need access to in your future. The binding appears to be strong. The paper is high quality and for this price I will keep more of them around.

Omg! I love these notebooks soooo much. Great for school, not to mention paper quality is amazing. Feels so much better than writing on regular paper. Bright colors but are vulnerable to wear and tear but that's just cause I'm not too gentle with them. Great price and usually gets you though a whole year. No bleed with most pens.

The pages are nice, smell great, and are thick enough to were pens will not bleed through. I like the fact that the notebook lays flat and the pages do not seem to easily tear. Great value for your money!

I use these as journals and planners because of the flexibility. Love them!

Nothing like good Japanese stationary. Writes like a dream. Worth the extra wait and the extra money. Makes taking notes for school seem almost luxurious

kids love ‘em!

Journaling for me is a way of disconnecting from screens and doing something analog, rather than what I’m writing about per se. So, as I have now filled multiple notebooks, I started looking for something not exactly disposable, but that I wouldn’t need to feel so precious about, yet still offers a good writing experience.Enter the Kokuyo Campus Notebooks. I have some of the (much pricier) Kokuyo auxiliary notebooks which are amazing, but 10x the price. Could these offer a similar writing experience at a more reasonable price point? After filling up one complete notebook, I would say… almost. Here’s what I like:- The paper is bright and smooth and is a pleasure to write on. Probably the smoothest paper I’ve tried so far.- The paper seems to have some sort of coating, so even though the notebook as a whole is light and thin, the paper is generally well behaved with fountain pen ink with no bleed through or noticeable ghosting.- Flexible, lay-flat bindings that make it easy to access the whole page while writing: no running into the margins here.So what prevents these from being perfect? Feathering. With most inks it just made the line look thicker on the page (feathering only really apparent under magnification). However, on some parts of multiple pages the coating seemed to be missing altogether, particularly towards the margins, resulting in visibly significant feathering and blurring. It didn’t happen on every page, nor along the entire margin when it happened, but often enough to prove distracting, and enough to deduct one star.I’ve still got two notebooks to go from this tri-pack, but will take a break to try other notebook options that I’ve purchased. These are still near the top in terms of overall value from what I’ve tried so far, but the hunt continues.
