When I saw a promo picture of the new Sailor Manyo inks online I immediately knew I had to order a few of them but Haha stuck out to me the most. I immediately pre-ordered it from Pen Chalet. The bottles are glass 50ml squares, and frankly I prefer them over the standard squat Sailor bottles. This ink has some crazy shading, from blue to purple to green.
Read MoreA few months ago one of my local pen friends moved to another state-BOO! But before he left he very generously gifted me with samples of his limited edition Montblanc inks.

Read MoreOccasionally I’ll attend a local pen meetup and friends will hand me inks to review.
