Kokuyo Sooofa Notebook Review

I needed some new notebooks recently, so I picked up an A5 Kokuyo Sooofa Soft Ring Notebook in light pink/peach (I’ve seen it advertised as both names). I purchased my notebook from JetPens, but I also found one a little cheaper on Amazon (aff. link).

This notebook measures 8.3 x 5.9 inches. It contains 80 sheets of Kokuyo Campus paper in a 4mm grid. The pages are microperforated. It has an elastic band closure and a clear pocket on the back cover.

The 4mm grid is a light grey, helpful but not obtrusive. I really love the soft ring binding-it doesn’t dig into my hand as I write.

The paper handled all of my fountain pens really well with some ghosting but no feathering or bleeding.

The paper also handled standard pens/gel pens and highlighters well. The only bleeding was from the Sharpie.

Overall, I really like this notebook. It’s a great size, I love the 4mm grid and the soft ring binding. The paper handles all pens well (except the sharpie) and it’s got a cute colored cover. I would absolutely recommend this notebook.
