Comparison Swabs:
Hana Gakoro and Zare Gakoro aren’t particularly close to any of these other blue blacks.
Kokoro Guma is closest to Taccia Sharaku-kurocha out of these brown inks.
Date Gakoro isn’t similar to any of these other blues-it’s more violet than they are.
Suki Gakoro is more brown than these other green inks.
All five inks had average flows.
Overall, these inks are super interesting-they are one color when wet and dry to a different color. Out of the five I think Zare Garoko is my favorite. All are well behaved with some nice shading and sheen.
