Hobonichi Weeks MEGA 2027 Planner Colours: Pink Sapphire (engl.)

The Hobonichi Techo Weeks MEGA 2027 Colors: Pink Sapphire is the generous variant of the classic Weeks – in the same slim, handbag-friendly format, but with roughly three times as many grid-ruled note pages in the back section. The interior is entirely made from Tomoe River paper, which performs remarkably well with fountain pens, gel pens and fine markers. The cover is made from a specialist bookbinding textile – smooth, matt and pleasantly firm in the hand.

Features

• Tomoe River Paper: Gossamer-thin yet tear-resistant paper that takes ink fluidly and richly without bleed-through. With a fountain pen, this paper produces particularly vibrant ink shades – shading and shimmer are clearly visible. Allow for drying time: water-based inks and fountain pen inks need a little longer to dry.
• 219 pages of grid-ruled notepaper (English edition): The MEGA triples the note-taking space compared to the standard Weeks. The 3.55 mm grid is fine enough for small handwriting, yet printed in dashed lines – easier on the eye and mood than solid grid lines.
• Weekly layout with day columns on the left, open grid on the right: Each weekly spread offers structured planning columns for each weekday on the left, with a free grid area on the right – ideal for sketches, lists or quick notes directly alongside the week.
• Monthly overview calendars at the front of the planner make it easy to plan several weeks ahead. The English edition features quotes from the Hobonichi web magazine in English.
• Bookbinding textile cover "Pink Sapphire": The Colors line uses textile bookbinding materials with a velvety-smooth surface. Pink Sapphire delivers a clear, luminous rose tone with crystalline depth – the year 2027 appears as a foil embossing on the cover.
• Stab binding: Thread-and-adhesive binding keeps pages securely together and allows the planner to open wide, even when not completely flat – gently hold in place with your hand while writing.
• Two ribbon bookmarks for frequently used pages – the weekly view and notes section can be permanently marked.
• Clear adhesive corner pocket included: loose notes, sticker sheets or business cards can be safely stored inside.
• Individual serial number on the back inner cover – every planner is a unique piece.

Use & Tips

• Fountain pen: Tomoe River paper responds beautifully to water-based fountain pen ink – ink flow and colour depth are clearly visible. Fast-drying inks or pigmented inks are more convenient for daily use; with highly fluid inks, blotting paper is recommended.
• Gel pens and fine-tip markers with fine to medium nibs work reliably on thin Tomoe River paper. Quick-drying gel pen refills reduce smudging.
• Combine weekly planning with journalling: The open grid area on the right side of the weekly spread is perfect for mood tracking, habit trackers or sketches – without having to flip to the note section at the back.
• Note section as bullet journal alternative: The 219 note pages in the back (English edition) are sufficient for a full year of intensive use – collections, index pages, projects, travel sketches.
• Stickers and washi tape: Tomoe River paper accepts light stickers well. Use heavy or strongly adhesive tapes carefully to avoid damaging the thin pages.
• Combine with a Weeks cover: The interior can be inserted into compatible Hobonichi Weeks outer covers to add additional pockets, card slots or a different look.
• Week starts on Monday, year begins in January – perfectly suited for European planning habits.

For Paper Enthusiasts

Tomoe River paper is originally a Japanese thin-print paper, renowned for its exceptional performance with fountain pen ink: despite a grammage of around 52 g/m², it shows virtually no show-through and almost no bleed-through. The 3.55 mm grid of the Weeks MEGA is printed in dashed lines whose crossing points form precise, uniform crosses – a level of detail that goes largely unnoticed in everyday use, yet makes a noticeable difference to the legibility of your own handwriting. Those who prefer writing with large ink reservoirs or highly pigmented iron gall inks should allow extra drying time or switch to pigmented ink.
