Hobonichi Pocket Planner 2027 Weeks MEGA Bow & Tie: Candy Dream (engl.)

The Hobonichi Taschenplaner Weeks MEGA in the format of a long wallet – narrow enough for a jacket pocket, with enough paper for the entire year. The Bow & Tie series cover is made from glossy polyester fabric used for ties: silky, subtly textured, pleasantly soft to the touch. "Candy Dream" brings a candy pattern in playful, sweet colors – a cover that makes you want to open the planner every morning. Inside: Tomoe River Paper, saddle-stitched, 384 pages.

Special Features

• Bow & Tie Tie Fabric Cover: The hardcover is wrapped in the same glossy polyester fabric used to make ties – silky-matte shimmer, soft to the touch, yet rigid enough to write comfortably without a writing pad.
• MEGA Scope with 219 Pages of Grid Paper: Compared to the standard Weeks, the MEGA variant contains approximately three times as much grid paper in the back section – 219 pages (English edition) in 3.55 mm grid that can be used without counting: for notes, sketches, trackers, collages.
• Tomoe River Paper: Thin, light, and yet durable – Tomoe River Paper is known for keeping ink reliably on the surface without bleeding through. Fountain pen inks bead slightly, dry cleanly, and show their shimmer particularly intensively.
• Weekly view on the left, free grid field on the right: The left page shows the seven days of the week (Monday through Sunday) in horizontal rows. On the right: a completely free millimeter page – for plans, drawings, lists, or anything else that belongs in the weekly flow.
• Monthly Calendar and Annual Overview: The planner begins with a two-page spread showing annual calendars for 2026, 2027, and 2028 for quick planning ahead, followed by monthly calendars from December 2026 to March 2028.
• Thread Binding: The saddle stitching holds the book together through daily use for an entire year and allows the book to open flat – without staples or spirals that could be bothersome.
• Weekly Quote on Each Two-Page Spread: Each weekly view features a quote from the Japanese web magazine "Hobonichi" – in English in this edition.
• Included Accessory: Clear Corner Pocket: The package includes a self-adhesive transparent corner pocket – can be placed on any page, for example for tickets, notes, or photos.

Application & Tips

• Fountain Pens and Ink-Rich Pens: Tomoe River Paper is perfect for writing with fountain pens – inks with sheen, shading, or shimmer particles come into their own on this paper. Fine to medium-width nibs work best on the 3.55 mm grid page; broad nibs need a bit more drying time.
• The Right Weekly Page as a Diary Page: Many Hobonichi users use the free grid page as a daily sketch page, mood board, or picture diary – however, be careful with watercolors on Tomoe River Paper: too much water can cause the thin pages to ripple.
• MEGA Pages as Bullet Journal Extension: With 219 free millimeter pages, you can build an independent bullet journal system in the back of the book: habit trackers, future log, collections – all in one volume.
• Sticky Corners for Mementos: The included transparent corner pocket is ideal for setting up a small storage area on one of the millimeter pages – for receipts, admission tickets, or a cut-out calendar.
• Combination with Weeks Cases: The Bow & Tie cover can be combined with a matching transparent protective case to protect the tie fabric – especially recommended with intensive pocket use, as the fabric is more delicate than laminated synthetic leather.

For Planning Enthusiasts

The Weeks MEGA format is exclusively available with a January start. The Tomoe River Paper in the planner shows a characteristic shimmer effect with fountain pen inks: inks with strong shading develop particularly distinct color gradations on the slightly cream-colored surface. The 3.55 mm grid is printed with dotted lines instead of solid lines, which increases the readability of your own entries and makes the page feel more open. The thread binding (saddle stitching) makes the book stable with daily use without the pages sticking to the spine – an advantage over pure adhesive binding, which can break more easily with thin paper and frequent use.
