I love this ink, but in most of my pens, it's rather difficult to read. I wish it's a bit more saturated so I can use it on daily basis.

LG, you make everything look awesome.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

When I read the title I wondered how different this was from Sailor Manyo LOL and Sailor Manyo ROFL. In all seriousness though, beautiful colours!

I keep coming back to this review, to get another look at this marvellous ink. I have way too many inks already, but I’m definitely getting this one. Resistance has proved to be futile :)

Great review and photos, as always.

 

I do believe that I have found the perfect pen for this ink. See what you think.

Where, oh where, can the little Ha Ha be? I've been looking high and low.

Just got it at Goldspot. Not sure if they still have stock, but it's worth a try. Good luck!

Thanks for your review, would you mind telling me which pen (or generally which kind of pen) you used to write the bigger cursive titles?

I mean, what I understood was, the first half of the "sample" section was written in M1000, but that's much thinner line than the fancy cursive title. That's why I got confused.

It’s still the M1000 Broad. It’s a very soft and flexible nib.

All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews

I have a love-hate relationship with this ink. It is unbelievably fussy about which pen it will write in. It requires an extremely wet writer and a very broad nib to work best, but then of course it looses a lot of its subtlety. All of these colour shifting pale inks have been problematic, but the Manyo series hasn't been that successful in my view either. Kikyou and Nekonyanagi were both extremely dry inks and actually really horrible to use. Akebi has lovely saturation and good flow, but in a weird way that I don't quite understand has next to no lubrication making even the smoothest of nibs feel like writing on sandpaper.* There was another in the range that I had and it would just dry up and stop altogether even in the wettest of pens. Sadly I can't recall what it was but I gave it away instantly because I found it so dreadful. It's a pity because the colours themselves are great.

 

*Quite a few of the Sailor Studio line that I've tried have similar problems.

Have you tried adding a little bit of flow aid? Made a huge amount of difference to mine, as well as to the very sec kyo-n-oto's that I love the colours of so much.

i bought this ink last year after searching for a new light blue... it really is beautiful but needs a broad for both legibility and character.   I've never seen the reddish sheen tho...   It's spring time in California... time to ink something up with it.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
