KOKUYO Composition Notebooks, 5 Pack Campus Semi-B5 Comp Book with B 6mm Ruled, 30 Sheets, Classic School Lined Notebook, Journal Notebook for Women Work Study Note Taking (NO-3CBNx5)

Just the right size for a semester course and it takes fountain pen nicely as well. The full 180 layout is nice too.

This year I decided to try out these notebooks instead of my typical spiral bound or composition books, since I don't typically use a full notebook in class and feel like I'm being wasteful when I use up too much of the notebook to reuse it another semester but still have too many sheets to just toss out. I liked how these had properly bound spines, which means there's no fear of denting or scraping my computer or rental-books.The paper is very nice, seems like it has a good tooth to it and is a good thickness for note taking. I like how there's no wasted space with a margin and that each one has a space for a date and such. The color of the blue lines is nice, not too thin or too light, not too thick or too dark. This particular kind of Campus notebook only has dots/guides on the first and last lines, not on each one like some other kinds of Campus notebook. While these are pretty small books, I feel like they're still very functional. I love the color variation; makes it easy to tell them apart for different subjects. Despite the way the spines are bound, they still allow the notebook to lay flat. The whole of the book is pretty flexible, you can actually roll it up into a tube.Overall, I'm very happy with these notebooks and think I'll purchase these from now on. Yes, they're a little pricey, but I think the quality overall makes them worth it. I use them for my college classes and I much prefer taking these with me than carrying several of the larger notebooks. Saves a lot of space in my bag.Oh, and for anyone wondering, the difference between the A and B Campus notebooks is simply the space sizes and line count. A notebooks have larger spaces and less lines (so it's like wide-ruled compared to college rule, though I think these books tend to be even smaller than college ruled) while B notebooks have smaller spaces and more lines.

(Updated as of: 9/20/17)As of right now, I am going into my third year of high school. In the past, I've had problems with wasting paper using the traditional, American, 5 or 3-subject notebooks, or even the single subject ones for that matter. I've decided to finally give these Kokuyo Campus notebooks a fair shot. .[ Pros: ]- The cover is a lot sturdier than I had anticipated.- They're slim, which is always nice, because I don't want my notebooks taking up too much room in my bag.- The paper is smooth at the touch, and the different colors help to divide each class you are using them for.- Upon using these notebooks for about a month or two into school, I grew a liking to the material of the paper. WhenI want to write with pen or highlight something, it does not bleed through the paper like how it does with traditionalnotebooks.- The line it provides for a date and page number has been extremely useful for to me so far.[ Cons: ]- A nitpick of mine is that the corners, including the ends of the spine, seem fragile. However, this isn't a huge concern for me, because I am good at taking care of my stuff. If you do decide to order this, I recommend you also try to take care of the notebooks, so that they can last longer.- Avoid ripping any pages out. It can damage the spine if you are too harsh.Overall, these notebooks are great! They're well made and were delivered to me quickly. I will probably update this review once I really start using them when school starts, but so far, I don't have any complaints.

Allow me to begin by echoing the praises of the other reviews above me: these notebooks do not dissapoint. Being a college student fresh to the world of fountian pens, these notebooks have served my needs well.Tight page rule aids in paper conservation and, surprisingly, aids in keeping my notes organized. The paper is decently think and surprisingly smooth, allowing the fine-tipped nib of my Lamy Safari to glide across the pages with ease. Atop that, these sheets are quite resistent to bleed through and feathering, with only minor ghosting effects when paired with wetter inks (such as Lamy black.)Each page features a dedicated header header with marked spaces for specifying date and note number, beneath that is a margin just large enough for small notes.These notebooks are quite slim, excelent for sticking inside of a small bookbag. Each book has only 30 pages but as mentioned previously, the tight page rule helps in making these notebooks last. (As of this writing, I have yet to fill the first three from my last semester, and only one is even remotely close to being full.)If you, too, are a college student fresh to the world of fountian pens, or even if you're not, give these notebooks a try. You will not regret it.(P.S. Please excuse the damage to the red notebook. I am quite tough on these pads, and what little damage they do feature is more a testament to their build quality than a marker of poor craftsmanship.)

I thought it would be a little big ig but honestly there cute. The colors are pretty I thought the paper would be thick but it’s medium honestly

Gorgeous! Amazing for school! Got them cause I needed something thin yet efficient since I have a somewhat smaller book bag, they’re amazing. My dream notebooks since I saw them on Pinterest

The media could not be loaded. These are AMAZING. Exactly what I needed. They are thin, yes, but I didn't need anything larger. I haven't experienced any bleeding, as I showed in the video^ The notebooks are durable and the paper doesn't rip when you erase, like other can do. These are PERFECT for school, I use mine to take personal notes for school, as I am online, but I believe I'd still love them for in-person school as well. Maybe not for a maths class, depending on how much journal work you'd do, but for English notes, Spanish notes etc, it's perfect 🫶 (also, I did receive the other two, they're just for next semester) Love these so much, if you're on the fence about buying them,,,just buy them 🫶🫶
