Campus Smart Ring Binder - A5 - 20 Rings - Light Blue [Office Product]

It opens fairly easily now that I know how. If I read Japanese I'd have known how not to open it the first time, but no harm done. Translation via Google Lens is really helpful for Kokuyo products. I like being able to fold the covers around back to back for writing to give some stiffness, especially with their small capacity. I also have a Kokuyo 2x2 slim binder. I keep one at home and carry one in my bag and transfer sheets between them as needed. Great paper for fountain pens at a good price, so I bought plenty of filler paper. I like having a spiral notebook I can add and remove pages from.

僕の昔から持っているルーズリーフのノートより紙が全面机にフィットして無理なく書けるから気分がよく書きやすいから買いました。写真を送る。家計簿もつけられて書き込みやすい。竹風は僕の雅号です。書の光誌で3段です。

It's fine. You can't really flip the cover around to the back.--it doesn't lay flat. I'd suggest Kokuyo paper and a Muji cover/binder.

I saw this in a Japanese based stationary shop and decided to give this a try. I have the larger size (B6?) which is a close size to a composition book ~ if I was in college I would definitely go with the larger size. This size A5 is the size of a 8.5x11 folded in 1/2. This notebook is amazing! I can carry as little or as many pages of paper and I can move it all around (which allows me to group different subjects together ... home remodeling, parent's health care, work and/or children's school related things. You'll only need one notebook since you can always add and remove paper once you purchase the notebook. I don't know why I wasn't aware about this in college. This would be a life changer for me then!!

Love the light baby blue, only thing is the clamp that clips the paper and notebook together is really small and wasn’t able to hold all of my paper 😭
