MD A5 Plain Paper Notebook from Business & School Supply

This notebook is a joy to use. The plain MD paper has a smooth, high-quality feel that works beautifully with both pencils and pens, and it handles fountain pen ink with minimal bleed-through. Writing on it feels effortless, making it ideal for journaling, sketching, or note-taking. The A5 size strikes a nice balance—portable enough to carry anywhere, yet with plenty of space for longer writing sessions. The minimalist design is elegant and understated, letting the focus stay on the writing itself. Durable, clean, and versatile, it’s the kind of notebook that quickly becomes a favorite.

I'm a fan of these so I'm biased. I think they're great. easy to get a bit dirty though. they lay flat, the paper quality is nice. they're good with fountain pens and pencils. I'll honestly buy these for any class I have to take i the future. the A5 size is perfect because it makes you keep your notes concise and clean and you dont have a ton of wasted space on each page so the material is nice and dense when you try and study. I like to buy the blank paper version. Personally have grown to dislike lined paper unless its graphed like calculation pads or engineering notebooks but blank is my favorite. The cream paper looks great too. Some will say the paper is see through and that's totally true. it's not transparent but just like reading a book you can see the print on the back side. I thought that would bother me, and it did at first but you get used to it and all of the pros out weigh that. Also the hard card stock for the cover and back are thick enough you can paint with water colors if you're into that. I've done it and it came out great. also I havent found another notebook like this one so if you're interested in the uniqueness then give it a try, or try the A4 size (at the time if this review, amazon doesnt carry the blank A4 model).

Love it. Paper feels so nice

Very high quality. It lays flat once you kinda create it once. The paper is a little thin, but not a problem. Note: Dont use as toilet paper

This paper is great for fountain pens. Hard press writing -NO Bleedthrough. Smooth glides across the paper. I just wish there were more pages.

I got this specifically to draw a graphic novel. I've used the A6 size before for journals and other projects and I love these notebooks for all art related projects. I got the A5 size because that's the size that is closest to what I'll be publishing the final product and it not only handles fountain pen ink without the slightest signs of bleed but it can also take a lot of water color without bleeding at all. The subsequent page did get a little wavy but soon returned to a mostly flat state after drying and the page I inked then did a watercolor wash over also curled but it wasn't anything a few hours with the book closed couldn't fix. These are great for journaling, drawing, etc. For me, they are Project notebooks. They have a vibe to them that invites you to use them for whatever artistic endeavor you choose whether it's writing an album or drawing a comic or just taking notes. These are some of the best notebooks ever made.

Midori products never fail me and are great quality :) thanks MIDORI

UPDATED 11/11/2021 Since my initial review, I have bought and used several midori MD notebooks in B6slim and A6 sizes. The paper in other notebooks is smooth but I noticed that sometimes a rougher page in between. For the most part I really enjoy these notebooks. Inks have good shading and character on this paper but I have to be careful to not get extra oils from my hands onto the paper as it will cause some fountain pens and inks to stop writing. I will continue to purchase them. ORIG: So disappointed. The cardboard soft cover came with a large fold/crease down the front and two creases on the back cover. I had heard so many good things about midori paper but was not happy to find the paper in the blank unruled notebooks are not consistent. Some pages feel smooth and some are very toothy/rough. I understand some want toothier paper for art but this was going to me my writing journal so I wanted smooth lovely paper. I didn’t expect a notebook to have a multitude of different papers. I would have returned it but amazon says returns are not possible for this product. Oh well. I wish I stuck with my go to stalogy which has been consistent with their paper and quality.

Spedizione, imballaggio, consegna....tutto perfetto come sempre. Il taccuino non vale quello che costa. È piuttosto insignificante secondo me.

Muy buenos cuadernos. Hojas blancas y diseño minimalista.

Es un cuaderno bastante funcional. Antes usaba de otra casa, pero los últimos que he comprado no me han resultado de calidad. Con este Midori puedo escribir, utilizar pinturas, tintas, acuarelas... y no traspasa (usando el sentido común, no deja de ser un papel satinado y fino). Muy contenta con Midori. Y ya comentar el aspecto estético, es minimalista y me gusta mucho.

the best notebook, well worth the price, the writing experience is unmatched,, i pair with the clear cover and it looks clean and minimalist
