This must have been a #mistake. LOL I picked up this 5 pack of Kokuyo Campus B5, 100 sheet #notebooks for $6 per book. Most places list an individual book for $10-$14 USD. I'm using these books for my daily writing now. Mostly because of the price, compared to an Apica CD Premium #notebook priced at $16 dollars, the Campus seemed like a reasonable option. I've seen that Doodlebud has compared these against his Muji paper, and thought that it was comparable. But since I don't have access to Muji paper here, the Campus is the best option. These do hold up to #fountainpen usage. While I mostly use a fine nib, I have used a medium and even a broad nib with it, and it's been good. I don't know if it would work well with a 1.1mm nib, but I may try it at some point. |

キァンパス reads weird. I would have expected カンパス (campus) |

I can't say I understand Japanese enough to understand why the "キァ" vs "カ" makes it weird. |

キァ is pronounced like "K'ya" where カ is "Ka". Japanese loanwords be weird. |

That's not too uncommon for the "short a" sound of "cat" and "campus". All I can figure is that it's so far front in the mouth that it sounds more like ヤ than ア to the Japanese ear. |

I pronounce the "ca" in "campus" like the "ca" in carrot, cabin, and Canada, so "キャ" makes perfect sense to me. Do you pronounce it like car, caw, and call? |
