Hobonichi Weeks - Pens, Highlighters, and Markers that Work

Hobonichi Planners

If you love your Hobonichi Weeks planner as much as I do, you know that finding the right writing utensils can be a little challenging. One of the best attributes of the Hobonichi line is their amazing paper - somehow their paper is the thinest paper I've ever used, yet the quality of the paper prevents issues with bleeding, show through, and smearing. It's some kind of voodoo magic, if you ask me.

Types of writing tools

Being someone who has a moderate addiction to planners and a marker collection that required an extra rider on my renters insurance to adequately cover (not even kidding), it's fair to say that I've tried a good amount of writing tools. Below are my top ten recommended writing tools for the Hobonichi weeks.
