Hello, this is Mizunoya, in charge of social media on the Techo Team.

This time, the theme is “My Hobonichi Techo for 2025,” and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying reading everyone’s Techo News as a fellow fan.

Now, here’s the planner lineup I chose!

I've chosen so much!

- Japanese Cousin　Book [A5/January Start/Monday Start]
- Taut Zipped (Cafe au Lait Plaid) [A5 Cousin Size]
- Phoolon (Large Flowers) [A5 Cousin Size]
- Unsodo: Bijutsukai (Rainbow) [HON (A6 Size)]
- Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo (2025-2029) [A5 Size]
- Coji-Coji: Lots of Coji-Coji [Weeks] (Loft Exclusive)


I really went all out for 2025, didn’t I?

Before diving into each one, let me tell you about my “drama journal” journey.
I’ve been quietly sharing updates about it in Techo News and social media posts for some time now. After much trial and error this year, I finally concluded:

“Weeks is just the right size!”


I tried cramming everything into HON A6 Size...

...and dedicating a two-page spread per show in Day-Free A5 Size.

I experimented with different setups, but I often found myself stuck because of the self-imposed rules I’d created.

All I really wanted to capture was how I felt about a show when I watched it. So, I decided to let go of the strict rules and focus on writing casually in a Weeks.



Now, anything goes:
- Jot down a quick thought like a speech bubble? Perfect!
- Let the words spill out of the boxes? Why not!
- Skip a week? Totally fine!

With this mindset, I’ve been able to enjoy the process and stick with it. When I look back, the short, one-line reflections make it easier to recall my favorite scenes. Sometimes, I even draw a little doodle for fun.


Including the title and subtitle helps me remember the plot of each episode. If I run out of space, I jot down more thoughts on the right-hand memo page. Oh, and Kijitani-san’s final expression? So good!

That wraps up my drama planner update! Now, let’s talk about the planners I chose for 2025.

Weeks → Drama journal

The Loft-exclusive Coji-Coji Weeks (and matching pencil board) was a hard-fought victory. I called multiple stores, visited several locations, and even had my husband check near his workplace before I finally found it!


The little Coji-Coji sleeping by the “2025” and the one showing off their cute backside in the middle? Absolutely adorable. With this cheerful Coji-Coji by my side, I’m excited to keep recording my favorite dramas.

HON A6 Size → Monthly illustrated diary & collage

For the HON A6 Size, I chose the colorful, retro-style Bijutsukai (Rainbow) by Unsodo. I’ve been drawing a monthly illustrated diary this year, so I plan to continue in 2025!


When the drawings turn out well, it’s a joy. When they don’t, they’re a funny memory to look back on later. Either way, it’s so much fun that I want to keep it up.

For the daily pages, I’m thinking of trying something new?perhaps a collage or scrapbook style.

Cousin → Work planner
For work, I’m sticking with the Cousin again this year. However, I couldn’t decide between the Taut Zipped and Phoolon covers, so I got both!


The Taut Zipped has a luxurious, sturdy fabric, so I’m thinking of using it during the colder months. When the weather warms up, I’ll switch to the cheerful Phoolon cover.

Here’s the pencil board I’ll be pairing with my work planner: Hobonichi Pencil Board for A5 Size (Paddington)



On the back of the pencil board, there’s a tiny, adorable Paddington. He’s trying to climb a tall step while carrying way too much?so many questions come to mind! How can he see? Are his hands okay? What’s that hat made of? Whenever work gets tough, I’ll take a peek at Paddington and smile.

5-Year Techo → Diary

Since 2024 was the final year of my previous 5-Year Techo, I’m excited to start a new one for 2025. I can’t wait to see what the next five years have in store!

Thank you for reading until the end. Here’s to enjoying another year of planning in 2025!

Stay tuned for the next update!
