SmoothRamuneWeeks Softcover Book
The all-new Smooth series marks its debut in the Hobonichi Techo 2023 lineup and features softcover Weeks books with an especially soft feel. The main characteristics of the series are the way these books fit into your hands and their unique colors.
Ramune has a matte light blue color that combines cute with refreshing. The year 2023 is foil-pressed in silver and sparkles when it catches the light.
This softcover book is easy to grasp in your hand, flip through the pages, and shove in your pocket. The ability to roughhouse this durable little book makes it very easy to use. Because the book uses soft materials, you’ll need to hold the pages down in order to open the book flat.
The two layers of soft polyurethane give the cover a moderate thickness and make the book durable.
When you order this Hobonichi Techo Weeks, you’ll receive a clear, adhesive corner pocket you can stick anywhere you like.
When you purchase your Hobonichi Techo through the online Hobonichi Store, you will receive a free 2023-edition (navy x brown pen body) Hobonichi Store exclusive 3-color Jetstream ballpoint pen (available while supplies last).
If you’d like storage space or a way to change up the look of your Weeks book, you can customize your book by pairing it with a Weeks cover.

Please Read Before You Buy
In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.
- Test fountain pens before regular use
The Hobonichi Techo's Tomoe River paper is designed to prevent bleed-through, but some fountain pens and water-based ink pens are not compatible with this paper. When switching to a new pen, we recommend testing the pen somewhere in the book, such as the back memo pages, to see if the ink bleeds through or takes an especially long time to dry.
- Cover corners are slightly bumpy and shiny
The corners of the cover contain light traces of press marks, shines, and lumps. This is an unavoidable part of the manufacturing process.
- Coloring may stain other objects
The dye in the cover may stain other objects if it rubs against or sticks to them, especially if the cover is wet from water or sweat from your hands. Please store with care.
- Imprinted year numbers may peel
The numbers of the year are stamped onto the cover in metallic or other colored leaf, so strong rubbing or everyday use may cause the numbers to peel off.
- Avoid storing in hot and humid places
Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains.
- Hold down book lightly to keep open
Due to the materials used in the cover, the book will need to be slightly held down while writing.
- Avoid using with Clear Cover
This cover uses thicker materials than usual, so it may not fit. Forcing it into a Clear Cover may damage the product.
