The Weeks Mega book contains approximately three times the number of memo pages as the standard version. This allows users to fill the blank pages to their hearts’ content without having to worry about running out of pages.
The weight is 182 g (6.4 oz), only 44 g (1.6 oz) more than the standard Bow & Tie Weeks book. The thickness is 16 mm (0.6 in), only 5 mm (0.2 in) thicker than the standard Bow & Tie Weeks book.
We now have the first Weeks Mega book for the “Bow & Tie” series. It is made of fabric used for neckties and tailored for the Weeks. The tie fabric features a pleasantly uneven texture and a beautiful luster.
For the Cherry design, abundant cherries are lined up on a crisp sky-blue cover. The necktie weave details the cherries’ fruit, branches, and leaves. The fabric used for neckties has a weave texture that is pleasant to the touch and has an appealing silky luster.
The round, bright red cherries are differently designed according to the number of cherries: one, two, three, or four. The fine branches with four cherries also have cherry blossom flowers blooming.
The cover has been constructed as a light, hardcover book with some give to it so it still bends.
When you order this Hobonichi Techo Weeks, you’ll receive a clear, adhesive corner pocket you can stick anywhere you like.
The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. This paper that underwent an overhaul with the 2024 edition techo is more resistant to bleed through, lighter despite being the same thickness, and has a smoother surface by adjusting the fibers of the paper.
The Weeks Mega book has space for writing in plans or journal entries, and it also has 213 pages of grid paper memo pages in the back (217 pages in the English edition Weeks). The back of the book contains bonus pages, including Sample Symbols and Icons and Oodles of Noodles.
The Hobonichi Techo 2025 Weeks book comes in either English or Japanese. If you love this cover, then you can pick out which language you’d like in that book.
*Both the English and Japanese editions of the Weeks Mega only come as January-start versions.
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.

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.
The patterned fabric has not been aligned to a specific layout, so the placement of each design will vary by product. The product will not be an exact replica of the one in the product photographs.
The material in this product snags easily on sharp objects, so please handle with care.
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.
Characteristics of materials and product design may result in white spots on the edges and corners of the front and back. The corners of the cover contain light traces of press marks, shines, and lumps. This is an unavoidable part of the manufacturing process.
If you’ve used any of these products, we welcome your notes on what you like about them or what led you to buy them so we can share it with customers who are currently considering these products. We’d also love to welcome comments from customers who purchased their techo outside the Hobonichi Store or received their book as a gift.
