[@ElaineWangyy]

I really appreciate that you're introducing alternatives(dupes). As much as I love MUJI, it's not that easy to get my hands on it since I don't live in a city. Thank you!

[@arapaimagold8088]

I think Muji is the dupes of popular stuff in this vid...

[@summer12371]

Just saying, it is no secret that Muji's stationeries are made by OEM partners ( I think mostly Zebra? ) That's why you can find that the refills and design are very similar, sometimes it's identical. If you want the design, go for Muji, but if you want cheaper versions, go for the "original" ones. I think notebooks and schedule books are the best products in Muji's stationery section. 🤷🏻‍♀️ (English is not my native language, sorry if I don't express myself clearly)

[@studyquill]

ohh cool I did not know that! good to know :)

[@Tom_-]

A lot is Pentel, too. For instance they have these fantastic retractable erasers.

[@bingbong3011]

You have perfect English, no need to apologise~

[@Crazytesseract]

Certainly. And that pencil is certainly the graph gear 500, and is made by Pentel.

[@i_sulfat]

Don’t worry, you have better english than most native English speaking people.

[@wserenam]

muji is so runny if you don't use it while holding it for a few seconds, when you use it again, there's an ink blot. >:( or maybe it's just my pen. muji is so minimalistic and aesthetic though so...

[@genericusername9097]

Serena my darker inked 0.5 mm pens do that too. The lighter colors and finer Tup's dont for me however :)

[@genericusername9097]

Tips*

[@AnimeAndMusicLover16]

its also usually just the called gel pens that do that, I find that the clicker ones don't do that

[@AnimeAndMusicLover16]

by clicker I mean the smooth writing gel pens lol

[@aimabietdautroi]

I bought a few on Ebay and muji. The ones on Ebay pool ink so much making me think they are fake ...

[@soo7072]

admit it, *we all buy muji stationery because it looks cute* 😅

[@ivanasarevska1682]

Yes! This is so correct😀

[@tina-fz9ht]

muji's main appeal is aesthetics tbh (and their paper/binders)

[@SoLilC]

Just got accepted to college a couple of days ago! And I can't wait to use some Muji stationary for my career

[@jaswitha.6700]

Who doesn’t tho.

[@notjamie2325]

LMAO when I was seven I went to a muji store and I got an eraser a black one and I didn’t really know what muji was back then but I loved it so much and then one day my classmate threw in the trash when I was using it for like three years

[@Olivia-ll6rg]

Poor eraser 😥

[@SleepEludesMe647]

The one time I found a Muji pen lying around on the pavement while walking around my college campus while no one seemed to be around was the only time I could afford a Muji anything 😅 For a free pen, it was fine, but I can find better stuff for the equivalent of 50 cents (USD). I’m also a huge fan of the Zebra SARASA line (because they’re actually available in my local bookstore chain) and while those are still painful to shop for since they’re easily twice or even three times the price of any of my other pens (there was a time when they had a price hike and my heart crashed, thank goodness they brought it back down last year), I always stick to them when I have exams because of their reliability and comfort.

[@carmelkimbalbieran2852]

TO PH PEOPLE! Muji's gel ink pens has a lot of dupes in local National Bookstores, and I would recommend the Dong-A gel ink pens, they don't railroad that much, and they dry much more quicker!

[@user-xf5kq4dt1z]

kimchee OMG YES, Dong - A ! i really recommend them. But, i am more used on writing with some Pilot pens, etc.

[@kokocute123]

Dong-A .5 beats out Muji and Gtech. It doesn’t railroad and is very pigmented. Lots of sellers offering Dong-A refills online, my go to is in Shopee.

[@mengopie3790]

do you have any recommendation aside from dong-a? maybe give me atleast three dupes of muji gel pen, please?

[@namjooning2161]

there's a pen from Miniso that actually a carbon copy of Muji! idk if it is available on all branches.

[@hello-gb9ug]

[@arapaimagold8088]

Kokuyo Cyo-bo has better paper and Life Noble Note is even better with more sheets for only a little bit higher price tag.

Tbh, the muji black gel pen was the smoothest, like..... legit the smooooooooothest black pen I've EVER used, and for the highlighter thing, for me, it never smudged or anything, works just FINE

I see that Muji pens are very popular and I've seen they are far fancier than some of the pilot pens which I've owned, but I yet await to get my hands on one.

[@skye2053]

For languages, I use two books per language. One book is general classwork, with tests stuck in back and obviously classwork at front. The other book is grammar and voab. Grammar words like a list of family members, and then front for like articles and cases! It is a lot easier to understand exactly where everything is in a neat tidy way.

[@LLLadySSS]

Omg I remember a few years ago when I ordered these on Amazon... I paid 30€!!!!!!!! for customs wtf Also, yes. I can confirm that writing with them for extended periods of time hurts your fingers especially towards the end. If you want to highlight over them you need to wait some time otherwise it'll smudge very badly.

[@amaris5141]

the new variations of the pens are much better ! esp the capped pens , they don’t smudge anymore and the body is thicker , which makes it more comfortable to hold :)

in my personal experience, when you get a new muji pen it might skip a little but once you start using the pen it will be very consistent. also when the ink is past the label of the pen, it might start to railroad. this might be just something that i have to deal with because i have a very tight grip on my pen and i am very heavy handed with writing as well. this is just my personal experience with the gel ink pens, all of the sizes, 0.38, 0.5 and the 0.7.
