I chose this notebook over a Rhodia webnotebook, and it was such a good decision! The paper is lovely; I've been using it with medium fountain pen nibs and haven't had any issues with bleed-through or ghosting. The cover is understated and durable and the binding feels sturdy. I'll be buying more of these in future! Hoping to see more cover designs and colors.

This is a fantastic notebook if you -- like me -- want something with a similar form factor to Moleskine or Leuchtturm, but with gorgeous, buttery Tomoe River Paper.
The color is vibrant, the embossing on the cover adds a fun nerdy touch, and the texture of the leather is smooth and supple; the whole thing has a very clean and minimalist look with a hint of fun. The two ribbons to keep your place are elegantly skinny and seem well-attached (I have a tendency to destroy these, and I've only just started writing in the journal, but I have high hopes they'll stand the test of time). There are page numbers pre-printed and a back pocket to keep notes as well.
The pages lie flat so you can write on the entire surface, no matter where you are in the journal. As expected, I have only good things to say about Tomoe River paper: it stands up to my fountain pen with no bleed-through or feathering and only the smallest amount of show-through. I believe this is the thicker variety so there's even less show-through and it's still enough to have 200 pages in a very light-weight notebook. The dot grid is dark enough to easily write on and faint enough to ignore as well.
Highly recommend, and I'm already looking forward to my next Odyssey notebook!

Great set. Loved the bundle set. Able to get one of every design. Needless to say, the tomoe river 68 GSM paper is great with fountain pens but I also love the simplicity of the design. The Little details brings it to another level. I also live the feel of the cover.

This journal is simple or muted in its design but the “Neptune” cover gives extra meaning when you look up Neptune’s meaning. The paper is very nice and has received the fountain pen and ink well. I highly recommend this for journaling.

Well made notebook with high quality material. I love the design and planning on buying the whole set. I am very pleased with my purchase and will be coming for more.
