*dreamy sigh* I live in hope that Midori and Kirin come back in stock at some point.

I have a bottle of each, but in mitigation I have tried to share the love by offering samples of both in a PIF.

I must admit that if I had these I would zealously hoard every last drop.

ohh yeah the ink from penne19 is Gakunan Densha ink

named after the sole electric train in the Gakunan railway line in Shizuoka Prefecture

interestingly its labeled with the hex colorcode of FF4F00 (if anyone using photoshop and likes that color maybe you can get that one)

Here's a sample of the Bungunomori blue ink. Nice shading, just a hint of sheen.

Has anyone heard anything more about the Kingdom Note Sea Creatures line that was due out in May/June?

Breaking news I thought might be important - the Usagiya inks are kind of bad behavers. If you use TR paper exclusively, then don't worry, but I noticed that they all have more shadowing and some even have a bleedthrough on Rhodia paper. They all DEFINITELY bleed through onto more regular (but still FP friendly) paper.

 

I thought I had gotten a bad batch of Classic Crest (104gsm) that I use in my etsy shop, but after testing it with my bosses' pens that don't have Usagiya ink in them, the paper's fine. It's the inks that are not behaving.

 

As I said, if you use these on TR paper though, they are very nice.

 

Kojima Denim is the worst so far - it bleeds through on dotpad paper. Just letting everyone know!

I am on their mailing list and recently they have been sending out emails multiple times a week, sometimes more than once in a day. No word yet othervthan May or mod June. Just checked their website and the new inks are not yet listed. So, looks like some time these next two weeks.

Stopped by Kingdom Note today. The delivery of their inks has been pushed back to July.

I really hate reading this thread. It's a good thing I am so busy with other urgent non-inky matters.

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

I wonder if the Office Vender inks will ever come back.

hmm I dig a little bit of searching it seems the inks are locked into their Sendai branch... and may not be longer available as online sale... I hope someone going to get an Ohashido will hopefully drop by office-vendor in sendai

As mentioned in visvamitra's review of Suzuran Green, there is a new Kobe ink: something-or-other Midnight. Atsu verified that this is #51, and that he'll be listing it on his eBay store Monday. Since Kobe tends to release new colors in pairs or trios, I've asked him whether there could be another new one, too, and will update with his answer.
