Directed by Sonya Park of Arts&Science, the English Planner Book is the internationally focused edition of the iconic Original Book. Designed for ease of use across all countries and languages, the refined charcoal gray and red layout, exclusive bonus pages, and elegant details set this Planner apart.
The matte black cover is foil-pressed with the Japanese characters for “techo” alongside the Arts&Science key logo, while the spine is stamped in gold with the year 2026 and “HOBO” for quick bookshelf reference.
Like all Hobonichi planners, this edition is bound with thread-stitch binding so it lays flat like a dictionary for comfortable writing. The pages use Tomoe River paper—thin, lightweight, and fountain pen friendly—ideal for daily writing, notes, and creative journaling.
Pair your Planner with a Hobonichi Techo cover for extra protection and storage space (sold separately).

I find that your feedback request is a bit premature seeing as it is a 2027 planner, and as 2027 hasn't started yet, I haven't started using it yet.
But as it is Hobonichi and the paper is fantastic, I expect it will provide me with the same very enjoyable writing experience as the two previous ones I used.
