Ink Review: Sailor Manyo, Anniversary Set

There’s a new release from Sailor Manyo inks – a 5th Anniversary limited edition! I find it hard to believe that nearly five years has passed since I reviewed the first round of Sailor Manyo inks. Since that time, Sailor has added to the Manyo lineup with a second full round and four dual shading inks (these dual shaders also come in a mini size!) and I have yet to resist a single bottle of these…

Finally decided to label my inks so I can tell which bottle is what when I look at them from the top 😤

Tools Used:

Tomoe River paper

glass rod

Kokuyo Gloo tape

Got some Derwent Inktense pencils.

So I got a sample of Sailor Manyo Fuji ink a while ago and, like an idiot, didn't swatch it bc it looked like a regular blue ink.

I WAS WRONG !

Also: fountain pen friends, I would love love love to hear your headcanons about Artemis' own fountain pen/ink preferences.

Artemis will disassemble and clean a fountain pen with the same level of intensity as Butler disassembling and cleaning one of his guns.

New pen! a hongdian n9 with a long blade nib in just the most enticing cotton candy trans flag colours.

i love any built in line variety, but the long blade knib definitely shares some of the angle touchiness of the similar architect nib, so there will be an adjustment period.

I filled it with my most pastel ink, sailor's nekoyanagi from their manyo line.

I'm growing to accept that, despite the potential quality and lifetime add of metal, i prefer plastic pen bodies. This resin body is warm, it's thick enough for my nerve grafted hand to hold comfortably, and it's not too heavy. there's something inherently soft about a resin pen body, I really do think they're my favorites so far.

that said, i don't have a turned wood or antler fountain pen and I'm extremely open to falling in love with those too if anyone knows a good one!

anyways, fountain pens! they're good actually. still. of course.

Eye Candy: Sailor Manyo Dual Shading Mini Sets

While working at the Dromgoole’s table in St. Louis, I was able to score both of the Sailor Manyo Limited Edition Dual Shading sets (4 each with 20ml bottles, $60). Set #1 is a brighter assortment and includes  Haha, Nekoyanagi, Sakura, Nadeshiko. I swatched each bottle on Col-o-ring paper and then used a 1″ circle punch to cut the swatches and glue onto the top of the lids. It’s easy to see…

#PleinAirpril day 5 - Sailor Manyo Ink Sakura bottle still life

[sylvanitchi]

doodles with my fave ink featuring the washi tape i got for one of my bffs for xmas

[themetalvirus]

hi! I was wondering what you used for your silver doodles? (Paper, markers, etc?) love your art :)

AHH!! i used a LOT of different pens on that page, let me give you the rundown (i assume you mean this one)

first were all of my currently inked fountain pens - i have a few that i havent filled for a while just b/c theyre a pain

left to right: moonman m2 inked with sailor manyo sakura, kaweco sport in limited edition iridescent pearl inked with j herbin diabolo menthe, moonman n6 inked with j herbin corail des tropiques, nahvalur original in peter draws artist edition silver inked with sailor manyo sakura, twsbi eco inked with pilot iroshizuku hana-ikada, twsbi diamond 580 in special edition iris inked with pilot iroshizuku hana-ikada, and a lamy safari in special edition light rose inked with diamine soft mint! all nibs are fine except for the twsbi eco, it has a bold nib

i also used the tombow fudenosuke brush pen, a red pilot g2, and a couple other random black pens i had laying around (cant remember the specific ones)

for the markers, i use copics because i am unfortunately that bitch, SOWWY. i recommend buying cheaper alcohol markers like ohuhu or touchfive/touchnew instead. the generic michaels brand ones are prone to dye crystalization so i cant recommend them

the paper is just shitty sketchbook paper, i think its literally strathmore Sketch(tm) paper, the one with the yellow cover. i have to put a piece of paper between the pages to make sure markers dont bleed thru, but it surprisingly handles fountain pens really well. also im just guessing because my friend gave the sketchbook to me as a graduation gift and she ripped the cover off to hide how much (or more accurately, little) she paid for it :P im still friends with her shes awesome

Excited to get some ink samples this week. I've drooled over Troublemaker Inks for years, but they're based in the Philippines and for a long time nobody in the US carried them. So I was very excited to learn that Vanness stocks them now.

Love love love shading inks. Troublemaker does dual-shaders. Not many brands do. Sailor is another, with their Manyo line. I have Manyo Hinoki and I love it.

Swatching my inks on Iroful paper and Tomoe River paper for comparison

I don't think anything can beat the way TR shows sheening haha, some of the sheening inks are like 99% sheen and 1% actual colour 😂

It's also interesting that some swatches look more cool-toned on the Iroful paper; Sailor Yurameku Kyokkou, Sailor Yurameku Hana-gokoro, Ink Institute Mexican Hens, and Sailor Yurameku Kitsune-biyori

I always seem to have trouble capturing Sailor Shikiori Sakura-mori, Kin-mokusei, and Sailor Manyo Sakura on camera. They are NOT that neon irl and are very legible. Manyo Sakura is more on the lighter side but it still isn't like what those photos are showing, I enjoyed journaling with it this summer!

An ink doodle I did of Sora for my friend Jasper that I'll be mailing to her 💛 Had fun picking out inks from my collection I think they ended up suiting Sora a lot!
