Ink Sample - Sailor Manyo

Ume is a lovely red ink that has nice shading to it. Think of Diamine Ox Blood but instead of a brownish red, Ume is more true to a red color. The shading is a light red color and a darker shade of red (almost like oxblood) where it pools. If you want to find an ink that is a little brighter than those darker reds, I highly recommend this one. Love love love.

Excellent Little Samples

Perfect size, packaged impeccably. Will order again.

Sailor Manyo Azuki

It's a nice soft red color, in a Jinhao 20 F nib it is a bit too pale to be readable. In a thicker nib I think it would work a lot better. I won't be getting a full bottle but I am glad I had the chance to try it!
