The Hobonichi Weeks Shocking Mistake You Didn’t Know About

In this video I take a look at my disappointing experience so far with the 2025 Hobonici Weeks planner, which I had high hopes for when I first purchased it. The paper has had terrible performance and bleed through, which has made it quite frustrating to use as I had anticipated a smoother experience. As a result of this bleed through, it is making it a single side of the paper use, which is not what I was hoping for at all.

This is my first time using any of the Hobonici books, and I was really looking forward to exploring this brand. However, I have talked to and shown examples of what I am seeing to others, and the general agreement among my fellow planner enthusiasts is that the paper is sub par. I really wanted to love this planner, but the issues with the paper have unfortunately overshadowed the positives I was hoping to find in this product. In this video, I will be sharing my thoughts in detail, along with some visual examples, so you can see exactly what I am experiencing.
