Tip (for Muji): just write out whatever u need to write, by the time u are done, the pen should be dried enough to be highlighted. they also have a new version, the pen tip for the capped one got longer, so it’s easier to write with. I have loved muji for the longest time and I’m too scared to move on and find a better pen when I love this one so much, so I found ways around the muji’s pens weaknesses.
Lol I love muji and got addicted like this month. I never had a smudge problem so they must have updated the ink. Now they are the only pens I will bulk buy even though they're not the cheapest of the lot in the vid.
Yess Muji is my go to pen, I don't think I can use any other pens unless their Muji branded, usually I wait for the ink to dry for 5 seconds and then highlight. Honestly I love the cap ones, I guess its comfortable for me to grip it because my finger has formed around the shape of it already lol.
For me, my muji gel pens have been absolutely fine at ink smudging. I could write something (with both my 0.5/0.7 pens) and highlight it instantly and they would never smudge. I don't know why so many people have this problem.
For me the Pilot Hi-Tec-C is a god send, as I have a tendency to add really tiny details when drawing and this is the only pen with a small enough tip for that
For the finest possible line you should consider learning to use drawing pens with disposable nibs. The Hunt's #102 Crow Quill and the Zebra G-nib are very popular for drawing. I do not draw but I sometimes use the 102 for lettering, and with the right paper and ink combination I can get lines that are something like 0.1 mm, and better yet with just changing the hand pressure I can vary it up to perhaps 0.4 or 0.5mm pretty easily. For inks you have a lot of options, you can go with old school India ink (Speedball super black, Higgins, Dr. Ph Martin) or newer inks with micropigments (ZIG, Platinum, Deleter, Rohrer & Klinger).
Energels are my absolute fave. I buy the refills and put them in more comfortable pens. I had some random Japanese pen that they fit in and it was my perfect pen until I lost it.
i’ve seen so many people rave on about the zebra sarasa pens so i got some and as soon as i clicked the pen i knew it was AMAZING and mine don’t smudge at all 10/10 ✨✨✨✨

Uni-ball Signo DX 0.38 and Uni-ball Signo Ultra Micro 207 - My "go to" pens. Similar to the Pilot G-2, but I find that uniball is a bit smoother. Ink for for Pilot G-2 flows a bit faster - smudges a bit more for the way I write.
anything by pilot is my go-to, right now i have a set of pilot color glitter pens that i use in my school planner, they come in pink, purple, blue, turquoise, and black and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! they dry very quickly, they don’t bleed, i’ve been using the same pens that i got at the beginning of last year so they last really long! i also have a set of pilot erasable highlighters and those are just as amazing (and erasable!!!!)
Sorry for my poor English👩🏻💻 I’m a Japanese high school student. Your video is so easy to understand. I like stationary especially Pentel. I highly recommend you to use Energel !!
I'm lefthanded, and pentel energel pen works best. Doesn't smudge or bleed out and it dries fast. Writes well on almost every kind of paper surface too. Plus the grip is way more comfortable than the pilot g2 (which smudges a LOT and doesn't dry fast). Got into "pen hunting" at some point and I'm glad I've found the perfect pen for me. I've been using pentel energel ever since, it's my holy grail. I have more than enough refills in stock just in case I run out of ink lol. Zebra sarasa clip and pilot v7 pens are great choices too.
I use Pentel Energel 0.4mm. It's cheap, sturdy, pretty cool design, needle-pointed but no cap, which is perfect because I tend to lose them 😅 Used to wear pricy Pilot Hitech but when I drop them, the needle point bends easily and the ink won't come out.
The best pen ive ever used is sarasa 1.0,it lasts long, and when it falls it doesnt stop working. A tip for highlighter is to actually use the highlighter first then use the pen, its pretty complicated but it looks better
I have to say my fav pen so far is the G-2 because thats the best i’ve ever used. I have muji pens arriving soon so I havent tried it. Tho the G-2 over here is super expensive compared to other pens, a pack of 3 is legit €10. 😭
Just curious, but where did you learn to grip a pen like that? I've never seen that type of grip before. Can you do a short where you show us and break down your grip style?
I was hoping the pilot g2 came up because that’s my absolute favorite pen that I have and that I can get locally, it’s also great for long writing periods
Thanks for the suggestion. I've really enjoyed using this Pilot HI-Tec-C 04. It's got "Maica" on it. (I have no idea what that means.) Today, I thought I'd buy the .4 Sarasa. Very excited to use them!
I have the pentel energel 0.5 it is pretty smooth and makes my work so neat ut is also smudge proof However i do find that it runs out pretty fast, idk if it’s just me or if thats how all pens are But i brought a 6 pack in august 2022 i think and they all ran out ( using them one after another) a few weeks ago (early January 2023) I am using my backup other pens rk and is wondering whether to buy the pentel again since there is only 6 and it is about £10 for the pack (of six)
Your handwriting is really beautiful 😍😍 I love to buy some of these pens but obviously I cant find them in our country and if I order online they are expensive too.. Its like 4-5 times higher than local pens.. but I love stationary n love ur video too.. keep on doing such videos 🤩🤩
I know aesthetic is everything but you don't want something to SMUDGE UP WITH YOUR BLACK PEN... instead, I prefer pastel stabilos than the mildliners.. they're still aesthetic (I think)
My very unpopular opinion is I dislike the zebra sarasa pushclip pens. The ink doesn't flow as nice and it's super scratchy. However I do adore the Pentel energel pens they're my favorite and I make everyone try them.
omg i love sarasa black pens because its super smooth and write with it but i only have the normal one so it smudges with the mildliner i NEED that sarasa mark on pen but idk if its available here yet 😔

The first one, i use it all the time and it really works. mildliners smudge a lot so yeah and also u just need to wait a lil before highlighting.

Oh my! I came here looking for smudge less pens because im a left handed and I found them! Thank you so much ❤️

A tip for highlighter is to actually use the highlighter first then use the pen, its pretty complicated but it looks better
can you make another video what’s on your iPad! I love seeing the new theme all the time! It inspires me loads! xx
I suggest Pilot Acroball 0.7!! It doesn't smudge and the ink was smooth too! ♥♥
As a Lettie the only two things that matter for me is that it doesn't smudge and how thick it is.
Favorites: Pilot G-2 0.38 and Pilot Juice Up 0.4
the uniball signo 0.38 is by far the best pen I've been able to write with
I wish I had pretty handwriting like you
but also a tip I have learned is you should highlight first then write.
also, highlight when you finish notes! that way, you can annotate, reread and study your notes once more, _and_ have less smudging
I have to say my fav pen so far is the G-2 because thats the best i’ve ever used. I have muji pens arriving soon so I havent tried it. Tho the G-2 over here is super expensive compared to other pens, a pack of 3 is legit €10. 😭
Just curious, but where did you learn to grip a pen like that? I've never seen that type of grip before. Can you do a short where you show us and break down your grip style?
especially for me or what I recommend
m&g 0.7 (or 0.5) auto k-35 gel pen
I like the uni-ball Powertank
The Uniball eye fine pen is my favorite, remember black pens matter.
It’s 6AM and I’m literally watching reviews for black pens
and i'm also :)
I was hoping the pilot g2 came up because that’s my absolute favorite pen that I have and that I can get locally, it’s also great for long writing periods
SAME
Thanks for the suggestion. I've really enjoyed using this Pilot HI-Tec-C 04. It's got "Maica" on it. (I have no idea what that means.) Today, I thought I'd buy the .4 Sarasa. Very excited to use them!
The best thing, I guess, is to combine the pilot G2 body with the cartridges you (like no smudging ones or those that ore super smooth)
I know nothing about pens but I’m still watching this for some reason
I have a bunch of pilot g2 pens that are soooo good :)
Except I have the 0.75
Mildliners are the worst. The smudge test is irrelevant unless you get real highlighters.
I have the pentel energel 0.5 it is pretty smooth and makes my work so neat ut is also smudge proof
However i do find that it runs out pretty fast, idk if it’s just me or if thats how all pens are
But i brought a 6 pack in august 2022 i think and they all ran out ( using them one after another) a few weeks ago (early January 2023)
I am using my backup other pens rk and is wondering whether to buy the pentel again since there is only 6 and it is about £10 for the pack (of six)
There is an easy way to use any pen with Mildliners to avoid smearing. Lay down the highlighter first. I promise, it works every time!
Super love your handwriting ❤️❤️❤️
Thank u I was looking for the best pens and I do highlights
a lot sooo thank u soooooooooooo much and I love ur videos

And the best blue pens?
Pilot Hi-Tech i like it cause if i use it my handwriting would look clean but it smudges😅
Good choice!
Love watching your video
aw thanks 😁
Hi means please you too do the video of blue pens also please
If you dont lik3 inky types of pens that come out a lot, i recoment onpoint pens :)
Overall, which one is the best?
Great video. I thought I appreciated these pens; you do so even more. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
I always used Pilot 0.4 pen :>
tysm for this video it’s super helpful 💕
I know aesthetic is everything but you don't want something to SMUDGE UP WITH YOUR BLACK PEN...
instead, I prefer pastel stabilos than the mildliners..
they're still aesthetic (I think)
Oil-inks ballpoint pens are better than water-ink gel/roller for highlighting.
Oil-inks are pigmented and permanent inks.
for me i think dong-a's my gel pens are good for mildliners and highlighters they're a little pricey but cheaper than pilot gtecs
Yayyy thanks for helping me decide which pen i should buy hihihi
My very unpopular opinion is I dislike the zebra sarasa pushclip pens. The ink doesn't flow as nice and it's super scratchy. However I do adore the Pentel energel pens they're my favorite and I make everyone try them.
In my opinion the ppl who Like grip pens pilot Hi- tech V 7/5 RT is the best
V5 has a thicker grip
i think the best pen are bln105 and V5RT from piolt from a chinese opinion
hi! not sure you'll see this but the very first Sarasa you mention,, is that the gel ink or the ballpoint? thank you! 🤍

tips for zebra mildliners✔️
1) highlight first: but if you’re like me and hate to do it there’s another way to prevent smudges
2) write all your notes THEN go back and highlight
...typically the pens need like 5 mins to sit before you should highlight them with the mild-liners so there is no smudge...
3) apply LITTLE pressure
...i find that the more pressure you apply or the more times you highlight over the pen the more smears...
4) the pastel pack( orange blue yellow and pink) smears the most in comparison to the pack with (grey blue purple and red)
