Size: I have been writing in a journal for a long time. My last - almost filled journal was about the size of a Moleskine Classic about 7.6” x 10” and that sucker was too big. I would be intimidated by the size of the pages: all those empty lines, you know? Sometimes I would just say the hell with it and do something else. I wanted something smaller and after looking around I decided on A5. The Apica fit the bill, and it as a great feature for me. Each page is divided horizontally in the middle by a slightly heavier line. Half an A5 page is not intimidating at all. It is inviting. Binding: I’m cheap so most of my older journals didn’t have the greatest binding. The binding on the Apica is perfect for me. Very, very plain, with just card stock for the covers. The only thing on the cover is embossing about the size of a small postage stamp that says MD Paper Made in Japan. It is not colored and I didn’t see it until the light caught it just right. Inside the cover is a lighter card stock with two blank lines to write whatever you want. The notebook is constructed with a good many signatures. Something that looks like cheese cloth is glued to the covers by about half an inch on one and wraps around the spine. Then it is about the same on the back. It seems very solid. This sucker will stay open on the first page! I think it is a minimalist, clean design. Besides, I had rather they put money into the construction of the notebook rather than PU Leather (smell that?) and fancy lettering on the cover. Besides, I’m going to put it into a cover, like this one. https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B00BBNNYF8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There is no pocket in the back. The pockets and cover will be taken care of the notebook cover just mentioned. Paper: The paper is not smooth like a Rhodia notebook or Tomoe River paper. It has some small amount of resistance. On the plus side it does not bleed through at all, and only has a slight show through with some inks. AND if you have touched it somewhere, your pen will still write on the page. The paper has a slight cream colored tint, and the lines are 7mm and faint. As I mentioned, the center line is bolder, but not bold as such. It really isn’t bold, just slightly darker in color. I love this feature. Writing: I tested a number of fountain pens, some with very wet inks and there is absolutely no bleed through with the inks and pens I tested. I also tested five or six different gel pens, and they all wrote very well with no skipping. Even the skip prone G2 I tried wrote like a champ. One thing thogh. The lines I wrote with a fountain pen are thinner than on any other paper I use. Your medium point becomes finer. The ink is a bit slow to dry, but I can live with that. Over all, I think it is a great notebook for the price. The money went into the binding and paper. I plan to keep buying these. Review: Great notebook - It’s compact and minimal no bleed with a fountain pen all around great pen I intend to get more . Feels smooth to write on good paper thickness kind of medium thickness. Pretty sturdy cover as well. Was originally looking at Rhodia but couldn’t justify the price the paper is excellent on this and is really reasonably priced. ## Features - midori brand - The quality of the paper is good - Writing comfort is the highest ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003CT47ZU | | Best Sellers Rank | #30,919 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #2 in Stationery Notepads | | Binding | Office Product | | Brand Name | Midori | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,575) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04902805138048 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 8.27"L x 5.83"W | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 8.27"L x 5.83"W x 0.39"Th | | Manufacturer | ミドリ(MIDORI) | | Number of Items | 1 | | Paper Size | A5 | | Pattern | Single Item | | Ruling Type | Ruled | | Special Features | Soft Cover | | Style | Ruled | | Theme | Book | | UPC | 787766106879 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Midori - **Color:** White - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Pattern:** Single Item - **Product Dimensions:** 8.27"L x 5.83"W x 0.39"Th - **Ruling Type:** Ruled - **Sheet Size:** A5 - **Special Feature:** Soft Cover - **Style:** Ruled - **Theme:** Book ## Images ![Midori MD Note Horizontal Ruled line - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/515ZXAp3IWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Notebook *by T***S on November 13, 2017* Apica MD notebook lined A5.

Feels smooth to write on good paper thickness kind of medium thickness. Pretty sturdy cover as well. Was originally looking at Rhodia but couldn’t justify the price the paper is excellent on this and is really reasonably priced. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite for fountain pens *by R***M on January 2, 2026* This is good paper for fountain pens. Takes the ink well without spreading or feathering, with all the pens and inks I’ve tried. 7mm ruling is perfect for me, better than the 6mm on some notebooks. Comes with card stock covers and very basic binding, but it’s durable and pages lay flat. Excellent for use in an A5 size journal cover. I like this better than Rhodia, Tomoe River, or leVent paper. ## Frequently Bought Together - Midori MD Note Horizontal Ruled line - [Midori] MD series notebook jacket A5 H220~W310mm made of light and stout paper - Midori 15003006 MD Notebook, A5, Grid Ruled --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/17646199-midori-md-note-horizontal-ruled-line](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/17646199-midori-md-note-horizontal-ruled-line) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
