Choosing fountain pen paper & notebooks means balancing a page that suits ink with a format you will actually use. A fountain pen friendly notebook can put the ink question first, while a fountain pen journal may draw you toward named paper, a larger stated page count, or a flat-opening design. Here, the A5 Blue Lined Notebook 100 Pages Fountain Pen Friendly 8.3 x 5.8 Inches and the NWT A6 Lined Notebook 384 Pages Tomoe River Nanami Paper Writing Journal take different routes. The useful decision is whether you want direct fountain-pen language and a lower listed price, or a journal centered on Tomoe River paper and more pages.
Quick verdict
The Blue Lined Notebook is the notebook-focused choice, while the Nanami Journal is the journal-oriented alternative. The first emphasizes a fountain-pen-specific purpose; the second emphasizes named paper and a flat-opening design. Pick according to whether your priority is straightforward fountain-pen use or the journal format itself.

Where each product wins
- Blue Lined Notebook: It wins for shoppers who want a direct fountain-pen cue. The title calls it Fountain Pen Friendly, and its original L-writing paper is paired with a claim that fountain pen ink does not bleed or bleed through. That gives it a clear role as writing paper for fountain pens.
- Nanami Journal: It wins for shoppers who prioritize named paper and a flat opening. Tomoe River Paper is identified as the material, and it opens flat at 180 degrees. The writing-journal title reinforces that paper-and-journal identity, making those attributes central to the choice.
Product notes
Blue Lined Notebook
The A5 Blue Lined Notebook suits a shopper who wants a clearly specified ruled setup. Its blue cover, lined pages, 8 mm horizontal rule, and 23-line layout give it a concrete reason to choose for organized everyday writing. It also uses original L-writing paper with a smooth writing experience. The limitation is the listed 100-page count, so it is the shorter-page choice beside Nanami's 384-page journal. Choose it when the blue, ruled presentation fits your desk; the trade-off is simply less page volume than the rival.
Nanami Journal
The NWT A6 Lined Notebook 384 Pages Tomoe River Nanami Paper Writing Journal has a clearly specified presentation: beige color, Japanese language, and made in Japan. Those details give it a concrete reason to choose if that look and origin fit your journal setup. Its lined journal identity also makes the intended format easy to understand. The limitation is concrete too: the listed cover color is beige, so shoppers with a different color brief may prefer the blue-covered rival. Choose Nanami when the Japan-made, Japanese-language presentation matters.
Final choice by use case
For a lower listed-price purchase, choose the Blue Lined Notebook at $21.09. For the journal purchase at $24.99, choose the Nanami Journal. The absolute spread is $3.90. If the lower price settles the decision, the Blue Lined Notebook is the clear pick; if $3.90 more fits the journal format named in the title, choose Nanami. Both are lined, so the deciding use-case distinction is notebook simplicity versus a paper-named journal.
