Sakura Aqualip Gel Ink Pen - 5 Color Set

These pens are indeed great but be warned... they are the exact same as the Sakura Glaze pens! If you already have the set of 10 Glaze pens, then you already have these pens. Same colors, same tip thickness, everything.

They were probably just marketed under a different name in Japan...

And also, as with the Glaze pens, they write on just about anything... in case you were wondering.

These are really great pens. They dry lifted, with a 3D shape. The ink also flows very freely. Just one caution: don't leave these pens out in the sun. It melts the ink and causes the ink to leak and drip down the ink barrel if you store it vertically with the cap side up.

I still bought this set though. I like using these pens to make titles for different sections of my notes.

The colors are really great, and it's really cool to see the wet look after it dries. And yes, it is a bit hard to tell if they're dry or not whenever you write.

This writes so smooth, almost too smooth. And the writing comes out really slick, as though it never dried. The only down side is that it's hard to tell when the ink DOES dry.

It works well!

Only question is about the price, it sells cheaper in some other retailers.
