I am a pen enthusiast, though my budget doesn't allow all the shopping I would like. Having traveled to Japan several times, I fell in love with the stationary stores and the excellent pens that you can purchase there that are not usually available in the US. Recently, I came across this pen at a Japanese supermarket. I was immediately impressed with the ink quality. It surpasses some of the other Japanese brands that I have enjoyed.
The price listed here on Amazon is excellent. The list price on the pen I have is 100 yen, so the price listed here is quite comparable.

5.0 out of 5 stars my favoritest pens ever!!, November 19, 2009

I stumbled upon these pens at work. Sadly, the company no longer orders them. So now I'm paying for them out of pocket -- yes, I love them that much! I'm a bit of a pen junkie, and I love how smoothly these pens write. I've never had a problem with them failing before using the last drop of ink in the barrel. No splotches either. For a pen in this price range, that's almost a miracle. Maybe because they are made in Japan? I don't know, but whatever the secret, it definitely works.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality control, January 8, 2011

I recently bought a pack of these, thinking $11.37 was quite a bargain for a dozen Zebra gel-ink pens. I've generally had good experiences with Zebra gel pens in the past, and even with this very product in the past--the flow is not as generous as the Pilot gel pens, so they tend to smear less. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed to find that the click mechanism on most of the barrels was defective. I tossed them, keeping only the refills. Not recommended; buyer beware.

Edit: In retrospect, I am looking over the pens again. The last package I purchased about a year ago contained pens made in Japan. The batch I just received was made in Mexico, barrel, ink refill and all. I suppose that explains the difference. I won't be buying these again.
