Dream like
Excellent pen. Writes like a dream and if you get the right things it is refillable aka a converter or if you are confident a syringe. Fits comfortably in hand. Dries exceptionally quickly. Doesn't bleed through pages. And yes it does feel plastically but its not overwhelming

beginner friendly, thin writing, comfortable to write!
I genuinely love this fountain pen. it’s true that it’s beginner friendly. very comfortable to write with. personally i love how it writes so thin and effortless. i no longer mind the cost because it is both great and affordable for the quality it gives out when writing. literally i have no regrets. recommend to anyone who’s a beginner and like to write with thin pens. i also hear you can use a converter such as CON-40 or CON-70. absolutely love it!

Great
Good pen. I guess. I bought it to send my daughter in Philippines because she loves these pens. She said it's a great pen, so i suggest you all trust her on that one.

The product itself is very good! I love Pilot Kokuno Fountain Pen. Ink glides smoothly. I gave only 3 stars, however, because the pen came to me already opened and ink cartridge already plugged-in the pen! did I buy a second-hand pen??? Quesrionable seller, in my opinion..

Speedy delivery . The pen is very reasonably priced and I am thrilled with how well it writes - I bought the extra fine and it is really smooth and fine, not scratchy. Very pleased with this purchase

Beautiful pen. Writes very smooth despite how thin of a line it produces. I would definitely recommend this to artists who are looking to produce fine lines. The grip section places your hand in a pretty comfortable position. Worth the price because it is the best in its segment. I keep looking at the pen admiring its build lol.

love love but also meh. Incredible value and beautiful stuff. but the nib is indeed very scratchy. It can really become difficult to use if you do not have the right paper. this nib really must have smooth paper and a very nicely flowing ink. then its an absolute joy. And i did put this extra fine nib in the pilot and thats a really fun experience and just a beautiful piece to carry around and use. but when you write on some paper with just barely too much tooth or its kind of old paper or its been shuffled around a whole lot, this nib struggles and becomes too annoying to use. For journaling, this nib is absolutely lovely. The pen itself - the clear barrel - its fine for what it is. it is exactly what you think it will be and it does that perfectly fine.

Très agréable à utiliser pour le dessin. La plume extra-fine accroche un peu au début, ça dépend sans doute aussi du type de papier, mais elle s'adoucit (ou je m'habitue !) assez vite. Ce stylo japonais demande des cartouches et convertisseur spéciaux, pas au format standard international, mais ils se trouvent aisément en ligne. Sa forme est particulièrement confortable et permet une tenue souple et sûre, elle convient aussi aux débutants. Le corps transparent permet de vérifier le niveau d'encre. J'aimerais en utiliser d'autres de la même série mais leur prix peut être prohibitif, dû sans doute en partie à l'importation, car ils sont plus modiques sur amazon.co.jp. Mais dans ce cas il faut prévoir les frais de port et de douane, donc... NB, je l'ai découvert par une démonstration de l'artiste chinoise ZeldaCW <3.
