This was a lovely lavender purple with an average to dry flow. The ink was well-behaved like other Sailor inks, and flowed quite smoothly. I loved the multi-shading aspect though the color itself is quite light (and best suited for journaling or art).

Overall: This is my favorite ink out of the Manyo series: it is a soft purple with great shading and flow.
