Ink Review #575: Sailor Manyo Shirakashi

Today I will be reviewing Sailor Manyo Shirakashi, which is a beautiful khaki-olive.

Swabs:

This ink had high shading and low red sheen. It’s a gorgeous medium olive and the warm tones are accented by the subtle sheen.

This ink had medium flow and saturation.

Overall: This is absolutely, 100% my favorite color out of the Manyo Series. I’m not one to go for green inks but I wrote 2.5 pages with my sample (and used the rest for my Pilot 823). The green is dark enough to use in the office and class.
