Sailor Manyo Fuji - Ink Sample

Light, but smoky purple color.

Lovely color but

I do love these muted shades from Sailor. But, I find them to be very dry. When I pair the ink with a thirsty stub nib, I find there just isn't enuf flow to make a dark enuf mark to see anything beyond pale. And there isn't any shading because it's just too dry. I know it isn't the pen nib because this same nib can easily deliver tons of inks like a noodler's or monteverde. But, they are pretty colors for sure! YMMV?

Shading madness

Nice purple color with shading blue and green. It is a safe purchase to try chromashading inks because the ink is more darker than other sailor shading inks.
