SmoothMelon SorbetWeeks Softcover Book / Weekly Horizontal / ENG or JPN edition / Jan start / Mon start

  • 2026 New

Smooth is a series of Weeks that is characterised by their unique colors and the puffy texture of their soft covers, which sit comfortably in your hand.



The pale pastel green Melon Sorbet comes in a delicious-looking color reminiscent of melon-flavored ice cream. With its refreshing look, it promises to brighten your spirits just by holding it. The year 2026 comes in a metallic green.



The cover is made out of a soft material that you can grip tightly and bend. The pages are easy to turn, and this techo won’t get in the way even if you put it in your clothes’ pocket, making it the perfect Weeks for carrying around casually and on the go.









As it is made out of a soft material, opening it up flatly requires light pressure.









The two layers of PU material used for the cover give it a good amount of thickness and makes it durable.





When you order this Hobonichi Techo Weeks, you’ll receive a clear, adhesive corner pocket you can stick anywhere you like.









The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. It's characterized by its ability to hold ink well and provide a smooth writing experience.









The Weeks book has space for writing in plans or journal entries, and it also has 71 pages of grid paper memo pages in the back (75 pages in the English edition). The back of the book contains bonus pages, including Memories 2026 and 12 Switches to Help You Focus.









If you’d like storage space or a way to change up the look of your Weeks book, you can customize your book by pairing it with a Weeks cover.

Please Read Before You Buy

We’ve compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Additionally, the color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.

Press marks or shines may appear on the corners

You may notice press marks, slight whitening, or a glossy finish on the corners of the front and back covers. These are unavoidable results of the binding process.

Color transfer may occur due to friction, pressure, or moisture

Color may transfer to other items through friction or prolonged contact. This risk increases when the cover is exposed to water or sweat, so please take extra care when carrying it near clothing or other belongings.

About the paper used (techo)

The Tomoe River paper designed for planners is known for its thinness and smooth writing surface. However, depending on the type and amount of ink or pen used—as well as environmental conditions—some ink may bleed through or take longer to dry. We recommend testing your pens on an inconspicuous area first, or using a pencil board or blotting paper for best results.
