The Hobonichi Techo Weeks Mega contains around three times the number of grid-lined memo pages as the standard Weeks, providing even more writing space. There are 215 pages (219 in the English version) of grid paper, giving you the freedom to keep writing and pasting materials into it as you see fit.



The techo weighs 170 g (5.9 oz), only 36 g (1.2 oz) more than the standard Weeks, and with a thickness of 13 mm (0.5 in), it’s only 3 mm (0.1 in) thicker. Other than these two details, the Mega has the same specifications as the standard Colors Weeks.









The Sneaker series perfectly captures the charm of the Weeks Mega, which you can take out casually and fill with all the writing your heart desires.



Since the soft cover is made from paper, you can grip it tightly and even bend it slightly. The pages are easy to turn, and it’s the perfect item to keep in your clothes’ pocket for those quick notes you want to take on the go.



Mandarin Orange is a techo wrapped in the color of an orange that’s soaking up the sun — a shade that puts you in a positive mood. On the cover, the year 2027 and the Mega logo are printed in a puffy, handwritten script.



The Mega logo on the front of the cover and the Hobonichi logo on the back are both handwritten. This typography is one of the features that captures the casual, easygoing spirit of the Sneaker.









Instead of attached bookmarks, the Sneaker series comes with a set of reusable, clear sticky notes. Use them to mark the current week’s pages, important anniversaries, or the many memo pages; simply stick them onto any page you like.









The Hobonichi Techo Weeks Mega comes with a clear, adhesive corner pocket you can stick anywhere you like.









The pages are made of thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper that holds ink well, providing a smooth writing experience.





















The back of the book contains bonus pages. Both the Japanese and English editions feature standard favorites like My 100 and the 365 Days Check-Off Sheet, as well as new additions like Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block and the Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map, among others.





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.

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.
