About the Sailor Manyo (50ml)
The Sailor Manyo fountain pen ink comes from an abbreviation of the Japanese word "Manyosyu" indicating people of ranks. Manyosyu is often regarded in Japan as a true expression of the Japanese spirit. The themes of the poems relate to celebrations, love, elegies, family matters, nature and so on with flowers being especially relevant. Sailor has therefore chosen colors based on various flowers for the Manyo fountain pen inks.
4 additional ink colors are scheduled for release in June 2022. Each of the 4 new colors will be Dual Shading inks that create incredible depth in writing, calligraphy, and art. Availability of the new dual-shading inks is anticipated for late June/early July 2022.
Sailor Manyo inks are dye-based and come in a large 50ml inkwell style glass bottle. These inks are only available to the Sailor international market and not available in Japan.

Sailor Manyo (50ml) Reviews
Sailor Manyo Ayame is a lovely greenish-grey ink that has tons of shading on TR paper. A new favorite!

I might be biased because I greatly enjoy grey and green and purple, and this dual-shader mixes all those together in a fun way. In general, Sailor Manyo inks may be one of the best ink values out there, and Ayame works great for me - it’s also dark enough to read easily in thinner nibs, which is important to me, as well (my handwriting tends toward the smaller side).

I have the Hinoki, Ayame and Fuji. The colors are beautiful, flow is good, drying time quick. I love these dual shading inks!

I have refilled the pen twice with this Sailor ink and I like the Manyo Kuzu color. I think the standard black ink from Mont Blanc will sit idle for a while.

These are outstanding inks! As someone who has over 100 different inks, I put these inks very close to the top. The colors are beautiful, they shade nicely, some have nice sheen, all seem lubricates and are moderately wet to wet. Haha, Nekoyanagi and Nadeshiko are a little drier than the others, but then they are multishaders with exquisite shading. I have found all of them to have little to no water resistance, but they are easy to clean. I hope they come up with some additional colors in the near future.

I was expecting a brighter green, and was disappointed at first, but it grew on me as I used it for some doodles I do with my letters and cards. One of my favorite inks.

Konagi strikes a sweet spot for me. I like richer, darker blues, that are still work-appropriate. I don't want them to lean purple or green. For me, Iroshizuku Asa-Gao is a bit more purple than I'd like. That's where Konagi comes in with just the right blue with good flow and shading, particularly in medium or larger nibs. Manyo inks are an excellent value, and this is my favorite of the lineup.

Sailor Manyo is a great ink. I like the way it performs on Tomo River paper and it is forgiving on Claire Fontaine on lesser quality papers.
