Uni-BallZento Gel Ink Rollerball Pens, 2 Black Medium Point Smooth Writing Pens, Colored Japanese Pens, Boho Colors

I absolutely love these pens—they’re a fantastic value and genuinely enjoyable to write with. The barrel has a soft, almost velvety texture that adds a subtle grip and gives the pen a more luxurious feel compared to standard plastic. The coral and white colors are creamy and elegant, and the design looks great sitting on a desk. The clip is cute and seems functional, though I haven’t tested it much yet.The ink performance is impressive: it dries quickly with little to no smearing, even when highlighted—especially if you give it a moment or continue writing and highlight after. The writing experience is smooth but not overly slick. I’d say they glide more easily than a BIC Cristal or some Uniball pens, but they’re not as slippery as G2 Bold or Glide pens, which can sometimes feel too loose. These strike a perfect balance.They lay down just the right amount of ink—not too wet or dry—and the tip never scratches the paper. Every line is clean and consistent. While I’d love to see a bolder version offered, this one suits me perfectly for everyday writing.Honestly, these remind me of the cute pens you find at HomeGoods or TJ Maxx, but with actual quality behind the looks. I’ve even had people compliment how they write after borrowing one!Highly recommend if you want something functional, affordable, and stylish.

These might be my new favorite pens. They write extremely smooth, no smudging, comfortable to hold, modern design, reasonable price... I love them. Now I just need to find a way to get my hands on the Zento Signature.

I love trying different pens and saw these in a report on the 2025 Japanese Stationery Awards. They’re a real winner! Smoothest writing with no smearing. My new everyday go-to pen.

These are great pens. Like the feel of them.

My new favorite pens. They are extremely smooth. The ink flow is nice and the color of the pen body is nice.

Nice bold color. My error when ordering, should have ordered at 0.5. But great pen. No skipping and comfortable for writing.

Writes beautifully! Perfect for every day!

I got caught up in the hype on YouTube about the Zento pens and ended up buying the "disposable" ones, only to find out that refills are indeed available! I'm excited to share that the .38 refills work really well and compete with the output you'd expect from a typical micron fine liner. Unlike the stock .7 refills that these pens come with, switching to the .38 transforms the pen into something entirely different. It combines the durability of a ballpoint with the precision of a fine liner.Overall, I've been impressed with the Zento line, especially because of its smear-resistant qualities. As an avid journaler who goes through hundreds of pages each year, I've often struggled with messy pages due to my sweaty palms. However, with the Zento line, I can enjoy inky lines without any smudging, and now I can do so with greater precision. As of now, these refills are hard to find in the States, but Amazon still offers them, albeit with delayed shipping. Overall, the wait is definitely worth it!
