Hobonichi Weeks MEGA 2027 (English): Sneaker

The Weeks MEGA is the standard Weeks with about three times the grid memo paper: 219 memo pages in the English edition against 75, for 384 pages in total. It costs almost nothing to carry for that, 13 mm thick against 11 and 170 g against 134, so it suits anyone who ran out of room in an ordinary Weeks by August. Everything else, the weekly spread and the paper, is unchanged. Sneaker is the MEGA's own series, and it is deliberately casual: a paper softcover you can grip and bend, pages that turn easily, and a book meant to be pulled out of a pocket rather than set on a desk.

The year and the Mega logo are printed on the front in a puffy handwritten script, and the Hobonichi logo on the back is handwritten too, which is most of where the series gets its character. Instead of sewn-in bookmarks it ships with reusable clear sticky notes, so you mark the current week, an anniversary or a page deep in the memo section and move them as you go. Lime Green is a fresh, sporty yellow-green; Mandarin Orange is a warm, sun-soaked orange.
