I was tempted to use this like a notebook by itself. Ruled lines on one side, but enough to make mini entries or a substantial list. Left side is glue-bound for easy tearing, and the way this little pad is bound really is like a small notebook (but you may struggle to write on the blank sides -- a place for stickers, maybe?). Magnetic closure, holds up very well. Cover is solid, you won't damage this too easily unless you're careless. Romaji writing on the back and in the lower-right corners, planets and galaxy-style design with sandglasses. Two page designs, the second design is halfway in. Both designs have that sweet, cheery, yet melancholic mood and feel that is common to Sentimental Circus stationery. Enjoy!
