﻿We know that you love Korean and Japanese stationery as much as we do.
But sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s actually better for your needs.
(Whispers) It's all of them.
We chose four different categories and selected the cutest pens, stickers, and more to answer that question once and for all.

Double-Sided Markers:
Kokuyo Mark+ 2 Way Color Marker Pens vs. Iconic 2 Way Marker Pens
The Kokuyo Mark+ Color Type 2 Way Marker Pen isn’t just dual-sided, it’s dual-color!
The fineliner end is a vibrant color, while the highlighter end is a muted version of the same hue.
It’s especially handy for people who really like color-coding.
Let’s compare it to the Iconic 2 Way Marker Pen, which happens to be one of our favorite double-sided markers.
It looks humble, but the ink performs remarkably well with all kinds of gel pens.
The chisel tip is a little smaller than the ones found on other highlighters,
so it works really well in notebooks with small grids.
So which one’s better? In terms of performance, the Mark+ and Iconic both work really well.
They don’t show or bleed through Kokuyo Campus Sarasara paper.
The Iconic smeared fewer gel pens, but any smudging that occurred with the Mark+ was still pretty mild.
The Iconic’s chisel tip is a little smaller, but the fineliner tips are about the same size.
Unfortunately, the Iconic markers only come in sets,
so you won’t be able to pick and choose colors.
The Kokuyo Mark+ are a little more expensive, but they come individually and in a set.
We think the Mark+ are perfect for people who love color-coding,
while the Iconic are great for those who have small handwriting or who really can’t stand any smudging.
Page Flags:
Beverly Cocosasu Page Markers vs. Iconic Index Sticky Notes
Page flags feature adhesive on only one side, allowing you to stick them in your books or planner pages.
Keep a little bit peeking through so you can easily flip to the page you need!
The Beverly Cocosasu Page Marker takes it one step further with a perforated pointer that you leave on the exact spot you want,
while the rest of the flag stays near the edge. Genius right?
Not to mention all of the cute animal and arrow designs–there’s even a bread-themed one!
The adhesive is sticky but won’t leave residue if you need to move it around.
Iconic’s Index Sticky Note is another cute choice,
featuring page flags of different geometric shapes, colors, and sizes.
How fun is this hamburger?
The adhesive isn’t as strong as the Cocosasu, so we wouldn’t reuse it too much.
We like that it comes with more designs per pack than the Cocosasu–
it has a more sophisticated feel too since it’s blank.
The verdict? We recommend students or readers to use the Cocosasu–
it conveniently pinpoints the spot you need.
On the other hand, the Iconic page flags are great for sorting or organizing.
Their chic, color-coordinated designs make it easy to group papers or chapters.
Stickers
Midori Planner Stickers vs. Dailylike Diary Removable Stickers
The Midori Planner Stickers come in two versions:
the Standard stickers will stay exactly where you put them,
while the Removable stickers can be moved in case your plans change.
They fit well in A6 planners, like the Hobonichi Techo.
How charming are these Dailylike Diary Removable Stickers?
A lot of them feature the same cast of characters—like this rabbit, poodle, and koala—
so they feel cohesive if you use multiple sheets together.
The stickers are also bigger than the Midori ones, so they’re a better fit for the larger calendars in A5 planners.
Because the Dailylike stickers are bigger, it’s a lot easier to get a good grip on them to peel them off the page.
For the Midori ones, you might need to crease the page a little. A pair of tweezers is also really helpful.
However, both of the stickers are easy to move around.
This one’s a close call, but we’ll give the upper hand to Dailylike.
The stickers are the perfect size for the A5 planners and journals we like to use!
If you want a wider variety of designs to choose from, go for the Midori Planner Stickers.
Washi Tapes:
Mark's Maste Date & Title Washi Tapes vs. Livework Washi Tapes
Finally, let’s take a look at some planner washi tapes!
The Mark’s Maste tapes come in two versions: Date and Title.
Some of the tapes have coordinating designs, so you can match them!
For example, the Brush Paint tapes come in both styles.
All of the tapes are perforated between each design, so you can tear them off easily.
The Livework Number, Date, Blank, Month, and Weather Washi Tapes are a great addition to your DIY planner.
You can create calendars, label spreads, track the weather, and more.
The tapes aren’t perforated, so you’ll want to use something like the Kokuyo Karucut
or a pair of scissors to get a clean cut between the designs.
The Mark’s washi tape designs are just so nice that it’s hard not to pick them.
Notably cute ones are the Hand Drawing and Scandinavian ones.
But if you prefer a more retro aesthetic, the Livework ones are perfect.
