yes a lot of people are very excited with the new Hobonichi 2017 line up and you got a lot of people searching for one in Hong Kong, and no, you won't get one here from retail. The best chance you would get from retail anywhere near Hong Kong is Taiwan, and even there you won't see anything popping up until mid September.
So just sit back and relax and go to it's official website fora good look, or their ever updating Facebook page and admire the line up in 2D.
By the way, Hobonichi is a fountain pen friendly (and light watercolor too) daily journal, some people use it as a planner too. Best feature about it is the VERY very large collection of covers, expensive covers, that it could fit in.
in case you are tossing between Midori and Hobonichi:
- if you want something to sit at home and wait for you to write or, get Hobonichi. If you stuff too many stuff into it the cover won't close properly as the pen loop won't line up.
- if you want something to travel around with you, get Midori, cause chances are you will stuff a lot of tiny bits of paper into it and the rubber band could held it together nicely. (or get plastic zip lock insert, of course).
- yes there is 'travellers' cover designed for use with Hobonichi, good luck trying to lay it flat on the table and start writing. It won't work, it's like trying to change a hamburger into a sandwich, don't get greedy!
