1. Double Ring Green Note (B5 430 yen / A5 390 yen / others; tax not included)

Manufacturer: Ax Corporation
Manufacturer: Ax Corporation

As its name suggests the Double Ring Green Note is a notebook that has green paper. In response to the postings on SNS saying, "I am hypersensitive so I don't want to use white notebooks because the light reflection hurts my eyes," the decision was made to offer these in Lofts throughout the country.

There are four sizes: B5 (430 yen), A5 (390 yen), B7 (260 yen), and A7 (200 yen) (excluding tax). They have a wide range of uses from jotting down memos to use in businesses. Green Note, which reduces light reflection, is easy on the eyes and is popular among both men and women, and young and old alike.

2. King Jim Pi Note (A5 380 yen, excluding tax)

The King Jim Pi Note looks like a normal notebook at first glance, but if you look closely, the ruled lines are the numerical representation of Pi (3.141592 ...), making this quite a unique notebook. Originally it was a King Jim project inspired by Pi Day (March 14) that was scrubbed, but when Loft learned about it on SNS it proposed commercializing it, and now it is a popular product available only at Loft.

In addition, series with ruled lines using the characters of names of municipalities, a poem card game, countries, and the like have been created and are on sale throughout Japan. Using one of these notebooks every day would probably help you to remember the number Pi as well as the name of various municipalities!
