Both the ruled and plain notebooks have 100 g/m² paper and include themed stickers and a greeting card, also with original artwork.

Momoko Sakura is the creative genius behind the incredibly popular manga Chibi Maruko-Chan. Based on Momoko’s childhood, this heartwarming and often moving series portrays the experiences of 3rd grader Maruko together with her friends and family. To date, over 32.5 million manga, including a digital version, have been published, while the animation has been shown all over the world. Three generations of Japanese and Asians have grown up watching, reading, and living with Chibi Maruko-Chan over the last 35 years.

This Sakura Gift Set is part of the Moleskine 2024 Asian Collection. The collection unites three contemporary creatives from three diverse countries in a celebration of Eastern traditions: Japanese manga creator Momoko Sakura, Chinese artist Zeng Fanzhi, and South Korean typographic designer Ahn Sang Soo.
