It really is quite important to have a pen whose weight and grip suits you. (pg. 176)

as a fountain pen user, i think it’s so fun that Kamome Shirahama puts real tidbits like this in about tools. like it’s true that one pen may work beautifully for one person but may just not agree with another. i can tell that she probably uses a dip pen or a fountain pen to draw the panels and i just love so much that her love for art and her tools flood the story!! it makes the story so fun and passionate and vibrant!!
