The pages are MD Paper, the same paper family as the [Midori MD Diary 2027](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/midori-md-diary-2027/). The Slim is a thin B6 Slim monthly book with 48 pages that weighs about 61 g. ## What sizes does it come in? **Four sizes, from a 5 mm Mini to a 12 mm B6.** Midori's store lists the following. | | Size | Pages | Weight | Tax-included price | |---|---|---|---|---| | Mini (B7) | 124 × 84 × 5 mm | 48 | about 40 g | 814 yen (about US$5.15) | | Slim (B6 Slim) | 175 × 96 × 5 mm | 48 | about 61 g | 880 yen (about US$5.57) | | A6 | 152 × 112 × 10 mm | 128 | about 110 g | 1,540 yen (about US$9.75) | | B6 | 175 × 123 × 12 mm | 192 | about 188 g | 1,870 yen (about US$11.84) | Prices are Japanese prices at 158 yen to the dollar. Our [paper sizes](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/paper-sizes-explained/) guide explains the A and B series. ![Four diary spines side by side showing thickness and weight: Mini and Slim 5 mm, A6 10 mm, B6 12 mm](https://stationerytimes.com/images/midori-pocket-diary-2027-thickness.svg?v=43700e4c) *Thickness and weight by size, using Midori's figures; thickness drawn at 1 mm = 4 px. Original illustration made for this guide. © Stationery Times.* ## What layouts does each size have? **The Mini and Slim are monthly only; the A6 and B6 add a short-range view.** Midori describes the Slim as a monthly block that lets you manage a month across a spread. The A6 pairs that block with a two-week spread, and the B6 pairs it with a weekly layout with the week on the left. ## What is in the Slim's back pages? **An annual calendar, an annual schedule, 11 grid-ruled memo pages, My Memories and a personal page.** Midori says the My Memories page is for the year's events and things that left an impression. Since the 2025 edition it has replaced the subway map. The store also says there are no April-start, September-start or Sunday-start versions planned. ## What covers are there? **The covers are illustrated: dog, cat, bird, country-time flowers and Midori's Ojisan character.** Midori's store lists them across the sizes, and says the bird and flower Slim covers have gold-foil stamping. It describes the dog design as colorful, with a theme of living with dogs. Limited-edition Ojisan Slim covers are listed in grey and orange. ## What is the pen holder for? **Midori says each cover has a pen holder on the inside.** It holds a slim pen so you can write without hunting for one. The covers are PVC, the pages are center-stitched, and the A6 and B6 have far more pages than the 48 of the Slim, which is why they are 10 and 12 mm thick against 5 mm. We haven't tested which pens fit the holder in each size, so check Midori's size figures against your pen. ## Which size should you choose? **Pick the Slim for the thinnest monthly book, and the A6 or B6 for a week or two-week view.** The Mini is the smallest.
