What are Ohuhu Maui markers?
They’re Ohuhu’s water-based dual-tip markers: a soft brush at one end and a 0.4 mm fineliner at the other. Ohuhu sells them in sets from 36 to 160 colors, each marker numbered so you can find a color quickly.
Maui is Ohuhu’s water-based line. Its better-known Ohuhu Honolulu markers use alcohol ink, which blends wet-into-wet but smells and bleeds through most paper.

Not stated
The tip widths come from Ohuhu’s Amazon listing. Ohuhu doesn’t publish a single marker’s length, so our cover is drawn in proportion.
The two tips at 1 mm = 20 px: the fineliner stays at 0.4 mm; the brush swings from 1 to 6 mm.
Maui or Honolulu: which Ohuhu set?
Choose Maui for coloring books, journals and watercolor effects; choose Honolulu for marker illustration with smooth, streak-free blends. Ohuhu says the Maui’s water-based ink is easier to wash and clean up than alcohol-based ink, and it’s odorless.
Water-based ink sits on the paper and can be reactivated with water, so it blends by washing rather than by layering wet ink. Alcohol ink, as in the Honolulu, soaks in and blends while wet, but it usually calls for marker paper, since it tends to bleed through ordinary paper.
Ohuhu numbers every Maui color and includes a swatch card, which helps when a set runs past 100 colors. The 60-color Amazon listing names doodling, sketching, coloring, manga, calligraphy and calendars as uses.
How do the two tips differ?
The brush varies its stroke with pressure, while the fineliner draws one steady 0.4 mm line. Doodlewash’s review of the 160-color set found the brush slightly flexible and the fineliner rigid, which suits outlines and small writing.
The brush is softer than a lettering pen such as the Tombow Fudenosuke, so thin upstrokes take a light hand.
How do you blend them?
Lay down two similar colors, then pull them together with a water brush. Ohuhu suggests an aqua brush (not included) and heavy watercolor paper, which keeps the surface from scratching or peeling when wet.
Ohuhu also warns that thin paper such as notebook pages may bleed. Mixed-media paper is a good middle ground for coloring books you make yourself.
Which set should you buy?
Start with the 36- or 60-color set; the 120 and 160 add more mid-tones for blending. The 36-color skin-tone set is a useful add-on for portraits and character art.
Per marker, every set falls in our $ band (under $5). Ohuhu doesn’t sell refill ink for Maui on the pages we checked, so replacement tips are the only way to extend a marker’s life.
How does Maui compare with other brush markers?
Maui is the budget pick for many colors; Tombow and Kuretake cost more per pen but sell open stock.
Ohuhu doesn’t say. Its US company is Ohuhu Inc. in Newark, California, per its imprint page, but neither its store nor its Amazon listing states the Maui’s country of manufacture, so check the box.
