STALOGY's product page for the Editor's Series doesn't name a country of manufacture, and Yoseka's listing doesn't either. Our 365 Days guide records Japan for that sibling from Amazon Japan and Galen Leather, but we haven't found the same for the 1/2 Year. ### STALOGY Editor's Series 1/2 Year Notebook Grid (A6 S4115, B6 S4123, A5 S4108 to S4111) colors - Body colors (4 standard, 0 special edition): Black (A5 S4108, A6 S4115, B6 S4123); Red (A5 S4109); Blue (A5 S4110); Yellow (A5 S4111). - Per STALOGY Japan (https://stalogy.com/products/018/), checked 2026-11-02. STALOGY's Japanese lineup table lists the A5 1/2 Year Notebook in four colors (S4108 to S4111) and the A6 and B6 in black only (S4115, S4123). Each tint is the hex chip STALOGY shows beside the product name, not a measured color. Yoseka also sells the B6 in red, blue and yellow, which STALOGY's table doesn't list. Shops stock different colors; check the listing. ## Key takeaways - Stalogy lists the 1/2 Year Notebook at 96 sheets, 192 pages, against 184 sheets, 368 pages, for the 365 Days. - Stalogy Japan sells it in A6 at ¥1,705 (about US$11), B6 at ¥2,024 (about US$13) and A5 at ¥2,123 (about US$13), with tax. - Stalogy lists the A5 in four cover colors: black, red, blue and yellow; the A6 and B6 appear only in black on its lineup table. - Yoseka sells the B6 in red, blue and yellow, colors Stalogy's own table doesn't list for that size, and says it has a 5 mm grid and hours 7 to 23. - Stalogy publishes no paper weight, thickness or weight for the 1/2 Year Notebook. ## What is the Stalogy 1/2 Year Notebook? **It is the slim version of Stalogy's Editor's Series notebook, with half the pages of the 365 Days.** Stalogy's Japanese page lists both together: 368 pages for the 365 Days and 192 for the 1/2 Year. Each page carries only a few light elements: month, day and date at the top, an hour column down the side and a thin gray grid. Stalogy says it was designed for editors, who use a notebook for ideas, interview notes and schedules. Our [Stalogy 365 Days guide](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/stalogy-365-days-notebook/) covers the thick one. ## Stalogy 1/2 Year Notebook specs | Spec | Value | |---|---| | Brand | STALOGY (Japan) | | Pages | 192 (96 sheets) | | Sizes | A6 105 × 148 mm (4.1 × 5.8 in); B6 128 × 182 mm (5.0 × 7.2 in); A5 148 × 210 mm (5.8 × 8.3 in) | | Page layout | Thin gray grid (5 mm on the B6, per Yoseka), date marks, hour column | | Colors | A5: black, red, blue, yellow; A6 and B6: black (Stalogy's table) | | Paper weight, thickness, weight | Not stated | | Japan price with tax | A6 ¥1,705 (about US$11); B6 ¥2,024 (about US$13); A5 ¥2,123 (about US$13) | Stalogy prints the A5 as "210 mm × 148 mm" on its page; we write it portrait, as in our 365 Days guide. We found no paper weight for this notebook; the 52 g/m² figure in our other guide belongs to the 365 Days. ## What are the hour marks and dates? **The hour column runs 7 to 23 on the B6, 8 to 21 on the A6 and 0 to 24 on the A5.** Stalogy gives those timelines in its Editor's Series description, written for the 365 Days, and Yoseka's listing confirms 7 to 23 for the B6 1/2 Year. ![One B6 page drawn at 1 mm = 2 px with a 5 mm grid and an hour column from 7 to 23 down the left](https://stationerytimes.com/images/stalogy-editors-series-half-year-notebook-page-hours.svg?v=d33a6f72) *A B6 page with its hour column, drawn at 1 mm = 2 px (tick positions by eye). Original illustration made for this guide. © Stationery Times.* Nothing is pre-dated, so you write the date or start on any day, as with the 365 Days. Our [Hobonichi Techo Original guide](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/hobonichi-techo-original/) covers a pre-dated page-a-day book. ## How does it compare with the 365 Days? **Same layout, half the pages and a lower price.** Stalogy gives these figures on its page. | | 1/2 Year | [365 Days](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/stalogy-365-days-notebook/) | |---|---|---| | Pages | 192 (96 sheets) | 368 (184 sheets) | | Sizes | A6, B6, A5 | A6, B6, A5, B5 | | A5 price with tax | ¥2,123 (about US$13) | ¥2,937 (about US$19) | | B6 price with tax | ¥2,024 (about US$13) | ¥2,816 (about US$18) | Stalogy's page says the 365 Days won a design prize at the 23rd Japan Stationery Awards. It doesn't claim the award for the 1/2 Year. ## What colors does it come in? **Stalogy's table lists four A5 colors (black, red, blue, yellow) and black only for the A6 and B6.** Yoseka sells the B6 in red, blue and yellow, which Stalogy's table doesn't show for that size. We can't settle this conflict. Yoseka's blue B6 carries the code S4125, which isn't in Stalogy's current lineup, so it may be older or Yoseka-specific stock. Yoseka's text describes a flexible cover with gold detailing on the left side, and its photos show a yellow belly band around the red, blue and yellow B6 books. ## How much does it cost? **¥1,705 (about US$11) for the A6 to ¥2,123 (about US$13) for the A5 in Japan, with tax.** Yoseka listed the B6 at US$18 on November 2, 2026, which falls in our $$ band ($5–20) and is about US$5 over the Japanese price. ## Who is the Stalogy 1/2 Year Notebook for? **It suits people who like the 365 Days layout but fill a book in six months.** At 192 pages it is the lighter, cheaper option in the Editor's Series. Skip it if you want a full year in one book: see the [365 Days](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/stalogy-365-days-notebook/), or the [Stalogy 016](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/stalogy-016-notebook/) for softer paper covers and thicker paper. ## Where is it made? **Stalogy doesn't say for this notebook.** Its page and Yoseka's give no country, so we leave the origin as not stated. ## Frequently asked questions ### How many pages does the Stalogy 1/2 Year Notebook have? 192 pages, which Stalogy counts as 96 sheets.
