I had been curious about the Pilot inks for a while and I bought this color in combination with Tsuki-Yo.
Color: purple/pink.
Drying time: the ink is a bit wetter than the two other inks I use in this pen (Waterman Mysterious Blue and Akkerman Passage Blue). As a result, the ink writes very smoothly, but the drying time seems to be slightly longer. I tested this on standard office paper and Rhodia 80GSM paper.
Shading: none
Sheen: none at writing
Flow: very good
A nice color that is fairly easy to read. In practice, the ink turns out to be just a bit brighter and pinker than the example on the website and is therefore not really office-friendly in my opinion. Comes in a small but attractive bottle.

A very pleasant color that is easy to read. The ink is certainly office-friendly but still has a character of its own. Comes in a small but attractive bottle.
I‘m an blue ink guy, therefore bought kon-peki and asa-gao. Both are amazing colors. What a brilliance! Awesome. And both have a nice wet flow with short dry times. And kon-peki is a magic ink. I use it in a pen, that has some ink flow issues, hard starts and skips and runs dry shortly. I tried several inks on this pen, none works well. But with kon-peki there are no issues at all. It’s magic! I‘m very happy and satisfied.
Een kleur die je niet elke dag tegenkomt. De inkt vloeit goed en is een genot om mee te schrijven. Prima keuze als je eens wat anders wilt dan blauw of zwart. Overigens was bestellen bij Appelboom weer een onberispelijke ervaring.
