This is a really nice ink, but it's essentially a grayer, less blue Iroshizuku Shin-kai. If someone is looking for a bluer, more interesting alternative to Sailor's usual Blue Black, then this is the ink to get. It behaves perfectly; I just wish it weren't as close to an ink I already own and use all the time. And the color's a bit blah, if I'm honest.

Interestingly, the Shin-kai and the Nagata Blue look completely different on Tomoe River; the paper makes the blue of the Shin-kai come out (fourth line down), while it makes the gray of the Nagata Blue come out (last line).
