As I've mentioned here on City-Cost a few times before, I'm a big fan of all things Hangyodon. That extends to both random household bits and bobs and fun stationery items, and these Hangyodon mildliners were a recent addition to my Amazon Japan shopping cart. They come in six different colours, including grey, dusty pink, violet, soda blue, blue-green, and yellow, and they have dual tips, so both a pointed tip and chisel tip. I find this to be handy depending on what I'm using them for, as some tasks work better with one over the other!

If you're just looking for simple markers or highlighters, then there are ABSOLUTELY cheaper options out there - I'd suggest going to have a look at your nearest Daiso/Seria/Can-Do, and if you're not wedded to a particular design or character you'll have a bunch of items to select from. Really, these were a bit of an impulse buy because I had some extra City-Cost gift card money, and I probably wouldn't have purchased them if I was spending my own cash. In saying that, they're cute and work well, but I had to take a couple of points off just for the value for money aspect (or lack thereof!)
