unpis × SKB Movie Review Gel Pen · Retro Barrel Ballpoint (6 Styles)

Some feelings are too specific for words. These three are not. Japanese illustrator unpis and Taiwanese pen house SKB printed Taiwanese-language film subtitles down the barrel of a pen, so your handwriting can do the muttering for you.

• Material: Plastic barrel in retro matte colorways, 14.5 x 0.8 x 0.6 cm, approx 15g per pen
• Ink: Smooth quick-drying black gel ink, 0.5mm tip, suited to writing, note-taking and drawing
• Colors: 琥珀棕 Amber Brown and 白玉 White Jade
• Phrases: Each pen carries one line, written in Japanese kana but read in Taiwanese, the way old Taiwanese-language films used to be subtitled
• 笑す reads as 笑死, roughly "dying of laughter" ✦ なえじゃ古錐 reads as 怎麼這麼古錐, "how are you this cute" ✦ りがわ惦惦 reads as 你給我惦惦, "you, hush"
• Origin: Taiwan. Part of the 2025 Ideal Stationery collaboration, a series that casts everyday stationery as movie characters

Sold individually here, because the joke lands harder when you pick your own line. The kana-as-Taiwanese wordplay is the kind of detail that would be lost on a shelf and is exactly what we like to keep. Slip one in a pencil case, gift one to the friend who needs to hear 惦惦.

Stay curious. Keep collecting. Nothing's trash.
