This must have been a #mistake. LOL I picked up this 5 pack of Kokuyo Campus B5, 100 sheet #notebooks for $6 per book. Most places list an individual book for $10-$14 USD.
I'm using these books for my daily writing now. Mostly because of the price, compared to an Apica CD Premium #notebook priced at $16 dollars, the Campus seemed like a reasonable option. I've seen that Doodlebud has compared these against his Muji paper, and thought that it was comparable. But since I don't have access to Muji paper here, the Campus is the best option.
These do hold up to #fountainpen usage. While I mostly use a fine nib, I have used a medium and even a broad nib with it, and it's been good. I don't know if it would work well with a 1.1mm nib, but I may try it at some point.

キァンパス reads weird. I would have expected カンパス (campus)

I can't say I understand Japanese enough to understand why the "キァ" vs "カ" makes it weird.

キァ is pronounced like "K'ya" where カ is "Ka". Japanese loanwords be weird.

I pronounce the "ca" in "campus" like the "ca" in carrot, cabin, and Canada, so "キャ" makes perfect sense to me. Do you pronounce it like car, caw, and call?

That's not too uncommon for the "short a" sound of "cat" and "campus". All I can figure is that it's so far front in the mouth that it sounds more like ヤ than ア to the Japanese ear.
