I’m no pen enthusiast, but I used to really enjoy Zebra. Build quality was good for the price point, and they were super smooth to write with. Unfortunately the quality went downhill maybe 5 or so years ago and they haven’t been great in my opinion ever since. They still feel fine physically, but the ink will stop dispensing randomly while writing. Got sick of it and switched to Pilot. Been using Pilot Precise V5 0.5mm and find them great. The ink runs a little wet though, so the only downside is that if you rub your palm across the page too soon after writing it’ll smear a bit.

I second this and also advise diving into SAC head first. Easily has one of the best soundtracks out there to boot. Yoko Kanno did some incredible work in my opinion on that one. Stay away from SAC_2045 though. It really was pretty terrible.
