Trying Cheap Japanese Stationery from Daiso │Good Notebooks for Fountain Pens?

After posting a couple of videos about budget-friendly fountain pen paper, I got a number of comments about fountain pen friendly notebooks from Daiso, a store that sells Japanese and Japanese-inspired goods, including Japanese stationery. My family and I recently had the opportunity to explore a new Daiso location here in Utah, and I was pretty impressed by their extensive Japanese stationery section. After browsing through dozens of options options, I bought half a dozen paper options to try: two kinds of calligraphy paper, a notepad, and three different notebooks. Each of these only cost $2.25 (USD). Will these options work for fountain pens? Let's find out!
