Just to share. I bought this set of 7 fountain pens in various colors (black, blue black, red, pink, violet, yellow, and green; Platinum Preppy, model number PSQ-300) recently because it was on offer on Amazon. The nibs are 0.3 but I think they also come in 0.2 and 0.5 but with a smaller range of colors.
Given that each is a 300 yen fountain pen, I really did not expect much from then. But when I gave one a test, it wrote exceptionally well for its price. Wow!
By the way, these fountain pens do not come with a converter, but they are sold with an ink cartridge of their corresponding color each. They use Platinum's own ink cartridges, but you can also get a Platinum converter for them, though the converter is about 500 yen and is therefore more expensive than the pen itself. Ink cartridges are 100 yen for a pair here in Japan.
For those who are interested, here is an affiliate link to Amazon.com. (They are slightly cheaper in Japan.)
