First off, I bet the main question most people have is how well the erasability feature works, and I'm happy to report it's excellent! Most of the shades disappear with no trace, especially anything that's just writing or lines (like underlining). Area coverage can leave more of a trace, as you'd expect, but even that is mainly with the colors that have a lot of red in them.
It's also 'real' erasing, not a friction-based reaction where the writing disappears through heat, so your work won't be affected if you leave it in the car in freezing-cold or very hot weather.
This also means that you don't have to use the specialty eraser that is included, you can use another one. Just as with graphite pencils, not all erasers work as well, but you still have options. Two erasers I've found work great are the Sakura Arch Foam, and for a pen-shaped detail eraser, a Tombow mono. That said the included eraser is really nice, and the black sleeve it comes in is plastic so you can reuse it with other block erasers once this one shrinks too much.
To review these overall, these are the pencils to get if you're looking for something that can be used for BOTH artistic colouring AND journaling/organizing/color-coding purposes.
For art, they are smooth and vivid enough to work for everyday art and sketching use. Okay, maybe you're not going to create the biggest masterpiece if you're used to those professional sets of like 120 pencils that go for hundreds of $, but you can still do a lot with these because they're really responsive to varied techniques, like layering or blending, which many of the more school-type coloured pencils can't really do.
At the same time, the erasability makes them ideal for more organising-related applications, like note taking, underlining, or using in a planner/journal (colour-coding etc). They also hold their point really well for a long time; I've had the mini versions since 2013, and have only needed to sharpen them at a rate of about once a year.
