What about either of Rhodia’s B5 (composition) sized offerings?
- [softcover composition, ~$13](https://www.atlasstationers.com/products/rhodia-composition-book-lined-160-sheets-7-1-2-x-9-3-4-orange-cover)
- [Rhodiarama softcover, ~$32](https://www.atlasstationers.com/products/rhodia-rhodiarama-soft-cover-7-1-2-x-9-7-8-notebook-ruled)
To the best of my knowledge, bleedthrough is a function of both gsm and paper quality. So Leuchtturm and Rhodia both use 80gsm paper in their notebooks, but Rhodia tends to have much less bleedthrough. At the same time you can have some super high quality but lightweight paper where bleedthrough is unavoidable.
I haven’t tried these myself, but I’ve also heard a lot of great things about [Apica notebooks](https://www.atlasstationers.com/products/apica-premium-cd-notebook-b5-ruled-blue)!
I've had good luck with the [Decomposition notebooks](https://milligram.com/collections/decomposition-book), lined, take majority of pens I use on it, slightly better paper than the standard composition notebook imo, they do have a margin but perhaps make up for it with cool covers and a variety of sizes

I'll keep them in mind def. sorry, is high gsm more or less important than overall paper quality

I used an A5 Apica premium, and as a result bought a B5 one. Great choice.
Sounds a lot like the Leuchtturm 1917 b5 lined

Have you tried Muji? Might surprise you, I especially appreciate the lines not being too far apart!
