Hobonichi is making moves again
MotherandEarthBoundfans are always looking for fresh ways to share their longstanding love of the series, and while there aren’t any game announcements to cover – let’s get that out of the way right now – thereisa new comic to check out. It’s the first big part of theHobonichi Mother Project.
Any excuse to hear “Pollyanna” and I’mthere. The song always puts a smile on my face.
TheMothertribute comic,Pollyanna, is a collaboration with35 artists and writersincludingMother 3‘s Nobuhiro Imagawa andUndertale‘s Toby Fox. There are illustrations, essays, and even stickers with characters from all three games. It’s the kind of thing collectors tend to cherish, especially as major anniversaries come and go with less-than-ideal fanfare onNintendo’s part.Motherfandom is lifelong.
For those of us unwilling or unable to track down a Japanese copy, we can at least enjoy the art.
Pollyannais releasing next month in Japan – first at theHobonichi store, on June 12, then at general bookstores, on June 25. The comic will sell for 2,640 yen (around $25), and customers who snag a copy during Hobonichi’s advance release period will also get a cute Mr. Saturn tote bag as a bonus.
The video ends with an intriguing “To Be Continued…” screen, but this isn’t our first rodeo.
