Mother (EarthBound in North America) is a video game series created by Shigesato Itoi, and after years of successful Hobonichi Techo cover designs, the series made its return to the lineup in 2018.
“This is Magicant.” portrays the world inside the mind of the main character Ness near the end of the game. You can see all the characters he meets in Magicant on this cover, including favorites like Flying Man, the snowman, the clock, the flower, the baby chick, the Star Master, Swoosh, naked Ness, and more. Looking through these characters will fill players with nostalgia as they remember all the little episodes that happened in Magicant. As a playful addition to the design, the inside of the pocket has a pattern that’s different from that on the outside. We hope you look forward to discovering it once you receive the cover.
The cover interior is a deep pink, with pen holders in blue and beige. The two bookmarks are green and red, and the Mother logo is inside the bottom right pocket.
You can use this cover to turn your Hobonichi Techo into your own Magicant, filling it with your own memories, sketches, and other personal musings.
Included free with this cover is a Mr. Saturn notepad. The notepad is in the traditional Japanese vertical style, with a color Mr. Saturn on the cover and monochrome Mr. Saturn on the pages. Written in the corner is the phrase, “Write so many.”

In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.
Each item is individually assembled and sewn by hand by a factory worker. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences.
The silk print may eventually peel or come off with daily use. If using a Cover on Cover, the silk print may stick to the plastic and eventually come off with it from the constant contact.
This material is first printed or dyed and then later sewn onto the cover. While colors are designed to be consistent, there may be uneven coloring or slight shade variances between covers. This may also happen across a single cover, such as a pocket compared to the rest of the cover. In addition, on rare occasions, there may be small black or white dots visible on the print. This is an unavoidable aspect of the manufacturing process.
Due to the characteristics of the print and product material, the sewing process may expose the white of the original material around the stitches.
Stitching may be slightly curved or bumpy as a result of sewing together materials of various thicknesses.
The pen holders are rigid at first, making it difficult to insert pens. You can speed up the breaking-in process by rolling the pen holders in your hand.
The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2 mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free Hobonichi Store Exclusive. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5 mm (0.53”) in diameter.
The color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.
