Hobonichi 2024 A5 Planner Cover [MOTHER: Boing!]

*This product is shipping from Tuesday 6th February 2024. Any orders which contain this product will ship at the same and not before this date.

This MOTHER series cover design was made in part by Shigesato Itoi. The A5 size cover is printed with quotes from the Mr. Saturn characters. The orange cotton material has Mr. Saturns walking around it, and between them are occasional quotes printed on the cover.

◆Boing!
◆Drink coffee before go?
◆Breathe is sooooo good!

These quotes were picked from ones the Mr. Saturns say in MOTHER 2 and MOTHER 3.



The back of the cover also includes Mr. Saturns who seem to be walking in circles, as well as quotes from the character.

◆We no name! Boing!
All have same name!

◆Happy.
Boing.
More happy.
Ding ding.

◆Potential!

These quotes aren’t printed in the Mr. Saturn font from the game, but instead printed in a font that Shigesato Itoi commissioned by filling out a draft manuscript in order to turn it into one.


The inside of the cover is orange, and it has two bookmarks with navy ribbons. The ticket pocket contains the following quote.

◆I think new things…
Difficult things… from now…

The MOTHER 2 logo is printed alongside this quote from Mr. Saturn after solving a certain incident in Saturn Valley. It seems like it holds a deep meaning, while actually meaning nothing. This quote from the pure and innocent Mr. Saturn is hidden for only your eyes to see.


As a free bonus, this cover includes a pack of 12 clear MOTHER 2 stickers of various sizes.


You can place these stickers somewhere on your techo, or on whichever belonging you’d like to stick some on! The sticker is fade-resistant and slightly water repellant, so you could also put it on a suitcase. We hope you’ll use it however your heart desires!


There are a total of three Mother series designs stocked at The Journal Shop, in the Hobonichi Techo 2024 lineup: Original A6 cover Attention!, Cousin A5 size cover Boing! and the Summers design for the Weeks.

The A5 planner cover is no longer sold as a set to include the planner. From 2024, you will now have the option of buying a planner to fit your cover of choice, separately. The A5 cover fits the Cousin book. Please see our range of Hobonichi planners, here.
