Astro BoyAbove the SkyWeeks Hardcover Book (Japanese)
Astro Boy, one of Osamu Tezuka’s representative works that has inspired many, and a comic that’s suited to be noted as a classic Japanese manga, has turned into a Weeks book.
The front cover shows Astro Boy drawn in red, with a stern expression, just as he flies off. The blue and black stripes add to the energizing feel of this scene. The stars and planets drawn in the background adds a charming touch, as well as making you feel the scale of this scene.
The back cover features a handwritten Astro Boy logo.
The 2021 on the front and spine is foil-printed in a matte silver.
The design is lead by TSDO’s Masako Kusakabe. From years of experience of producing various Hobonichi Techo covers, she created a book that expresses Astro’s speed as he takes off, but also with a cute feel.
When you order this Hobonichi Techo Weeks, you’ll receive a clear, adhesive corner pocket you can stick anywhere you like.
If you’d like storage space or a way to change up the look of your Weeks book, you can customize your book by pairing it with a Weeks cover.

Please Read Before You Buy
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.
- Test fountain pens before regular use
The Hobonichi Techo's Tomoe River paper is designed to prevent bleed-through, but some fountain pens and water-based ink pens are not compatible with this paper. When switching to a new pen, we recommend testing the pen somewhere in the book, such as the back memo pages, to see if the ink bleeds through or takes an especially long time to dry.
- Cover corners are slightly bumpy and shiny
The corners of the cover contain light traces of press marks, shines, and lumps. This is an unavoidable part of the manufacturing process.
- Imprinted year numbers may peel
The numbers of the year are stamped onto the cover in metallic or other colored leaf, so strong rubbing or everyday use may cause the numbers to peel off.
- Use of Cover on Cover is not recommended
We do not recommend using this cover with the Cover on Cover since the PP coated surface of the cover has a tendency to stick to the soft PVC material used in the Cover on Cover under certain temperature and humidity levels.
- Avoid storing in hot and humid places
Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains.
