MOTHERAn enemy blocked the way!A6 Size (fits Planner and Original)
This cover is an homage to Shigesato Itoi's 1994 Super Nintendo game, MOTHER 2 (EarthBound in North America). We’ve had all kinds of designs for the series over the years, and this year we’re excited to introduce a cover filled with the enchanting enemies of EarthBound.
The cohort on the cover includes Giant Ant, Mondo Mole, Trillionage Sprout, Plague Rat of Doom, Thunder and Storm, Electro Specter, Carbon Dog, Runaway Dog, Belch, Frank Fly, Worthless Protoplasm, Ramblin' Evil Mushroom, Kraken, Department Store Spook, Boogey Tent, Yes Man Jr., Black Antoid, Chomposaur, Starman Jr., Coil Snake, Li’l UFO, and Ness’s Nightmare.
Seeing all these bad guys—hard-boiled sanctuary bosses, enemies encountered over and over again, villains that you couldn’t help but laugh at—will evoke all sorts of memories for nostalgic players. Even the background these characters sit against comes from EarthBound’s battle screens.
The pen holders are purple and pink, as are the bookmarks, which have green charms. This color scheme exudes the energy of EarthBound enemies.
The cover interior is khaki-colored, and the interior pocket includes the MOTHER logo.
These funny, lovable enemies didn’t all make frequent appearances in the game, but they’re a fundamental part of the colorful world of MOTHER 2. We hope you enjoy this special cover starring all these unique characters.
This cover includes bonus stickers you can use to mark your techo pages. These stickers are included on two sheets so you can keep one in perfect shape. Feel free to use these stickers on special days and on days that are nothing special!

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.
- Actual specifications may vary from listing
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.
- Color and print may vary slightly
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.
- Material contains variances in color and coat
The natural material contains variances in color and coat between each product.
- Pen holders are rigid at first
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.
- Pen holder fits pens up to 13.5 mm wide
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.
- 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.
