This remarkable book brings together 35 manga artists and creators who love the MOTHER series.

[About the Book]

A graphical tribute to Shigesato Itoi’s famous RPG MOTHER, Pollyanna brings together 35 manga artists and creators who love the game to create everything from serious entries to jokes, long-form pieces, drawings, and pixel art. Each creator poured their own unique love for MOTHER into the book, creating a truly special result.

Shigesato Itoi also contributed to the book himself, creating a hand-drawn map for the overarching MOTHER series. The book also includes a bonus sticker sheet attached to the binding.

[The 35 creators who answered the call]

When we set out to make an official MOTHER tribute comic, we reached out to manga artists who had previously expressed their love for MOTHER. They were all very gracious in agreeing to contribute to the book.

After that, we reached out on Twitter and asked people to share more artists who they knew were MOTHER fans. To our surprise and delight, many of them chimed in that they were fans themselves, and offered to join the project. With all 35 of them aboard, we were able to create this book,Pollyanna.

In other words, this is a book that’s uniquely filled with motivation. Each contributor chose a unique style, theme, and page count for their own section, so the book is filled with everyone’s love and passion for the MOTHER series.
