Just as promised, publisher Hobonichi has elaborated a bit more on their plans for the Mother Project, a new venture that would see the release of franchise-related merchandise. A Japanese trailer revealed the newly-announced Pollyanna anthology comic, which is a collection of short, unrelated stories set in the Mother universe, each drawn by different artists. 35 different illustrators will be working on the manga, including Undertale creator Toby Fox, as well as manga artist Keiichi Arawi known for creating Nichijou, and Mother 3 art director Nobuhiro Imagawa all listed within the credits. Pre-orders for the manga will go live on June 12th exclusively on the Hobonichi store, with general pre-orders to open up for other retailers on June 25th. No English release has been confirmed yet. The trailer ends on a teaser of "to be continued", implying there's still more news to be revealed.

official anthology is basically a bunch of one shots made by manga/doujinshi artists they approved and released officially. not that really interesting.

Depends on how you pronounce it, polyana means 'glade' in russian. Maybe just a coincidence.

short, unrelated stories

Why?

Why not freaking adapt the games?

Why?

The games are phenomenal at giving the correct emotion of what they want to, when they want to.

Now they are just teasing us.

Welp that sparked the urge to play through Earthbound again.

I just hope the inevitable scanlation doesn't keep all the chans and sans. It just... Wouldn't feel right. I doubt I'll read it if so

I still have hopes of a Mother Trilogy for Switch in the form of a 3D remake.

The trilogy could have a remake design of Link's awakening or Pokemon Lets Go. Make it 3D but keep the same camera angle.

I actual like the idea of a Mother comic. Now... A game about the comic? Now THAT is an idea I'm married to

Toby Fox drawing manga, interesting. I was under the impression he was not confident in his art skills and if he has no past experience drawing manga (dunno) it takes some learning to figure out that art style.

Please allow international shipping for this. A translation would be amazing as well. Basically, let the whole world show their love for the Mother Series.
