posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
The brothers of Mr. Osomatsu are revealing their magical girl side on the May issue cover of YOU magazine today. Shueisha's manga magazine shows all of the Matsuno brothers dressed as Naoko Takeuchi's own Sailor Guardians.
Osomatsu takes the lead as Sailor Moon, Karamatsu is Sailor Mercury, Choromatsu is Sailor Jupiter, Ichimatsu is Sailor Mars, Jūshimatsu is Sailor Venus, and Todomatsu is Sailor Chibi Moon. The cover image is included on a double-sided poster with artwork drawn by Masako Shitara. Shitara draws the Mr. Osomatsu manga adaptation for YOU magazine.
Shitara thanked Naoko Takeuchi on her Twitter account, adding that in elementary school she even altered a piece of jewelry to pretend it carried the Silver Crystal from Sailor Moon. Shitara expressed gratitude for being able to participate in this collaboration.
Margaret magazine had its own Mr. Osomatsu collaboration in this year's sixth issue and TV Bros. magazine released six variant covers, one for each character. Pash! magazine published a cover with the sextuplets that led to the the publication's highest ever first printing. The January and February issues also included Mr. Osomatsu posters, and their first printings sold out, prompting Shufu-to-Seikatsu Sha to order additional print runs. Tokuma Shoten published the February issue of Monthly Animage magazine with Mr. Osomatsu on the cover on January 10, and when the issue sold out, Tokuma Shoten ordered the first ever additional print run in the magazine's 36-year history.
