Spoon 2Di

Spoon 2Di is a Japanese anime and manga magazine which has featured Osomatsu-san on multiple occasions.

Osomatsu-san's first appearance in the magazine was in its July 31, 2015 issue, where information about the anime's announcement and introduction was included. Its second appearance was in the September 30, 2015 issue, where there were articles with even more information leading up to the anime's release date.

However, the first time Osomatsu-san appeared as a cover on the magazine was on Spoon 2Di's December 28, 2015 issue, where the sextuplets appeared on the back cover wearing suspenders while posing near a gingerbread house. The same illustration was included as a poster in the same issue. In the next month's issue, on January 30, 2016, the sextuplets made a return to the magazine's back cover, this time as Queen's Guards. Like the previous edition, a poster version was also included along with interviews with the anime's art director Seiki Tamura and color designer Yukiko Kakita.

While the sextuplets were not featured on the cover, they were featured in a poster included in the February 29, 2016 edition where they are shown in overalls leaping out of a popcorn bucket. This poster was included along with an exclusive interview with Osomatsu's voice actor, Takahiro Sakurai. These designs were featured once again in the March 31, 2016 publication, this time as clear files. On May 31, 2016, coverage of the Fes Matsu '16 event was featured.

To commemorate season 2, Osomatsu-san was featured once again in the July 31, and September 29, 2017 publications. Their next apperance on the magazine was as the front cover on the October 31, 2017 edition, where they were featured eating oden while wearing berets and trenchcoats. Additionally, poster versions of the cover, interviews and autographs from Takahiro Sakurai and the anime's screenwriter Shu Matsubara, as well as a report on the season 2 livestream event "The Sextuplets are Back! Everyone All Together! Totoko's the Best!" (６つ子が帰ってきたよ！全員集合！トト子も最高♪) were included. Furthermore, an acrylic stand version of the cover was available via application as a reader-exclusive bonus.

On December 26, 2017, the sextuplets were featured on the back cover, where they are featured wearing winter jackets in the snow. Along with a poster version of the cover, reports about both season 2 of the anime and the stage play were included. More reports about season 2 and the stage play were included in the next January 31 and March 30, 2018 issues. Additionally, to commemorate the end of season 2 and the Fes Matsu '18 event, Osomatsu-san was once again featured in the September 29, 2018 issue.

To commemorate the release of Eiga no Osomatsu-san, the highschool versions of the sextuplets were featured on the front cover of the January 31, 2019 issue. Along with a poster version of the cover, interviews with all of the voice actors of the sextuplets discussing the recording of the movie, which included a graduation album-like cover. Reader-exclusive can badges of the high schoooler sextuplets were also available to apply for.

Later in the February 26, 2019 issue, the designs featured in the first Osomatsu-san Spoon 2Di cover were revived, but this time as a poster, illustrated with their high school selves. A month later on the March 30, 2019 issue, the high school sextuplets made another apperance on the back cover, where they were featured wearing trench coats while riding a taxi. Interviews were included with the director Yoichi Fujita, screenwriter Shu Matsubara, and Pierrot producer Sadahiko Tominaga. Eiga no Osomatsu-san was once again featured in the April 30, 2019 edition, where columns were written about the most famous scenes in the movie.

Osomatsu-san would not make a return to Spoon 2Di until the announcement of season 3 of the anime in the July 30, 2020 magazine. Subsequently, new original art in the magazine of the sextuplets made a return in the October 29, 2020 issue as a poster, where they are featured wearing autumn clothing. Interviews with Choromatsu's voice actor Hiroshi Kamiya and sound director Ami Yoshikawa were also included. More information about episodes 3-6 of season 3 of the anime were also included in the November 30, 2020 issue.

On December 25, 2020, the sextuplets returned as another poster in the magazine, this time featuring them in black suits posing with a giant teddy bear. An interview with the animation producer Sadahiko Tominaga and articles about more episodes of the anime were also featured. A month later in January 28, 2021, another poster was made of the sextuplets in suits at a hotel. The illustration's background was provided by art director Seiki Tamura, and as such, the issue included an interview with them, as well as a report on the Christmas livestream held to commemorate season 3.

On February 27, 2021, another poster was created, this time of the sextuplets resting inside a box of sweets. While the image is not shown below due to the official Twitter not allowing reposts of this particular poster preview picture, it can be viewed here. An interview was included with Ichimatsu's voice actor Jun Fukuyama. On March 31, 2021, to commemorate the final episode airing, an illustration of the sextuplets drinking together in their varsity jackets was included, along with an interview with Shu Matsubara. A report of the Fes Matsu '21 event was later written about in the June 30, 2021 publication.
