Mr. Saturn is a character that appears in both of these games, and adorns the necktie material used on the cover of this techo.



The main material comes in an apricot hue to mimic the color of Mr. Saturn’s skin, and it’s dotten with images of Mr. Saturn’s face and trademark red ribbon.

The necktie material gives it some texture that’s pleasant to the touch, as well as a nice-looking sheen. Because it’s genuine necktie material, you can enjoy the exquisite texture of the weave and its silky luster.



The Mr. Saturns are known for their gentle nature, great intelligence, and pure hearts, making them a perfect fit for a techo where you can store the memories of your peaceful days.



The cover has been constructed as a light hardcover book with some give to it so it still bends.
