This image, of what can possibly be called the supporting girls of K-ON!, is remarkable not so much for its quality (which it certainly possesses), but that it is actually fanart by a Pixiv artist, and not actually an official picture.
All the girls look excellent, with Ritsu and Sawa-chan’s exposed bellies likely being the best points on display. Nodoka’s megane and inappropriately heavy clothing look as moe as ever.
The lack of detail on Tsumugi’s shorts may be the picture’s weakest link, but at least she a moe ponytail on to make up for it.
For an amusing gag, quickly compare the fanmade image above to the (official) recent Megami magazine poster of the rest of the show’s cast shown below, and wonder if you would have realized that you were not looking at two official pictures?
The talented Pixiv artist, Kumosuke, apparently had the above Megami picture in mind when drawing her own complementary image, which she teasingly named “The Four Unpopular Ones.”
Kumosuke also has this maid-filled picture to her credit:
More of her art is available at his Pixiv profile.

Oh look opinions. I still voted for Yui simply because mentally impaired girls turn me on.
mugi!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Combat maids are the best...
lmao barely a single comment about Mio and yet she is once again winning
Amen.
Azu-nyan may be uptight and whiny at times, but she's my new favorite. Mio was my favorite originally, when I saw her being completely awesome in the ED sequence, but now she's too much of a scaredy-cat moeblob for me to like her.
The only popular girl I see there is Yui-chan, and Tsumugi should not even be considered "unpopular" because she was in the club before Azusa stepped foot into the show >:I
RITSU AND TSUMUGI UNPOPULAR WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN
IT BULLSHIT I TELL YOU
how dare they disrespect krauser-sensei >:(
I only have trouble choosing between Yui , Mio and Azusa ^.^
Same here! ^_^
Each of the girls is great though.
since when Ui is popular?
I can't decide betwen Mio and Azusa >.>
I guess will be Azu-nyan this time :D
Which issue of Megami is the second pic from?
I linked to in the post - July issue, and you can see the cover there just to be sure you're getting the right one.
Ritsu. Sawako-sensei. Mugi. Nodoka.
ALL IN ONE PICTURE.
I think I've found my definitive K-On! work. :3
Azu-nyan~
no wai~ mugi chan is never unpopular!
Why is there no "All" option?
Sawako is still a tough standard compared to the other girls.
I wish Ritsu was more popular, she has the best personality by far in my opinion. She's such a fun character and reminds me of Tomo from Azumanga Daioh and Kana from Minami-ke.
Mugi < Ui? BLASPHEMY!
That Megami poster has all four K-ON! contestants from the 2010 International Saimoe League. Not surprised.
I can't be the only one who likes Ritsu here?
love Ritsu
Ui best waifu XD
Truly fanart composed of win.
As for the Megami Magazine one, I'm glad I bought that magazine issue! On its way now. Patiently waiting for lag SAL...
Why all the haet? =(
Nodoka > EVERYONE.
Shhh, it's supposed to be a secret!
An Yui + Ui 3some would be nice...
GO YUI!! US FELLOW AIR-HEADS ARE ROOTING FOR YA!
I like all 3, even though I'm a Mio Fanboy. The show just wouldn't work without the other characters.
Mio is a faggot.
1. Mugi
2. Ui
3. Nodoka
4. Sawa-chan
5. Azusa
6. Yui
7. Ritsu
8. Mio
Yui~
the first one has more freshness to it than the official one, the faces on the first one are very lively
that's one talented artist and an awesome fanart \o/
i thought it was an official art in the first place XDD
Used to be Mio but Mugi's my favourite now.
Mugi > *
so little ppl vote for Ui, all well more for me
wurz teh UI LOVE~!?
Wow this guy's pretty good i'd say. Production quality artwork, he should get hired by KyoAni. He might be the cure to the strabismus.
yaaayyy!!! Nodokaaaaa
:r
*drool
Mio still wins.
all is right in the world
Isn't the artist a female?
Needs moar Yui votes! ^_^
Azusa is fine, too!
YUI X AZUSA would be the best.
Nodoka is my favorite even if she is unpopular!
'More of his art' ??
Her?

Thanks - I can't remember if it was a typo or I didn't notice that on her profile.
It's not possible for me to hate anyone in K-ON!
I <3 them all
The last pic is a Haou Airen parody.
http://danbooru.donmai.us/post?tags=haou_airen
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haou_Airen
So does this confirms that Ui will go yandere and kill them all?
Nice boat
YEAH! go Mugi-Chan!
Nodoka unpopular? wtf is this?
and mugi too? no way she's unpopular
Ui... popular?
Ui not loli enough for the pedobear?!
Why yes, she's. Haven't you seen the heaps of YuixUi fanart?
WTF? Mugi eyebrows are more popular than Yui's little sis.
inorite...
I'd /definitely/ her eyebrows.
The reality, dude
Wow the first pic' is awesome for a fanart !
But I cannot manage to choose a favorite character between Yui et Azusa... I know ! I'll marry them both ! *^___^*
Marry Yui, adopt Azusa, problem solved! :D
Hear, hear!
If you marry Yui than Azu~nyan becomes your pet and Ui becomes your maid.
AZUSA!!1
yucks, azusa has been whining since the day she appear in this anime.
up-tight little pussy.
Seconded, Azusa is just plain annoying >:I
If you think Azusa's a whiny pussy then you've never been in a band where you're the only one who wants to practice... it's damn annoying.
I identify with her the most, but my favorite is either Sawa-chan or Mugi P:
I'd rather hit a tight pussy, then some loose whore.
That's exactly why everyone loves her
second
azusa-nyan~ XD
always nice to see anon fail.
too bad azu-nyan is already my waifu.
Very impressive. I think there is a slightly less opaque quality to the line art on the fan picture, but I only spotted it out of looking for differences.
TSUMUGI is often the most popular girl behind Mio. Yui has no sex appeal and how did Ui even get into consideration? I'll concede that Azuza has the loli-vote locked and Mio is the star fan fav but Mugi is so much more MOE and a time test fan fav than Yui & Ritsu.
Unpopular girl my ass!
I know! Tsumugi's eyebrows are just delicious, yo!
You don't determine the popularity of characters from a moe show based on their sex appeal.
What about Mio?
In order of likeness:
Yui
Mugi
Sawako
Hey now, a Sawa-sensei is fine too! She has better taste in music than the current club.
She's my pick. I bet she fucks like a tiger.
Or just goes ape shit on your dick and rips it off...
A good gamble?
+1 :D Metal Chicks are Hot!
I personally had to say "One of the Unpopular ones". But truthfully, should have just eschewed the vote entirely. As, I've come to notice over the course of K-On! I have never enjoyed one character fully without an equal counterpart(or parts).
For example. Ui is fairly undesirable, unless she's fawning over Yui, who is in turn, undesirable unless she has someone else to emphasize her rather 'fluffy' personality.
Or how I don't particularly like Ritsu, unless it's Mio she's interacting with. Or how Mugi doesn't shine quite as much, unless she's off in her yuri-fantasy-daydreams. And how Azusa is just a stuffy loli (lolicon desires aside), unless the others are around the tear down her uptight personality. (I don't supposes she's really UPTIGHT. But I can't think of a proper word right now.)
Either way. Couldn't you have at least given us the choice of having both the sisters, Quen? D=
nicely put! quite an observation of how K-On! really works...
This is a very good explaination of how Moe interactions make for a addictively fun show!
Haruhi wouldn't be nearly as entertaining if it wasn't for her supporting cast. They aren't fun unless they act with another person of opposite balence.
I prefer Ritsu interacting with Yui.
GATTAI, SPARKLER MAN!
You can choose both the sisters if you'd like AnonY ^^
But since I picked Mugi, would this be in extension means "all of the above"? :3
It's all about Sawako-sensei, we need more stuff out there of her. . . .
This.
MILFs/Older women rarely get attention. Sad state of affairs.
Azusa>Yui>Ritsu=Mugi>Mio>other ones
The second pic actually stands more as Sister-complex, that's why Ui is there...
Then again, who wouldn't want Ui, a cute ponytailed girl who will cook your meal, do chores for you everyday and will always find you cute when you're slacking around... Of course the last one would only works for Yui.
Not to mention Azusa wanting to have a big sister like Mio...
Tsumugi is "unpopular"? But... She's the best Character in the bunch.
Bullshit. I hate all of you Mio lovers!!!!! T_T
And Azusa lovers!!!! >:[
