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
