The Sakura calendar, at least from what I've seen till now is ridiculous... It has nothing to do with her story and with characters that connect to her...

I do agree with you, unless if there's an explanation for it, the only thing that Hinata has to do with Sakura is when it comes to help Naruto, if we look at Pain arc she saw Hinata willing to give her life for Naruto and she had that reaction.
Maybe seeing Hinata doing those things kinda push Sakura towards Naruto?

Yeah but then they could've used another image, the one from the Pein Arc itself. Oh, well...
@六道仙人
It doesn't kinda seem random, at least with the others, but oh well...

I'm curious to know what Hinata is saying in the determined pic right beside Sakura's forehead. Might give it some context as to why it's there. Love to know if anyone can match it to the manga or make out a translation.
Really the only reason it could be there would be to hint at a love triangle. Otherwise there just is no reason to give her such prominence in the graphic. All I have to say is that they better have some good Naruto pics down low to balance out this circus of characters at the top. They're close to her sure, but Naruto's always been her main focus. So yeah...to put Neji in is just...weird.
I know it's just a calendar. But still.... The marketing doesn't always have to get it so wrong with Sakura.... I'm curious to see what the rest of the pic holds. But with the Sasuke/Sakura scene on Naruto's page and Hinata on hers, I'm not holding my breath.

It's from chapter 540, page 5.

It's from chapter 540, page 5.
That chapter was fine and made a nice comparison about Hinata's love for Naruto and Sakura's love for Sasuke.
While Hinata gains resolve and strenght when she thinks about Naruto, Sakura becomes sad and gets weaker when she thinks about Sasuke.
But meanwhile with Sakura when she's involved Naruto, she gains strenght and resolve like 631 and on her speech to the alliance and even during Shikamaru going OC chapter.

She's saying "This war is to protect Naruto-kun. We can't lose!"
But I don't think there is a signification to the picture chosen. Prove is that there is a picture of Neji activating his Byakugan in Part 1 and Shikamaru being promoted as a Chuunin.
By the way I have a question: Is this calendar sold in Japan or in USA? Since the months are written in english and since Japan has already a Master/Student calendar

Yeah the level of bianess is just unprofessional whoever created this could have been at least pairing neutral, but i just don't see that in this calender. I mean how about a panel of sakura saying how the alliance and sakura is going to help naruto and her reaction towards the alliance when they are relying on naruto for powerup.

Chapter 616 Colorspread
WSJ Editor: Ok! We will publish this. This is great.
Kishi: I love it.
WSJ Editor: But...you think you can add one more? You know, someone the whole company likes?
Kishi: Where are you getting at....?
WSJ Editor: We were thinking....Hinata!
Kishi: .....
The colorspread remained the same; unfortunately, not Kishi's team.
The End

Add this:
Kishi (in his head) : I wished I should've killed her off for real when I planned it.
What's Happening with the Naruto series as of now!

Lol

Kishi (in his head): I was going to kill her in 614. Hell, Naruto could have hold her hand as she's dying, that would have worked. Oh well, time to crush pairing dream. I think 630 or 631 is a good chance.

here sakura Calendar:)
sorry I don't have the full image :(
That really just doesn't make sense. I see two picture of Hinata behind Sakura, that's more than on Naruto's, what connection does Hinata have to Sakura to even make her relevant there? And then there's Neji too...

Maybe someone wants to imply that Hinata is Sakura's new rival of love interest...
Or that Hinata gived Sakura some impulse to do something.
Sakura didn't look very amused when she discovered Hinata's feelings to Naruto.
Wanting or not, I can see some revelance of Hinata in Sakura's life...
About Neji...

Guys my sister saw the calendar today in a japanese bookstore and she told me that Sakura's page has lots of random pics, more like a brainstorming. Everyone is in there and she told me that it has solo pictures of characters such as Shikamaru, Ino and etc... She couldn't take a photo because she forgot her mobile phone though.

Shikamaru and Ino are also understandable. But everyone? Including Chouji or Shino? Ok, that's far from being reasonable.
What about Naruto? He should appear more in Sakura's callendar...
Almost whole importance in Sakura's existence is due to him. A Sakura without Naruto wouldn't be the same Sakura we know.
