Overall colour of the cover is dark red, rusty and metallic. Near the top in white is the title Obasan and the author's name Joy Kagawa. The image is a train window that almost fills the space. Dwarfed by the height of the aperture, inside looking out, is the face of a Japanese child wearing a red top with a white Peter Pan collar. Her facial expression is serious and a little blank. She is unclear to the viewer because of netting over the window.

poster has bright red writing over a sepia background. In the lower half, superimposed on a pale blue five-point star, the title Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss is in bright red except for the word Hollywood, which is in bright blue. All the letters are outlined in white and look sparkly. The upper half of the poster is a close up of two young white men, apparently in repose. We see only heads and clothed shoulders, their faces close to each other. The person on the right has his hands around the face of the other, leaning in as though for a kiss, his expression is earnest. The one on the left is looking towards the camera and grinning with an expression of delight. Around the title are tiny figures of people wearing red and blue. One is in a director's chair, another with a clapper board, there is a performer in a big red dress, another in a small red dress and someone in blue jeans.
