何回も言ってることなのですが、ボクは、とにかく寒いのがニガ手で、冬は大キライです。クマみたいに冬眠したいぐらいで、よくスキーとかに、さそわれたりするのですが、とてもじゃないけど、わざわざもっと寒い所になんか行く気にはなりません。しかしそのぶん、暑い夏は大スキで、ワクワクしてしまいます。ボクの漫画も、ほとんどが夏っぽいわけです。夏は最高!!…蚊さえいなけりゃね。

I’ve said this many times before, but anyway, I don’t like the cold, and I really hate winter, so much so that I’d like to hibernate like a bear. I often get invited to go skiing and such, and it’s not like I couldn’t, but I just have no desire to go out of my way to go someplace that’s even colder. But as much as I hate winter, I really love the hot summer, and get really excited for it. That’s why, even in my comics, it’s almost always summery. Summer is the greatest! If only there weren’t any mosquitoes…

Title Page Special Feature

As the tankōbon are compilations of pre-existing chapters, they are intended to be continuously read from beginning to end. Often times, any title pages not considered integral to the story, or due to page count issues between chapters, were moved to the back of the volume and collected in a special gallery following the volume’s final chapter. The gallery notes the title pages are “as they appeared in Weekly Shōnen Jump“, which include the original tag lines and “Bird Studio” logo. These features are typically removed from the title pages remaining in the volume’s main content.

Notes

• No chapter title pages were omitted from this volume.

Supplemental Images
