わが家の愛犬、マトリョーシカです。この名前は、ロシアの民芸玩具からとったものです。いちいちマトリョーシカと呼ぶのも面倒ですから、通称はマトです。シベリア犬なので、さすがに寒さには、やたら強く、寒がりのボクには、うらやましいかぎり。メスなのですがメチャメチャ元気で、息子なんぞは、いつも突きとばされて泣いております。どんなに忙しくても毎日遊んでもらっております。

This is our family dog, Matryoshka. We took her name from the traditional Russian dolls. It’s a pain to call her “Matryoshka” all the time, though, so her nickname is “Mato”. Being a Siberian Husky, she’s quite good against the cold, so as someone sensitive to the cold, I absolutely envy her. Even though she’s female, she’s got lots and lots of energy, so my son is always crying from her pushing him around. No matter how busy I am, I play with her every day.

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

• The cover artwork for this volume reused the original title page artwork for Chapter 155, which is included in this volume.
• No chapter title pages were omitted from this volume.

Supplemental Images

The following supplemental images are included in this volume and are original illustrations drawn by Akira Toriyama exclusively for this tankōbon volume:
