ボクも皆さんと、たぶん同じように、ディズニーランドが大好きです。（まだ６回ほどしか行けてませんが…。）なんといっても、あらゆる細かい部分にまでプロフェッショナルを感じるからです。思えばボクが最初に絵に興味を持ったのは、保育園児の時に映画館で観たディズニーのアニメ『101匹わんちゃん大行進』で、その絵のすばらしさにあこがれたのがきっかけでした。感謝してます。

I, probably just like all of you, love Disneyland. (Though I’ve only been able to go about six times….) More than anything, it’s because you can feel how professional it is, down to the littlest things. Come to think of it, what first got me interested in drawing was when I went to see 101 Dalmatians at the movie theater when I was in nursery school, and was drawn in by how wonderful the art was. I am grateful.

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

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