ボクは、なにもしないでボ〜ッとしていることができません。いつもなにかに夢中になっていないと落ち着かないのです。まるで泳いでいないと死んでしまうサメのようです。どんなにつまらないものでもいいから夢中になっていないとダメなのです。だから、これといって、したいことがないときなど、とてもあせってしまって部屋の中をウロウロ…。仕事も夢中のひとつだったらいいんですが…。

I can’t just sit around and do nothing. I never feel comfortable if I’m not completely absorbed in something. Just like how sharks will die if they stop swimming. Anything is fine, no matter how pointless, but I have to be completely absorbed. Because of this, though, when there isn’t anything I want to do, I get really fidgety and pace around the room…. It’d be nice if “work” was one of those things I could absorb myself in, as well….

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
