久しぶりに自転車に乗ったら、ほんのちょっと走っただけで、足がグダグダに疲れてしまった。子供といっしょにディズニーランドで、はりきって歩き廻っていたら、つぎの日、熱を出して寝込んでしまった。海に行ったとき、肩には自身があったので、得意になって石を投げていたら、絵も描けないぐらい腕が痛くなってしまった。完全な運動不足である。仕事なんかしてないで、遊ばなくては！

When I got on my bike for the first time in a while, after riding for only a little bit, my legs got so tired they turned to mush. At Disneyland, when I ran around enthusiastically with my children, the next day I was laid up with a fever. When we went to the beach, and, thinking I had a pretty good arm, I showed off my skill at throwing stones, my arm got so sore that I couldn’t even draw. I am completely out of shape. I’ve got to give work a rest, and go play!

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

• This volume omits one of the original chapter title pages, although it was later included in the kanzenban release.

Supplemental Images

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