I read the serialization in the large format of "Monthly Flowers" two or three times every time, but when I re-read it all together in the collected volume, I became immersed in the story and shed tears.

when things are painful and sad

I have been buying every issue of "Monthly Flowers" that contains the three-times-a-year serialization since the November 2009 issue, which featured the title story of "Umimachi Diary" Vol. 3, "10: The Sunny Slope".
It is sad that the beautiful color opening pages from the magazine serialization turn into dim monochrome when they become a collected volume.
The three pages of the collected volume's cover, back cover, and title page are reproductions of the magazine's color opening pages, but since one of the four chapters included is not reproduced, I want to show the color opening pages I have to fans who only read the collected volumes, on the large-format magazine pages!
