A unique volume of short stories. These weren't previously published in the magazine, and all (except the last) directly feature one of the main cast members. Some of the information here will definitely be relevant in the main story! Two stories even take place in the near future (but are intended to be read now). The umbrella story was my least favorite (tho there are some great sections), as it's meandering, and I was never interested in it in the first place. It's the only one that does not feature any main cast member, and is totally skippable.

I've put the general setting of each story below here, as spoiler-free as possible:

  • デビュー - Youko in college, dealing with themes of changing oneself
  • ライバルがいいの - Eriko finally meets her rival!
  • フィレンツェ煎餅を買いに - featuring Sei and Kei
  • 「さん」付け問題 - Yumi, Yoshino, and Shimakoの呼び方
  • 僕の兄妹 - Shimako's family background
  • ユミちゃん絵日記・未来編 1 - Yumi has a fateful meeting
  • ユミちゃん絵日記・未来編 2 - Yumi x Touko date
  • 青い傘の思い出 - what happened to the blue umbrella during those 10 days?
