The book adds 48 pages to the 2015 volume "Bungei Bessatsu: Jun Mihara" and includes a first-publication "phantom handwritten manuscript" - a draft created just before the birth of the Hamidashikko series, with the opening portion reproduced. New contributions from Akiko Monden, Keiko Nishi, and Nami Sasō appear alongside additional representative color illustrations. A newly added symposium, "Don't Forget Jun Mihara: 30th Anniversary Memorial Symposium," is also featured.
The same day sees a limited "Jun Mihara Special Box" that includes the expanded feature and the complete 64-page version of the handwritten manuscript, housed in a box. From June 26 to July 14, an original art exhibition titled "See Your Dreams" runs at the Morishita Culture Center in Koto, Tokyo. On July 13, a talk event with Nami Sasō and Miu Sakai discusses the Hamidashikko series. A second exhibition, commemorating LaLa's 50th anniversary, runs July 17 to 27 at Span Art Gallery.
