三ツ星カラーズ Volume 6

As previosuly mentioned, they’re starting at Keisei Ueno station. There’s not a lot of Street View around this station, but there’s two and a half thousand photos attached to the location, so let’s see what we can turn up.

First panel of page Title+1
Elevator! Escalator!
券売機! (Looks like they’ve updated the map since this chapter was written - Keisei Ueno is now on the left-hand edge. Ticket price to Nippori is still the same, though. I did, however, find this page with a photo of the old map.)
Ticket gates (Kind of impressed they can pass through at a run without missing the ticket coming out the other side.)
もう電車きてる
Train interior

This appears to be a photo of the Haku-Dou station platforms, but it doesn’t quite resemble the glimpses we get here.

Meanwhile, the lines of three companies meet at Nippori station - Keisei, JR and Toei - meaning there’s close to five thousand photos, so it’s a bit tricky to pick out anything that shows up here…

In any case, that was a nice little tutorial on how to buy train tickets in Japan. :stuck_out_tongue:

What do my home and the Colors hideout have in common? No air conditioning.

Yeah, but your home is probably not a corrugated iron shed. :slightly_smiling_face:

Bit of a step back this week after all of the exitement of catching a train last week.

Being back home for the holidays, I’m mostly just jealous of the Colors’ weather at the moment… :joy:

(Just remembered that Japanese Language is actually Googleable) :sweat_smile:

I was genuinely expecting Kotoha would burst at some point during this chapter…

This was a super fun chapter.
We had a “home corner” in my classroom when I was about 7 which had dolls and a play kitchen and that sort of stuff for us to play “families” in, and this chapter really reminded me of the storylines we used to come up with :grin:

On a separate note, since next weeks chapter is the last one in the volume, I’ve read ahead this week because I’m trying to finish a few books before the new year starts :slight_smile:

When they suggested she write a 未来日記, I admit I was kinda picturing something just a little further into the future than half an hour. :stuck_out_tongue:
