[An odd title page pic...  ...of Madoka, though she looks more like Oda
 Kumiko.  Or maybe a grown-up Manami...  She stands in shirt and tie, baggy
 pants and suspenders, 3 books held under her arm.  With her free hand she
 adjusts her glasses...  In the background is what looks to be a 2-story
 country inn.]
