Author Flap:
The first line I drew was not necessarily the line. [Italics on "the".]

Until I find the line I seek, I'll keep drawing them.

Because all the drawings I've done won't lie...

W. Bentley whom photographed thousands of snow crystals over his lifetime, is proof of that.

93rd Climb Snow
Narration: In the age of 1880, in the American back country, a boy who was born to a farm family in Jericho, Vermont
made a worldwide discovery.
From when he was very young, this boy loved snow.
On his 17th birthday, his parents used their savings to buy him a microscope camera, and he took thousands of pictures of snow crystals----...
and he noticed
that no two crystals had the same shape.

why people work?
金が欲しければ職種を問わずただ我武者羅に働けばいい
If you just want money, then without even asking what the occupation is you can just work relentlessly.

Adachi: If you want to do it enjoyably, then without knowing about the compensation,
you can just do what you like...

Adachi: Excuse me, but what are you doing?

Page 11:
Adachi: For Bivouacking here tonight
this is quite over the top...
And if you're searching for something...
doing it along is far too reckless.

Page 12:
Mori: ...I'm looking for an acquaintance.
SFX: ZAH
Adachi: Both the police and the mountaineering association gave up on the search, and none of them will be back until Spring.
Please watch out for a second disaster happening!!

Page 13:
Mori: It looks like a snow storm...
I'm pretty sure it about 20cm piled up yesterday...
It seems like some will tonight, too...
SFX: Bata bata

Page 14:
Mori: I think it was around here was 3 days ago around here...?
There was a snowstorm all day so I couldn't get any work done for the most part...
4 days ago
was clear, it sure felt nice that day...
and a week ago-----...
Guy: You should be more sure of yourself, okay?
You need to proactively give yourself appeal.
Or else you won't give a good impression on interviews.
There isn't a single job for you.
If you don't meet those criteria you won't find any work.

Page 15:
Mori: Am I running away?
Even though I don't have work lined up, to be going to the mountains again...
The traversal is over. Shouldn't I make an effort in order to live in the world below-----...?

So if I aim for this layer and I keep digging through here, then for certain...
Adachi: Wilson Bentley.
In an age when no one had yet found any value in snow,
he was a man who maintained a firm belief in the beauty of snow crystals.

Page 20-21:
Adachi: All by yourself, with no one understanding why...
Mori-kun,
this is very much like the you from that time, isn't it?
