Other notes: What a doozy this is! I bought this as part of a stationery bundle from a Korean seller on eBay years ago, so long ago that I can't find the original listing anymore, so I don't have a lot of information on this. But from using my basic as hell Korean skills and Google translate, this is part 2 of an encyclopedia that was printed in South Korea, including character profiles and a episode guide for the second third of the first season.
I don't know if it's a Google Translate issue, but some characters seem to have different names; Nadeshiko is listed as 'Sia', Ikuto as 'Toma' and Yaya as 'Yui.' I thought SK had done away with giving anime characters Korean dub names by then (see YGO and Digimon for examples) by 2009, but it looks like I stand corrected.
As for the distributor, Dream Plus, I can't find a lot of information about them except that they do/did exist.
I have better, unspliced and additional images on my Google Drive here. You're free to take them for your own use, I simply ask that you don’t repost without crediting me, and please reblog/drop a heart if you do use them ♡
