Keisatsu Jidai[蛍雪時代]: "Those (bygone)Days of Diligent Study*"

(*the term keisatsu[蛍雪] referring to "diligent study" is a kind of idiom written as[蛍]: "fireflies" and [雪]:"snow" as if, in the waning light of day, you keep studying/reading by the meager light of the fireflies outside or by the reflection of the sunset or moon on the snow. The literal writing is referenced in the vol 5 cover with snowfall and fireflies.)
