Very BIG file versions of the three images above are in Watari's World. (I love Thay's site!)
There are also scans from the booklet (about Tsuzuki) which is included in YnM File One: Nagasaki Arc.

Note: Each dvd or video contains a booklet; however only initial pressings contain bonus sticker sheets.
There is also a bonus of an extra sequence. This is a textless version of the opening and of the ending.
Lastly when the fourth file is released, a specially designed box will also be released to house the volumes.

Please email me if there are any mistakes and discrepancies.
