Introduction
This manual provides instructions for playing and caring for your Tamako Market Blu-ray Complete Collection. Tamako knows all about mochi, the traditional Japanese dessert treats. When she's not attending school, she even invents new flavors and varieties for her family's mochi shop. Growing up, on the other hand, is something that she's still trying to find the right recipe for. With the help of her best friends Kanna and Midori, Tamako's determined to make the best of things, but it's complicated. Especially when it comes to her relationship with her best BOY friend Mochizo, whose family runs a rival mochi shop. And lately, Midori's been feeling a little odd about her feelings towards Tamako as well. And what's with up with that strange bird fluttering around, the one that speaks fluent Japanese? It's all very overwhelming, but at least there's one thing Tamako can count on: whether her day's been good or bad, there'll always be something wonderful at the end of every adventure when she takes a walk through TAMAKO MARKET!

Disc Maintenance and Care
Proper care of your Blu-ray discs will ensure their longevity and optimal playback performance.
- Handling: Always hold discs by their edges or by placing a finger through the center hole. Avoid touching the playback surface (the shiny side).
- Storage: Store discs in their original case, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
- Cleaning: If a disc becomes dirty or smudged, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe from the center of the disc outwards in a straight line, not in a circular motion. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Scratches: While Blu-ray discs are relatively durable, deep scratches can affect playback. Handle with care to prevent damage.
