{{Scroll Box

|content=
*Added a scene of Rohan turning two burglars into books.
*Added an epilogue with Kyoka's memory of the events being altered and Rohan refusing to mention the village in his stories to not endanger his readership.
*[[Kyoka Izumi]]'s boyfriend in Millionaire Village is fleshed out as [[Taro Hirai]], a once world-renowned photographer.
**A subplot revolving around Taro's amnesia is added.
*[[Kyoka Izumi]] is presented as Rohan's new editor and meets him for the first time at his house. When telling Rohan about the mountain village, she is also at his house rather than meeting him at a cafe.
*Kyoka's motivation for buying the villa is also to show moral support to Taro.
*Kyoka only commits two breaches: putting her finger in the tea cup's handle and answering the phone.
**Previous breaches like stepping on the edge of a tatami are pointed out as rookie mistakes.
**Her breaches result in her dog Maron and Taro being endangered.
*When Rohan turns [[Ikkyu]] into a book, his punishment is not Kyoka's death, but rather the loss of his right arm.
**Rohan turns Kyoka into a book and puts her to sleep for a while.
**Thus, he has to eat the corn with one hand instead of two like in the original one-shot. He technically commits a breach, but escapes punishment because Ikkyu commits the greater breach in trying to make Rohan fail on purpose.
