Trivia
- At 576 pages, Magical Vacation Complete Guide is the series' biggest guidebook.
- When designing the book's cover art, Shinichi Kameoka illustrated Balsamico lasciviously spying on Blueberry, Lemon, and Arancia in the hot spring. Since this was deemed too inappropriate, Balsamico was replaced by a treeman in the final version.[2]
