NOTE: WBp#'s are printed first, Normal manga pages in parenthesis()
NOTE: Translation is done from BOTH the WB and normal manga. So depending on
which one you have there may be a few extra items.
Examples: The subtitles on page 83 (81) are only in the WB'S!
The one-page "Character Profiles" at the ends of the first
six chapters are omitted in the WB's!
Comments on the revision (CN): Besides inserting the romaji, a few missing
lines and the wideban subtitles were translated, as well as many missing
FXs, stutters, exclamations and honorifics. During editing, other lines
were modified by the members of the translation team. For the purposes
of translating, visual cues were also inserted to allow those without
the manga to also contribute to the translation effort. [This script is
not intended to be a substitute for the manga; you'd only be cheating
yourself...]
