NOTE: [WBp#'s are printed first, Normal manga pages in parenthesis()]
NOTE: Translation is done from the WB manga. So there may be a few
extra's to those of you not having them.
Example: (The subtitles on page 333 (117) are only in the WB'S!)
COMMENT ON THE REVISION (CN)--Hitoshi Doi's script was again an excellent
one. The revisions were limited to the addition of the wideban
title-page sub-titles, about 8-10 missing lines (most appearing on
page 337 (121) the rest mostly un-bubbled lines), all the FX's, stutters,
exclamations/interjections, and honorifics. Besides being the only
appearance of Oda Kumiko, this chapter was also noteworthy for
Matsumoto's background salutes to science fiction, and these background
items were translated or duly noted. Finally, some lines were re-worded,
not because they were in error, but for aesthetic or colloquial reasons.

[Pov shifts so we can see Madoka's expression. Behind her is the source of
the gossip--Komatsu flips back-and-forth, pretending to hold the hands
of an imaginary girl. He acts out the roles of Kyousuke and Kumiko. But
since Komatsu doesn't know Kumiko's name, he invents one--"Chiemi"...
probably, then-famous idol-singer/actress Hori Chiemi--see chapter 1.3
"The Lip Secret". Madoka is wide-eyed with surprise at what she overhears.]
