NOTE: WBp#'s are printed first, Normal manga pages in parentheses()
NOTE: Translation is done from the WB manga, so there may be a few
extras to those of you not having them.
Example: The subtitles on page 27 (73) are only in the WBs!
NOTE: The existent script by Patrick Yip is evidently done from an
unauthorized Chinese translation. It contains many major and minor
deviations from the Japanese and so was not used in preparation of
this script.
