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 7 (67) are only in the WBs!
NOTE: KOR went on hiatus for a few months, and returned with this chapter
      in late February of 1987...  (Chapter 15.3 appeared in September of
      1986.)
NOTE: Kyousuke and Madoka end their junior year in high school with the
      "Under the Tree of Memories" story-arc (beginning in 15.7), which of
      course became the central focus of the final two episodes of the TV
      series (which began airing in April of 1987).  I am not sure if
      production of the TV series had anything to do with Matsumoto-sensei
      taking a 5-month break.

p 7 (67)--TITLE PAGE

[Kyousuke and Madoka, dressed for night out, stand at a mirrored wall with
 drinks in hand.  A low counter runs down the length of the wall--a place to
 rest your drinks.  A neon sign above them reads "Reckless in Tokyo" and
 printed on the mirror is "WBRU AM/  evolent St., Provide,
 fices & Broadcas."]
