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.
