Send e-mail to: kor-trans@gnu.ai.mit.edu 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 7 (5) 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): 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.
