Kimagure Orange Road "The Shooting Blues" Volume 1, Story 2 WB Volume 1, Story 2 Written and illustrated by Matsumoto Izumi This script is based on the existent script by Enrique Conty. Translation by unknown (pencil annotations found in KOR Volume 1) Original typesetting by : Enrique Conty Additional translation by : Craig Nishida Compilation by : Spencer C. Hastings Editing and Additional help by : Paul Hirose Craig Nishida Spencer Hastings Andrew Wilson Gary Kacmarcik Scott Henry Peter Norby Last revision : 11-11-94 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 39 (37) 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.
