Trivia

• As the English volumes do not have dust covers like the Japanese ones, part two of the back cover gag is lost in the English release. The front cover image is moved to the end of the volume and changed into an explanation of the direction the book reads in.

Errors

• In the D・P Snapshots section, "ターゲット、　ロックオン！" (Target: Lock on!) is mistranslated as "Rock the Target's World!".
