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, the sound effects next to Chirean and Lisyan are part of their names. The English edition does not carry this over with Chimecho and Chingling, instead having "TING" and "CLANG".
