Notes

The URL for Chapter 13 "ＮＡＢの男," uses the English "manOfNAB"

The URL for Chapter 14 "プチグソ牧場," uses the English "puchigusoRanch," which has been changed above to say "Grunty Ranch" for the sake of consistency.

The URL for Chapter 16 "未帰還者" uses the English "notReturnees" for the title. It has been altered above to say "The Unreturned" for the sake of clarity.
