Upd: upon a short investigation, me and my friend [citation needed] meemm4star unraveled the knot: the three parts that I bought as a bundle from Amazon were actually volumes 2, 3, and 4 of the manga. The drawing is different, because as wiki puts it: "Volume 1 was published under the name Shotaro Ishinomori, but Ishinomori did not touch the drawings at all (drawn by Tetsuo Hiroi). Ishinomori draws from volume 2 on, because the 1st volume was an unexpected hit." I'm inclined to think this is also the reason volume 1 wasn't included in the Amazon bundle - the bundle is branded as "The complete digital collection of Shotaro Ishinomori" and the 1st volume wasn't technically drawn by Ishinomori. I solved this whole hullabaloo as I was commencing my work on translating the TV series. Turns out I was a massive Retadildo and had all 4 volumes on my hands all along. So I figured, I might as well throw them up on nyaa as a midsummer torrent in the absence of any real releases for a couple of months ~~and because I'm too lazy to figure out how do I upload them to archive org, provided they don't even get taken down right away as they are being currently sold on Amazon~~, now in the most complete incarnation of this torrent. Only two volumes were English translated, so I shouldn't expect any more of those to pop up. Thus, if you ever wanted to scanlate volumes 3 and 4... please take your pills. But also, feel free to, because I ain't gonna, I don't trade in manga. RAW Volume 1 ripped from Archive.org, quality is readable. RAW Volumes 2-4 ripped from Amazon, quality - excellent. Translated volumes 1 & 2 both ripped from Archive.org, translated by Betsey Schemer & Alan G. Gleason Some sites also [list](https://www.cmoa.jp/title/97302/vol/4/) a certain "Volume 4" of the RAW manga (would be 5 if we count the **real** volume 1), but I have no idea what is it, it's "out of stock," and I hope it's irrelevant to my cause. Man, I haven't even started on any actual episodes of this anime yet, but my head hurts already. ~~borked a bunch of years in the filenames, but can't be arsed~~ [MAL](https://myanimelist.net/manga/32715/Manga_Nihon_Keizai_Nyuumon) | [DDL](https://t.me/+Xc0NWTgB0HU1ZDVi)
