Here are the edits:

Page 30: Akane's canteen of alcohol is translated as a canteen of "super punch."

Page 131: Peasuke's genitals are removed.

Page 136: The rock'em sock'em boxer's genitals are removed.

The images are on ImageShack for now but in the meantime I would really, REALLY appreciate it if someone (preferably involved w/ the forums) would take over hosting duties.

Dissapointing to say the least, depending on how much was edited I may pass on this volume. [img]/images/graemlins/anger200.gif[/img]

Other than that they replaced a reference to Nagoya dialect to a Boston accent at the beginning of "Bubibin Man." It was wicked flattering. [img]/images/graemlins/anger200.gif[/img]

This has NOT been standard for Viz. Until recently, there has been no information from Viz when they edit a title. I hope that this notice does become a standard for whenever Viz does edit a title (not that I want Viz to edit anything -- of course I don't -- but if they do I want the notice), but until we've seen this with more consistency I think it is too early to say this is standard anything.

This means that on page 30, Arale and Akane discover Akane's stash of Super Punch, and on page 131, poor Peasuke has been neutered!

I have a bunko edition (combines the first 2 volumes plus the first story of the 3rd) so I will be able to provide scans but not at this point in time.

Would you mind scanning those images (Viz and Shueisha versions)? I am collecting information on editted and would really appreciate it.

Fucking great. I just bought the first volume recently, and I really enjoyed it. Now they're editing it? What the fuck?! The first volume showed teenagers smoking, they left in that Tanuki and his giant balls, and even nipples on Senbei's porno! Why start editing now?!

Thanks alot Viz, looks like I won't be finishing Dr. Slump, Excel Saga, or Evangelion. You ain't getting my money til you stop censoring your manga.

Wait, Excel Saga and Evangelion were edited?? Please tell me more!!!

They aren't, but they're the only Viz titles I'm collecting (well, WAS going to collect)

There's a third edit, too, that I forgot about when I was reading last night. On page 136, Streets (one of the rock'em sock'em boxers that Senbei and Clinton Soramame are playing with) loses his shorts. Viz removed the naughty bits.

SCANS ARE FORTHCOMING! (I would have had them earlier if it had not been for a dinner party, a brief power outage and drooling over Johnny Damon.)

Damnit.. I really liked this title.
