Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Toyble never advertised his first run of volume 1, but he implies that this is not his first time selling at Comiket,[2] and that he sells exclusively at Comiket.[31] Though he at least attended Comiket 72 in August 2007,[32] because Comiket is held twice yearly and based on what pages were out at the time, it can be surmised that his first run of DBAF volume 1 occurred on 29 December 2007 during the 2007 Winter Comiket.[33]
  2. ↑ Toyble uses this post a landing page for 21 - 40 and adds the final 4 pages at a later date.

  6. ↑ Toyble uses this post a landing page for 81 - 100 and adds the other pages at a later date.
  7. ↑ Toyble drops "Standard Edition" (通常版) for "Revised Edition" (改訂版).
  8. ↑ Starting with this blog post, Toyble no longer mentions which printing his books are currently on nor which version.
