About this edition & sources
This fan translation draft covers the complete story, printed pages 23–219, the afterword on pages 221–224, and the photographed backmatter. Page breaks follow the book; unnumbered backmatter uses navigation labels. Japanese and English are selectable text, shown separately or side by side. Japanese pages marked as transcription drafts have not been fully proofread and may contain recognition errors or missing text. Page 139 is translated in full. On pages 164 and 214–216, brief portions remain clearly marked editorial summaries; the surrounding text is translated directly. These summaries are not the original wording. Illustrations were cropped, straightened, and digitally retouched for screen reading; AI restoration can alter fine linework, so these are not exact archival reproductions. Illustrations appear in every reading mode. The other volumes and EPUB editions will follow.
Book titles are recorded in Dengeki Bunko’s catalogue. All three cover photographs were supplied from the owner’s collection. Unofficial fan project. X-Men and the original artwork belong to their respective rights holders.
