Edits:

1) Super-punch

p30- Akane’s drink is translated as ” Super Punch”, at the time of release this was listed as an edit on several forums. It’s really more of a glossing over as Punch can be mildly alcholic ( though I assume knowing Toriyama it was something stronger before). Here’s what Wikipedia says about punch in case you doubt me:

Punch (derived from Hindi word Paanch meaning Five) is a general term for any of a wide assortment of mixed drinks, either soft or alcoholic,

She is clearly hung over next chapter. >3

2) Boxers ( on and off )

In this volume much like Dragon Ball there’s a few cases of nudity. Viz have edited out the genitalia of Peasuke (p131) and the boxing figure (p 136). The lips of the Black boxing figure are also painted out assumably to avoid the racist connotations.

At the time of the English release several sites also reported that Gatchan was edited, we remind you that ‘he doesn’t have one’ :3
