So depending on which one you have there may be a few extra items. Example: The subtitles on page 149 (147) are only in the WB'S!Comments on the revision (CN): Besides inserting the romaji, a few missing lines and the wideban subtitles were translated, as well as many missing FXs, stutters, exclamations and honorifics. During editing, other lines were modified by the members of the translation team. For the purposes of translating, visual cues were also inserted to allow those without the manga to also contribute to the translation effort.
