Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible

Snapshot for posterity;

MD and Amazon agree on V5 starting at Ch45, but the chapters don't match.
Courtesy of Shiroi on Discord;

Comparing the list on https://tonarinoyj.jp/episode/10834108156702092071 to the tankoubon TOC and cross referencing the scanlations on MD and the raw provided above;
52 became 45
45 became 46
46 became 47
47 became 48
48 became 49
49 became 50
50 became 51
51 became 52
53 remains 53
54 remains 54
55 remains 55
56 remains 56


This continues to diverge, MD has V11 listed as 126-134 but Amazon confirms it's 116-129.

TL;DR it's all wrong, please help me, give me a big list of what chapter numbers need changing and I'll fix it.

Purely in terms of what chapters are in what volume (via https://bookwalker.jp/series/236130/list/):

Volume 1: 1-10
Volume 2: 11-20
Volume 3: 21-32
Volume 4: 33-44
Volume 5: 45-56
Volume 6: 57-66
Volume 7: 67-78
Volume 8: 79-90
Volume 9: 91-102
Volume 10: 103-115
Volume 11: 116-129

The first chapters in each volume other than vol. 5 match up with the chapters here (don’t have the volumes themselves and haven’t delved deeper other than vol. 5)

This is still sort of experimental, but I've exported a spreadsheet of the current chapters list as of today:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...ouid=103263681391509881737&rtpof=true&sd=true

Hopefully this is helpful enough for anyone viewing this, but it will certainly be helpful for us as this format can be fed though a custom script to auto-update the numbers based on the changes. The key things to note is to only edit the "new_" columns while keeping the original data columns intact for paper trail of changes made.

Feel free to delete any rows that are not needed to make things easier to go through. Any rows not on the spreadsheet or any rows that do not have any differences between original columns and "new_" columns should be ignored by the script.

If anyone has any issues, questions or improvement suggestions about this process, let me know.

Hah, funny, I actually contacted the previous group about this as we were about to upload some forgotten about extras and it would have been simpler to have volume consistency. They were helpful and made the changes I suggested to match the volumes. This should all be fixed for the English chapters now.
