I think the only thing that may be missing in the tankobon is the chapter covers, as this did not get collected until after Tezuka's passing since he wasn't too fond of how things turned out (therefore he didn't redraw or remove anything).

The first 2 chapters were originally in 2 tone color, here they've all been redrawn/ textures applied, the last page was removed since it was drawn again for the start of ch 2, (but we moved it here because it makes more sense so). There are a lot of this kind of minor adjustments.

Thank you for the clarification! 😊(I do remember the first chapter being in nishoku, yes.)
That makes its situation all the more curious; he didn't have it collected when he was still around, yet he still made corrections... perhaps he already had it all ready for the tankobon, but he decided not to release it in the end? Hmm...

It is most probable that his studio also did those redraws since they're more or less just traced. Also, interestingly, the first collected edition, "Champion Comics Extra," has about 8 pages fully colored at the start of each book. I've decided not to include those in the scanlation, but they can be seen in the free previews Bookwalker.
