Was there any lost panel in that 1st page?
I don't know. I don't have the original magazine, nor do I have any pictures so I can't tell. You see the slightly cut magazine page, I just found it on the net and edited. It is likely that many panels have been cut do to the added tittles and cut tittle pages. There is 1 other instance from volume 1 that I found where chibi Go Nagai talked at the beginning. I found this from the newest 6 volume print. Ch 11. I also found part ones ending panel, volume 6, this is cut in the ebook edition. Which I think is most important and I'm glad it was readded to the new 6 volume run.
