Each volume corresponds to the same volume in the Japanese version, with same size, but uses white bleached paper. Basically it keeps the artwork of the front/back cover, and all attached posters in Japanese vol. 1-6. Since this is the Chinese version, there is no mirror flipping, but vol. 1-4 have even-odd page switched and an extra 1st 'title' page added that looks similar to vol. 5-7 of the Japanese version. Sound effects have been all changed into Chinese.
