Volume Three: "Home Sweet Home"
Episodes 32-43
Episode 32
Part One: The Black Widow's Bite
First published June 15, 1982
The cans of food Kyoko is carrying at the end of the episode are
her winnings at "pachinko" (which she has been playing all evening).
Apparently it would be illegal to let people win money at pachinko,
so the "prizes" consist of food instead. (Thanks to Kumagoro for
this information.)

Part Four: Soichiro Turns Around
First published July 30, 1982
A strange mistranslation here, where Godai is shown thinking
"Always thought this was a small town". The original has "chou",
which could be town or district; considering that they live in Tokyo,
district (or quarter, or neighborhood) would have made more sense.
