Notes

In 2010, the Japanese publisher of the series, Tokyo Sogensha (東京創元社), ceased distribution of the first two volumes. The two volumes were found to contain tsumego composed by famous Japanese author Kada Katsuji, and were, therefore, in violation Japanese copyright law regarding tsumego. Tokyo Sogensha's official apology: http://www.tsogen.co.jp/news/2010/07/10072210.html.
