Ah, those are not the Japanese manga, they're the American Dark Horse 
published translations. They were released as individual comics, 
grouped together into loose "storylines" and in a completely 
different order to the proper storyline, they even missed fourteen 
entire chapters. If you're looking for the Japanese manga, that ain't 
it. If you *do* want the Dark Horse American translations, you're 
better off buying the Dark Horse trade paperbacks, each containing 
six chapters. They are titled "1-800-GODDESS", "Love Potion #9", 
"Sympathy For The Devil" and "Terrible Master Urd", they cover up 
until somewhere in the volume 5/6 area in the real manga. Though 
they're still missing said fourteen chapters, they are at least in 
the correct order in this format.
