Translation edits

Much like in the first volume, much of the large busts and revealing clothing, such as the Nurses in ET06, was edited out and re-drawn for VIZ Media's translation. Unlike the first volume, however, Chuang Yi's translation does not contain these edits, as Chuang Yi's translation of the second volume was based on the original Japanese and not VIZ Media's version.
