There appear to be competing claims regarding the year this volume was published.
This is notably important as it is rumored Kyabetsu-Batake de Tsumazuite is the earliest usage of the phrase Lolita Complex (or lolicon) in Japanese manga, predating the 1979 usage in Cybele and Lupin.
1974 - "Otaku and the Struggle for Imagination in Japan" by Professor Patrick W. Galbraith (page 28)
1976 - https://mangalist.com/series/asuka-futatabi/
1978 - https://manga-republic.com/product/product_page_717.html
Wondering if anyone might have a copy of this and if they could tell me if the publication year is present anywhere on the volume, possibly take a photograph of it?
