This link was made after a language model re-read the damaged OCR (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro); the reading was accepted only because the number and date or title it reported agree with the catalog. Its note: “The renewal number of interest was unreadable, but the surrounding lines contain a complete renewal record for 'DIARY OF THE RACING PIGEON'. The 'DEVIL IN WHITE' line is a cross-reference to a serial chapter and is not a renewal record itself.”
