OV = Overall Volume number: The number of the volume disregarding the break and numbering reset between the First Journey and the Second Journey.
SP = Story Pages: These page counts are for the pages devoted to the story. Introductory/copyright pages and pages of extras are not counted.
TP = Total Pages: All pages in a volume, including introductory/copyright pages and pages of extras.
