The comics were originally published on the liners of the VHS and LD releases of the anime, one strip with each release. However, since the series was split up into five recordings, one of the six strips originally went unpublished, and that was the second one. The third strip says in parentheses, その2は欠番です、meaning "number two was skipped," but it's easy to misinterpret this as meaning that number two does not exist. Scans currently existing on the internet are probably from the VHS or LD liners themselves, which is why scans of the second strip have never been circulated on the web.
