Hey so I've been reading through the Batoto collection and there are definitely parts of the story which are made reference to in a chapter that either end of played out later (ex. Harima recalling Yakuma giving him the onigiri for helping with the AC and the cat) or just don't seem to be there (ex. Harima racing his motorcycle against Youko's car). Now as I haven't finished reading, I cannot say if some these are actually missing or not, but it does become rather annoying to have a funny or interesting chapter spoiled in addition to not getting the reference. Idk what can be done about it with the manga being laid out in volumes but I'd wish they would try to fix it so other readers won't have to worry that they missed out.

OK, here's the thing, what you call "Misplaced chapters" are actually the extras at the end of each volume, those are "b-sides" of the story, although some of the plots are important or mentionated on the main story some are random and funny. The tanks had them like that so theres no "right order", even though the anime has them well placed.

But there are missing chapters, the volume 22 (the last one) isn't there and "school rumble z", a manga mix-up of random storyes, epiloges and part of the ending isn't either...
