Those are the best scans available currently. The manga will be officially released fully in English next year, but until then, the Mangasee scans are the best translated ones available.

Reminder to only bother reading up to 136, since the timeskip after that drastically lowers the quality of the series and the first part had a perfect ending with no loose ends to make it essential anyway.

I'd say read up to the end of the final Part 1 battle, and then skip to the Bolge chapters (about the last 5-6 chapters or so I think?). Kenshiro has some cool lines in the actual finale of the series, even if basically the entirety of Part 2 which builds up to that moment is

You don't really need to know anything that happened in Part 2 (which is mostly garbage) to follow the last few chapters. All you need to keep in mind is that the characters got older and a few lost their memories, that's all.

Yea. It at least seems to have some direction and it’s not as episodic as other things that I’ve read. It does bother me how quickly things move from one plot point to the next with no transition at all. Suddenly you are immersed into the next mini arc with no backstory.

Yeah, I'm not sure how it'd be really considered "episodic" after Rei's introduced when each plot point leads pretty smoothly into the next (Rei's motivation leads Kenshiro to find Jagi, Jagi's last words lead him to search for Toki, etc.). The only plot point that would seem to be less essential was the Amiba goose chase, and even that was required pacing-wise for Rei and Mamiya to gather enough intel on where Toki was being held.Super Saiyan said:
I wouldn't really say there's no backstory at all from mini-arc to mini-arc, considering each one has the connective thread of what the current objective means to Kenshiro (and, in one case, Rei) and things such as the Hokuto Brothers are set up as overarching elements between them. The only time I'd say this doesn't apply is with the events between Shin's death and Rei's introduction, which was more for exploring some aspects on the state of the world that further drives in the tones of the series or for establishing better what Kenshiro was capable and incapable of.
