Trivia

 * The author wanted to do Kou's past as well, but thought the story would be dark; the main character is Aoba, so he did Aoba's past.
 * Originally, this volume was considered to be published as "Volume 0", but it was soon realized to be impossible to label the volume "Volume 0" due to the publishing rule.
