Welcome to the new side content page! As you can see, I've organized everything by volume. This means that the side stories can be read after you've finished reading each volume. Both my translations and other peoples' translations are included on this page! Any story marked with (EMTL) means it is an edited machine translation, and thus will have accuracy and quality issues, so readers beware! LQ stands for low quality, and TSL stands for translated from a second language (a language that is not Japanese.) Also, you can find the What IF stories at the bottom of this page!
