Miscellanea
- The names of the volumes (except volumes 1 & 2) were also the titles of some episodes of the anime (ep. 25, 35 and 50). Also, volume 1's title is the only one whose English and Japanese version have different meanings.
- As with some of Tokyopop's manga serieses, the English covers of the novels are entirely different from the original Japanese ones.
