User:Umeko/Shudo novelization tidbits
This is where I will make notes of interesting tidbits I find while reading Takeshi Shudo's novelizations of the anime - usually extra trivia about the anime world and characters that we can assume Shudo couldn't fit into the anime itself for one reason or another.
Can these be considered canon? Hell if I know, I'm just putting them up and other people can judge. \o/
But I'm being a dork and putting this up when I've only read the first twenty pages to far, so there's not much yet. orz
