Trivia

 * In the Japanese version, when Shea is riding the motorcycle "Steiff", Hajime compares her behavior to that of someone from Fist of the North Star.
 * Originally, Ryo Shirakome wanted to end this volume to where Hajime had arrived just in time to save Kaori and Shizuku.
 * The way Hajime rescues Kaori and Shizuku was inspired by the episode from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED "The Descending Sword", when Kira Yamato appears in the Freedom Gundam and manages to save his friends on the Archangel from being shot down by an enemy GINN.
