Trivia

 * This is the first volume that has three characters on the cover.
 * The revelation of Ehit having been responsible for creating the Gruen Desert long ago is later touched upon briefly in Volume 11.
 * In Volume 5, it was originally stated by Hajime that Kaori could not drive his vehicle "Brise" due to it being designed to only work for those who can manipulate their own mana. This story retcons this fact, by giving Brise a feature that allows anyone with mana to operate it through a voice command.

Continuity Errors

 * In Volume 12, Hajime compares some of the ruins within the Sanctuary to that of his homeworld, to which Shea is shocked after hearing this and expresses her eagerness to travel to Earth for the first time, despite her having explored a simulation of Hajime's home in this story.
