Notes
^ Kisekae Yuka-chan premiered in the January 2001 issue of
Shueisha 's
Cookie magazine.
[15] Its serialization was suspended for four years following the publication of the July 2008 issue. Higashimura returned with a new chapter in the July 2012 issue on May 26, 2012; the chapter's final page stated that Kisekae Yuka-chan would continue, despite a previous report that the 2012 chapter would probably be the series finale.
