Notes

Many of the characters in Shishunki went on to inspire characters in Yuu Watase's later works; Asuka shares a number of similiaries with Miaka Yuki while Asuka's siblings resemble Tamahome and Yui Hongo from Fushigi Yugi. Hayami resembles Tasuki (except for enjoying picking up girls) Youko shares characteristics with Nuriko, and Yashiro-sensei resembles Mitsukake.Or|date=September 2007
