Side notes: This time again. Nope not read it but I read a review that stated that this is good follow up story although not all the open questions are answered. it continues the story straight from the point where the prequel series left it so it should be fine to continue with this after finishing up the long series before. I try to add some more if and when I get this far with this story.^-^b


Main charas are the same as in the prequel series.^-^
