Volume 18

This book is Volume 18 of the "02" series, a manga collection published continuously by number, with 12 volumes in the same series (volumes 13 through 24). The series is released volume by volume; each volume stands relatively independently, but overall the volumes revolve around the same manga work, character settings, or subject matter, so reading in numerical order gives the most coherent experience. Volume 18 sits in the middle-to-later part of the reading sequence, continuing the storylines or content threads laid out in volumes 13 through 17 while leaving room for the development of volumes 19 through 24. Because the specific contents, collected works, and plot of this volume are still being verified, no speculative description of characters, plot, or chapters is given here; what can be confirmed is that, as a regular volume in the series, it continues the series' uniform binding and editorial format and is suitable for readers who have read the earlier volumes and wish to continue, as well as for series enthusiasts who collect by volume number. Readers new to the "02" series are advised to start with the lower-numbered volumes to avoid gaps in understanding caused by missing earlier groundwork.
