 * Originally, according to some words from the author, when he was writing the characters of Kai and Omega, he had thought of making them the only men in Shadow Garden. But the idea was discarded, seeing the strong controversy that would arise with the story developing in the community. This is why the characters wear men's clothing, reflecting in some part of the author's discarded ideas.
 * Erroneously at the beginning, Kai and Omega were mistranslated as men in the Web Novel, before the anime premiered, which caused strong controversy in the Latin American and partly North American community when it was announced that all possible characters would be taken from the 3 versions of the story: the Manga, Web Novel, and Light Novel. But that would follow the Light Novel story route to which those translated were not fully corrected, until the full release of the anime and the game release.
