About the Summaries

The manga chapters contained in each volume are listed in the manga chapter section and the anime episodes in each season are listed in the TV episode section. Each volume or season will have a general overview of the plot followed by more in depth summaries for each chapter or episode in the volume or season when applicable. There is also a page of miscellaneous summaries that do not fit anywhere else.
