These "negative" chapters show events as they are occurring before the start of the main story and are not truly flashbacks.

The first volume was released on January 5, 2002 while as of June 4th, 2010, forty-five volumes have been released. An anime adaptation, produced by Studio Pierrot and TV Tokyo, was aired on TV Tokyo, with the first episode shown on October 5, 2004.
