==Trivia==
*According to Shimamoto's afterwords in the 2016 volume, he based the story on the TV series' synopses and visuals, but due to the poor quality of the dubbing, he struggled to understand the details of the Kaiju. Additionally, as children's magazines have fewer pages compared to regular comic magazines, he opted to explain the early story with textboxes and start each chapter from around when Great begins to battle the Kaiju.
