Schedule Slip: Volume 9 came out in Nov 2009 and volume 10 came out in May 2011. (English releases from Tokyopop stopped at 8, long before Tokyopop's manga publishing actually folded.)

Enforced Method Acting: Kevin kept waking Billinda up early in the morning after only an hour or two of sleep and then immediately forcing her to record vocals. If you think her singing sounds "dreamy" you're almost literally right.
Genre-Killer: Widely cited as one for Shoegaze, because it was so good that nobody could top it.
Referenced by...: The play of the same name in the universe of Final Fantasy VII and its prequels/sequels is a nod to the title of this album. The game also features a reference to the name of the band itself, and the woman in the poster is a case of Comic-Book Fantasy Casting based on Bilinda Butcher's appearance.

Write What You Know:
- Georgia's experience with being aroace is based on Alice Oseman's own experiences with it.
- Oseman studied at Durham University, and so does the main cast. Some of the terminologies used such as "colleges" to refer to boarding houses are explained in the story.
