Two volumes of side stories fill in the middle-school years of several Crows characters before Suzuran High. The first covers the Ebizuka trio, Mako, Pon, and Hiromi, alongside Bandou Hideto and Bouya Harumichi; the second follows the fourth generation of the TFOA gang and a story centered on Kizu Kyousuke. Published after the original Crows manga finished, these gaiden chapters trace where its delinquents came from before they ever set foot in Suzuran.
