Talk:Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Manga Chapter 040/@comment-24.58.212.193-20130612014409

I've added the dates on which the events in this chapter probably occur, but I don't know how to add footnotes explaining the rationale for each date. I'll do so here.

August 27th: We know that Index Vol 5 (the three stories arc) takes place on Monday August 31st. But at that time "Unabara Mitsuki" had already been stalking Misaka for a week. The events in the first part of this chapter take place on the third day of this stalking. We also know from Index Vol 5, Ch 2, Part 1 that Misaka reads manga every Mon and Wed. So that means it's probably either Tues Aug 25th or Thurs Aug 27th. Thurs seems more likely given that Misaka says (in Index Vol 5, Ch 2, Part 14) that Unabara has been harassing her all week, and not for over a week.

September 1st: This is the day the fall term begins.

September 14th: This scene occurs in the Prologue of Index Vol 8.
