The first chapter of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Gaiden: Astral Buddy has been released in Japan and we'll soon be at the stage where we can begin adding information to the articles. Before then, I thought it might be an idea to discuss certain specifics regarding the spinoff and what we're going to be adding before we proceed.

Here's what we have at the time of writing from chapter 1:
 * Ringlet curl girl: Full name given as Hokaze Junko (帆風潤子), ability Level 4 Rampage Dress (天衣装着, Ten'i Souchaku, lit., "Heavenly Garment Equipping") which allows her control over electrical signals in her nervous system to increase her physical and olfactory capabilities.
 * 3 new individuals; the astral figure on the promotional image, 2 Tokiwadai girls (1 in Judgement).
 * Appearances of Shirai Kuroko and Tokiwadai Middle School.
 * Information that the story covered, the Astral Buddy Arc, takes place at the same time as the Dream Ranker Arc.
 * Not yet confirmed whether or not the overall continuing Gaiden will cover multiple consecutive arcs with different subtitles, or just cover the one here (with any other things in another Gaiden).
 * Title currently linked to Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. Chapter format undecided (would be a bit lengthy to include name in full (e.g. Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Gaiden: Astral Buddy Manga Chapter 001) and given the above possibility, possibly dispense with the subtitle for the chapter articles for the time being (e.g. Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Gaiden Manga Chapter 001)?)

Anyone up for some discussion?
