 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article has been expanded 5x recently; checked via script. I think the prose is good. Looks good according to Earwig's; only spike is due to a quotation that the article quotes & references properly.
 * I think it's okay that plot and character descriptions aren't completely referenced, given that these are subjects of the work itself. The section Side stories could perhaps have a reference? Assuming good faith on EBSCO reference, Japanese-language refs (Google Translate does ok), & quote from Volume 19. = paul2520 (talk) 20:39, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I found this supporting source for the fact as well. ("Ash, whose character design was inspired by a combination of the tennis star Stefan Edberg and actor River Phoenix...") Morgan695 (talk) 04:24, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
