For #19, some of the info is wrong. Some chapters of Shinu Hodo Suki are a spin-off about the son but not chapters 1~3. It's chapter 8~8.5
I would include this in the description, but there's a character limit. For that reason I am putting it here instead.
The following types of stories will not be included on this list: fan doushinji, childXguardian (unless there is at least one other child in the picture), child is an adult, child is only mentioned, child appears extremely briefly, child's POV only (it's okay if the POV shifts, though).
