INDEX OF LEIJI-VERSES

Zero Desigze, one of Matsumoto’s new projects (screenshots from the pachinko game)

This Index covers all of my blog posts dealing with Leiji Matsumoto and his works.  It is organized under seven general headings:

A. Leijiverse Anime

B. Leijiverse Manga

C. Themes in the Leijiverse

D. The Leijiverse and Philosophy, Art, History

E. Links to other Anime and Manga

F. The Leijiverse Integrated Timeline

G. Miscellanea

The entries organized under each heading are arranged alphabetically.  A more detailed introduction to the Index itself can be found [here].  A theoretical exposition (with examples) of why and how I write is [here] and [here] if you can stand it 😉
