A series of stories retelling the tales of Yamato and his friends as teenagers, with a focus on fusing aspects from every version of Battle B-daman, exploring the B-daworld’s past, the elements that influence each character’s life, angst, and shipping.
This was my first real attempt at unifying the three canons (anime, manga, and game). Much of my worldbuilding began in this series.
