Notes
- From the series record (The Guin Saga (English-translated volumes)): The four confirmed English-translated volumes of Kaoru Kurimoto's Japanese-language Guin Saga (Vertical Inc., translated by Alexander O. Smith). A fifth title once catalogued here ('The Wind Sword's Shadow') was removed as unresolvable after thorough research found no matching real Guin Saga volume, English or Japanese. The full Japanese-language saga (130 volumes by Kurimoto herself before her 2009 death, plus further volumes by other authors) runs far beyond this Core Canon; the untranslated remainder is a documented future research lead, not part of this admission.
