-----> Materials
I) Images.
I scanned/snapped almost all of the images on this site myself. The few images posted in the Media section that I did not snap/scan myself are duly noted and credited, right there on the page. Scattered throughout the Information pages are a few manga scans and other images that I borrowed from other websites, although I often extensively edited them afterwards. These are mostly images of characters other than Mara (i.e., Keiichi, Belldandy, etc), since there were already so many excellent images of these other characters posted online, that I felt no compelling urge to scan my own. ^_~ Anyway, here are the image credits. Some are going to be redundant since they're already posted in the Media section, but whatever.
