I just checked my books and in novel 7 it's mentioned (not be Shizuo) that there were rumors about a some guys being taken down by a kid in the bakery, so that is novel canon too.

But a well organized page with this information would be really useful. I have books 1-9 and the Sunset novel so I could help out with information checking. Explaining Shinichi's total absence will be long! Haha, we'll also have to mention how Akabayashi and Mikiya's scenes are cut out. Particularly the part where Mikiya is threatening Akabayashi that 'he's heard the rumors about him' or something to that nature, threatening him if he hurt Akane. And Akabayashi, reasonably offended, assured Mikiya that he wasn't into children which then Mikiya apologizes for accusing him of anything.

The anime also left out the part where Aozaki saves Akabayashi's life by warning him about his old gang coming after him. The part where he warns him is left out I think, not Akabayashi already knowing they were coming. Now that I think about it, so much was left out and that's really disappointing...
