The novels are the closest to the actual show, I understand, but they both enhance and contradict it, which also applies to the Kallen-centric novel. Unless the reader chooses to selectively apply bits and pieces (accepting the novels as canon only to the extent they don't contradict the series), I'd say they aren't really on the same level as the Picture Dramas or the season one Sound Drama tracks (which don't, or shouldn't at least, contradict anything in the first place). |

Only things I have heard that are canon are the Picture Dramas. The audio dramas I think are a different story since on a few occasions they tend to play with events. Like the one of Shirley working up the courage to ask Lelouch to the concert. Though they both pretty much started and ended the same way. There is also the R2 audio drama where all the girl in the cast, except TainZi, talk about the sports that Lelouch could beat Suzaku in. So I guess it's safe to say that the Picture Dramas are canon, but the Audio Dramas are a mixed bag. I think the audio drama "A Woman's Battle" could be considered canon, because Tamaki and C.C. kind of make a reference to the events in the episode 19 or 20 of the first season. Tamaki made a comment about how 'Zero's mistress' has no right to be giving orders, or butting in on official business; and C.C. remarks how she's already told him he's wrong. Prior to that scene I don't believe he had accused her of being Zero's mistress in a scene on the show. That's one Audio Drama I wish they would of made into a Picture Drama if just for some of the funny reactions we could of gotten of Kallen. I did hear that these "bokurano hibi" short stories are canon, but I haven't confirmed with a reliable source. http://rebeleleven.livejournal.com/tag/bokura+no+hibi They have some nice ones of Kallen. There is one of Kallen talking with Nunnally, Kallen fantasizing about Zero, Kallen being 'molested' by Milly, and one where Lelouch is purposely teasing Kallen.

Light novel is basically a novel with a few illustrations here and there. Basically, it's all text. Manga, on the other hand, is just a collection of pictures with captions in between. One is more visual and the other one is more textual, basically.

Mangas are comics and Light novels are just texted books with little to no pictures.

That bank robbery was another fine example of Lelouch teasing Kallen. When the robbers threaten to hurt Kallen, Lelouch says he couldn't care less. It's not like she's his girlfriend or anything, he says nonchalantly. Quote:
Or better yet, there should have been a written version of the Beautiful Record of the Rebellion, chronicling C.C. and Kallen's one year together before the beginning of R2. I read somewhere that Kallen was working in a fast food chain when C.C. found her. It would have been fun to know more about that. Last edited by blottyparchment; 2008-10-05 at 08:30. |

And yeah, I wish they would expand more on Kallen in side materials. I'm disappointed that she appears so little in the recent sound episodes, more like she only appeared once! |
