Notes
- ^ On the cover of the manga's first compiled volume, the title is written in Japanese as 「聖14グラフィティ」, with furigana clarifying that 「聖」 is meant to be read as the English word "saint" (セント, sento) and "14" is meant to be read as the English word "fourteen" (フォーティーン, fōtīn). Shogakukan rendered the title in English as "St. 14 Graffiti" on telephone cards and other merchandise sold in Japan.
