Which page was the Kuroko/Frenda argument omake on?

Volume 5 of the manga.

I just finished watching railgun the anime and was wondering.

Does the manga show misaka's past? like how she went from a level 1 to 5 and stuff

or atleast how kuroko and misaka got to know each other?

No and no. It shows a couple glimpses of her past, but nothing you haven't seen in either of the anime seasons.

Kuroko and Mikoto got to "meet" each other during last year Autumn when Mikoto saved Kuroko from that robber with her railgun. (shown in anime)
Later after the incident Kuroko as Level 3/4 enrolled in Tokiwadai. (implied, as Uiharu became Judgement member in middle school and the robbery was during her 4-months-long training)

She originally was in her own room and was not interested in Mikoto, hovewer, Kuroko eventually fallen in love with her (described in manga only, not shown in anime)
June 23. she "legaly" replaced Mikoto's previous roomate and became the Kuroko we know today. (shown in anime)

^^i see. Thanks! One last question. Has the author said how many volumes/chapters the manga is going to be?

Not that I wanted to end : p

Kamachi never said how many volumes of the manga he will make.

During the sports festival arc there was this girl in Misaki's clique that was able to communicate with Misaka through telepathy. Isn't Misaka immune to it since she is unaffected by mental out which is just a powered up version of telepathy?

Normal telepathy seems to work through mechanical waves (vibration on the air). That way it works like a telephone were the sound is transmitted through invisible wires in the air.

Misaki's power seems to work through electromagnetic waves that she use to affect others brains. Misaki's "telepathy" is more like writing on the person brain the information she wants to tell them. And as electromagnetic waves, it can be blocked by Misaka's barrier.

Is the liquid metal girl Kouzaku Mitori the same person as the middleman for Member whose name is Kousaku? When the magician with the bone sword confronted the liquid metal, the name Kousaku was used in the diagram explaining where the orders were coming from, but before that Kuroko looked up the person with the liquid metal ability the name was spelled Kouzaku.

How many short bonus manga previews (e.g. PSP, LAC, EnK etc) are there in total?

If you include the Index series ones there are 9 total (6 long 3 short).

Only four would be considered Railgun stories (Liberal Arts City, Shopping mall, Jihanki no Fanfare and the PSP one (although the PSP one is not canon and almost completely irrelevant, or make a lot of sense unless you played the game it was appending).

I guess you could also include the Uiharu SS that is in the SP volume too

The other stories are basically Index stories (even the Endymion one)

Basically there are 2 long railgun novel stories stories (LAC and shopping Mall) and two short ones (JNF, and Uiharu SS)

Sorry, I probably should have been a bit clearer with my question.

I wasn't referring to the written side-stories - I was referring to the short (under chapter-length), manga previews that have been made to promote some of them.

The ones for Railgun that I know of are the one for the Railgun PSP game, and one for the Liberal Arts City (which I learnt about recently).

What I was wondering about was whether there existed a similar manga preview for the Russian Shopping Centre or any of the other similar side-stories.

There was one for the Endymion movie retcon as well. :eyespin: I don't remember any of the others off the top of my head.

After Mugino fights Misaka, Mugino finds out about the project and says, "I see. That's why they chose Item...". Why was Item chosen?
