<p>All the <em>Toaru</em> manga series can be divided into several different categories:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Main series</strong>: These contain canon storylines. I bolded the main series titles in the list above. The <em>Index</em> manga is an adaptation of the original light novels. <em>Railgun</em>, <em>Accelerator</em>, and <em>Astral Buddy</em> are original storylines written by Kamachi Kazuma.</li>
<li><strong>4-koma series</strong>: Fun silly spinoff manga, similar to what <em>Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth</em> is for <em>Naruto</em> or what <em>Haruhi-chan</em> is for <em>Haruhi Suzumiya</em>. This includes <em>Toaru Majutsu no Index-san</em> and <em>Toaru Idol no Accelerator-sama</em>.</li>
<li><strong>Special stories</strong>: One-off stories. Usually short, usually for an anniversary event or something like that. <em>Endymion</em> is canon, but I'm not sure about the others.</li>
<li><strong>Anthology manga</strong>: Sort of like a doujinshi collection, except it's official. Content is non-canon. Lots of different mangaka come together and contribute a one-shot to the anthology. (<a href="https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/48123/how-does-an-official-anthology-for-a-manga-series-get-created">This happens with lots of other series, too</a>).</li>
