The side side story to To Aru Majutsu no Index is here! It's a great addition to the To Aru series!

The story centers around a major side character of the main story and happens around the same time the main story is. It gives a whole new viewpoint for the main story and keeps the same suspense and thrill. They even have characters from the main story popping out once in a while to make small appearances in the side story. However, there isn't too much to divert from the side story, and there's also not too little to assure that it's the side story. The side story is a new branch that grows along with the main story. It also helps give a good background for the side characters. If you love To Aru Majustu no Index, you will love To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, even vice-versa, because there isn't any spoilers for the main story in the side story.
