Because the anime had the most limited number of scenes, it failed to show the depth of their dynamic.ģ.) The manga drawings are more detailed than the anime drawings. Though the manga does not perfectly capture their relationship like the light novel, it still does a better job than the anime. They also have different endings.Ģ.) The relationship between Holo and Lawrence is cuter in the manga than in the anime. In this sense, they fleshed out the story differently. Meanwhile, the anime covers volumes 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. While both adapted volumes 1 and 2, they no longer overlapped thereafter.įor instance, the manga covers volumes 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, and 17. They also seemed to alternate in doing so.
