    I’m in love with this show, so I went out and bought all 11 volumes of the manga yesterday. I’m surprised how faithful it is. Like, actually, literally almost every shot, every line is the same. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a studio do that. But I gotta say, the cast nails it in the show. Every hits a little harder, and feels a bit more “real”.

      That is the thing I have been most pleasantly surprised by the production of this show. They have really devoted a lot of time and budget to a show that is not in a typically super well performing genre. In an alternate universe, it is easy to see how this show is produced in a way that flies at a breakneck pace through the story and doesn’t have even close to the same emotional impact as things are stripped for time.

      So far, this has been the best adaptation I could have dreamed for. It helps that the source material is excellent to start with. Enjoy the manga! It’s a really special one.

        Oh gods yes, usually it’d be something that blows through the whole story in 10~12 eps and is quickly forgotten about. I guess it helps that the manga was quite popular, so they knew they’d have a hit if they stayed true to the source. Finished book 2, I can definitely see why this story struck a chord with people now.

      And it’s not just simply faithful. It isn’t a simple copy of the manga. Everything that differentiates anime from a manga is being used really well here and really adds worth to watching it even if you’ve already read it in the manga.
