I was talking with a friend about samurai animes and he recommanded this one. He said it was really good but the thing is that I had planned to read the manga version. So should I read the manga or watch the anime?

The anime is a good adaptation from what I’ve watched and read so far (10 volumes versus 9 episodes). For an anime that covers a 30 volume manga in only 24 episodes, it is impressive that it is so faithful so far. It is also a visual marvel. That being said, it is definitely streamlined. While this doesn’t not harm the narrative that much, you get attached more to the characters in the manga. The worst part of the pacing of the anime is how the characters don’t feel as lively because of how tight it is. However, it isn’t a deal breaker and the characters are still good in this adaptation.
If you want the best experience, read the manga and as you read it, watch the anime. It’s roughly a volume per episode. However, the anime is also adequate. I initially watched only the anime, but felt very confused by episode 3. Episode 3 is the only episode they actively messed up; If you’re going to read the manga at all, read the manga equivalent to episode 3 (volume 3), but at that point you might as well just read the manga as a whole alongside the anime.
Basically, anime is great. Manga is better. Manga also has some great art with a distinctive sketchy quality that the anime doesn’t really capture.
