| I was just wondering which chapter roughly continues on from the anime. I really like this series but I don't want to sit through the same stuff I just watched. Thank you in advance! |
| The light novel, the anime, and the manga, are all vastly different. You cannot skip in to any point because they are pretty much entirely different stories - ESPECIALLY the anime to either manga or LN, as the anime is complete trash and barely connected to the LN and manga. The LN and manga are not the same either, but the anime completely made up the personalities of the cast and took out HUGELY IMPORTANT elements of them, shat up the story, removed 90% of it while fucking up the 10% or so that's the same, and so on. It is a whole new thing, so start from the very beginning. |

| I heard about the vast differences before but I noticed that the anime follows the manga somewhat. I just wasn't too sure... I'm aware that Satou uses drugs in the manga and not the anime but are there any more differences than that? I was just curious because I really like this series and if need be I'll start from the very beginning. I have read a few volumes of the manga before but got caught up so maybe I didn't get far enough in to notice those changes. |

I was just curious because I really like this series and if need be I'll start from the very beginning. I have read a few volumes of the manga before but got caught up so maybe I didn't get far enough in to notice those changes. Yes, I mean very large differences, not just small little thing. I know a lot of people nitpick things and complain about how 'different' they are over the smallest details, but the story and characters are very drastically different . I'd highly suggest just continuing from wherever you left the manga last and going from there. You said you 'caught up' so just go from that point. It does get INCREDIBLY different the further you get (again, over 3/4 of the story is missing in the show, the ending is entirely made up in the show, and so on) but almost the entire thing has details that are relevant. For example, while it IS a smaller thing, that drug use early on is a rather large detail later on in the story in the manga, which if you didn't know about would make his decisions in some things nonsensical. So even the little differences are kind of good to know. Another problem is that the show has random parts from throughout the story at random - meaning there is no part where 'the manga continues where the anime left off' - because the entire ending of the anime was just made up and the portions before it were scattered throughout the manga and based lightly on parts from the light novel. So it's a bit hard to really set a point of entry. You'll either miss stuff that the anime didn't have at all that happened between events the anime ALSO had, or you'll skip important details, and so on. For example, skipping to the last actual event shared in both that appears in the show, you'd miss everything that was manga-only up to that point, so I really suggest either starting from page 1 volume 1, or if you recall where you were last continuing from there. |

| Alright, that clears things up a lot. Thanks for the insight, I appreciate it. I wouldn't want to miss out anything important in this series because it's a really great series IMO. I also think it's just way too underrated. |
