Is the movie more impactful? Should I read or watch?

They’re both great but I slightly prefer the movie.

You should still experience both tho.

both ...
manga is one shot and movie is short too

manga is really good too so you can do both .
don't need comparison .


like we can compare if manga is big example I want to eat your pancreas which has like ig 10 chapters while movie is for 1 or 2 hours only.

I’ll reaffirm what most people are going to say, do both. It’s not like it’s a few hundred chapters!

The characters in manga version of IWTEYP look childish which makes the story a lot less impactful imo

@BipulGamer07 youre right.. I feel same for that

That's why I like movie more than iwteyp manga .. also that's why I said we can compare iwteyp because manga is little big and movie is like one go movie so for that we can compare which would be better to watch or read . But for look back even manga is short so we can read and watch both because both are good.

I've read look back and I really liked that manga that's why I'm yapping lol

I've seen both the movie and the manga and both were good. However, I feel that the movie is some of its goodness is diminished if you watch it at home on a video streaming service, etc. instead of seeing it in a movie theater.

Both. Absolutely both. The manga is only 144 pages, and the movie doesn't even break the 60 minute mark. You can finish both in under 2 hours.

I haven't watch the movie yet but you should read it regardless. Tatsuki Fujimoto is brilliant manga artist and it's a shame to not read his works if you enjoy the movie. It's like 180 pages so it's not a lot. Start with your prefer medium then read/watch the other one again.

I'm still looking forward to watch the movie. If it's as good as people tell it is (which I have no doubt about it) then I'll be very glab.

Both are great. Movie is sliiiiiightly better, but without manga there would be no movie. Manga is great as well, Fujimoto really nailed the art (or just assistants didn't leave him yet, can't explain such significant drop in quality in CSM 2)

They made the movie really well that it handled the emotions well. Manga is nice too, really good art.But i prefer watching movie first, then read the manga.

Both are very good, so I recommend checking both of them. However, I consider the movie superior to the manga, and I'm saying it as someone who had read it long before I watched that movie. It simply elevates the source material, which was already good, to a higher level of awesomeness. So yes, the movie is more impactful, but it might be due to all elements offered by the format (dynamic animation, whilst the manga is a static comic). I say you should just check out both for the best and the fullest experience. :p

Honestly prefer the anime, it feels better watching it than reading it.
