WOW! The major really is more human like here. She can be so silly etc, she's also quite the wildcat with a boyish attitude. It's like she's a freaking female cyborg version of Mel Gibson from Lethal Weapon or something. She even made that guy punch himself, lol.
Very different from her anime adaptations.
Wonder if later on she will seem more serious as the series progresses or if her more serious look came completely from the anime adaptations.

Wow! In the anime she was more serious and calm, but in the manga she is quite silly. It's kind of nice.

Yes. Quite different and slightly more enjoyable :)
And this, this is so accurate:

Just a little case (not a surprise, I always imagined this manga as a police story). But a lot about the imagined future is told through it.
The mangaka's notes are all interesting but they often disrupt the panel's flow (he even write notes under action moments) because I can't resist and read them as they come.

4/5

This is completely different from the seriousness of the movie. It's definitely a product of its time. There's some technical terms but nothing too hard to understand.

Also:
The statement below is true.
The statement above is false.
