I'm a fan of 80s and 90s anime and also watch a lot of modern anime. I've been watching anime regulary since the late 80s on french TV and started to collect anime since the early 90s, first on VHS, then on Laserdisc, DVD and now on Bluray.
My profile is not yet up to date. When it comes to manga, what you see is a fraction of what I actually read in the past. There's no chance I'll link to all my 4000+ manga volumes in my collection. When it comes to anime, I tried to update all movies, series and OVAs I've watched/own so far since the 90s from memory. I'm sure I still miss some anime, but I try my best keep my list updated.
Note: When I drop an anime, it doesn't mean that I disliked it or found it boring/bad. It often happens because I either know the manga already, or I started the anime at a time when I was either too busy to complete it, when it was still rather difficult to obtain it (pre-streaming era; buying on expensive VHS, LDs or DVDs, hunting for a digicopy) or when it was more than 1~2 decades ago since I started an anime.
In general, I prefer anime which take a "show, don't tell" approach. Anime like the popular "monogatari" series are just too wordy for me. I also tend to avoid anything related to the trendy isekai genre, it's just not my cup of tea.

You said your list isn't completed yet? So I won't be surprised if you already seen what i'll be recommending, do forgive if that's the case. Funny thing though i haven't completed mine either. It's just too much work to do. So I'm just not planning to complete it.
The anime has it's merits but swapping the chapters didn't really help the flow of first 3 episodes, to me it felt like yamada has been more friendly towards ichikawa than in it's manga counterpart. I get why they did the swapping though because some chapters could relate to each other, it really worked in later episodes, most notably is "I was used" chapter which was combined with "I keep quiet" chapter, to me they really blend well playing with ichikawa's mind, like how yamada used him to drive off haruya parallels how haruya used kobayashi to get yamada.
The anime really starts to shine halfway although yea the manga is really worth recommendation, especially the early chapters.

Some of chapters such as First day of school (Entrance Ceremony in manga) for example which I prefer in the manga version because it gave us some insights as to how Takagi fall for Nishikata, she seems to have notably noticed nishikata’s crush on her by the end of the chapter which helps us see that Takagi must’ve liked him back as result.
Manga is great but it just feels that their relationship don’t seem to go anywhere but don’t get me wrong, I like the manga to be ongoing and would like to see more cute chapters going. I’m just saying pros and cons but also say how Hiroaki shows respect for source material. Ofc I also give credits to Yamamoto being the original creator not as secondary but he (yamamoto) definitely deserves more credit.
