I decided to read the manga adaptation a few weeks after finishing the original Anime. I thouroughly enjoyed the anime but was left feeling empty and fairly unsatisfied with it's ending. The manga on the other hand had me feeling the complete opposite.
From a story perspective the manga and anime run parallel up until a point. Once this point is reached, the manga in my opinion shoots leagues ahead of the anime and truly delivers the character and story treatment Franxx deserved. Not only does it do a wonderful job at captivating you with the plot, it also adds in information and backstory / character
...
development that the show just seeming brushed over.
I really felt like Franxx the anime walked so that manga could run as I found myself flying through each chapter eagerly wanting to know what happened next, even though I'd seen the anime. The ending also really is leagues better than the anime one as it felt more natural and "complete."
All in all I feel like the Darling in the Franxx manga is a brilliant adaptation and story in it's own right and should 100% be read / consumed after watching the anime to really help you appreciate the story and show a lot more.
