...I feel bad because I feel like I've already had certain expectation for this manga before even reading them. The manga are pretty cute and all, but as of the latest chapter compared to the equivalent live action's episode, I much prefer the tv adaptation instead.
I think there's quite a few reasons that has led me to to that opinion, mainly:
- Adachi had far better development in the live action. His feeling of insecurity, his introverted nature, and his thoughtfulness of others were already apparent from the very start, and all of those made him a really likeable and relatable character.
- Kurosawa seems way too...perfect in the manga? Whereas in the live action you've got the sense that he had enough flaws to make him more human AND still be a dreamboat precisely because of them.
- Fujisaki was such a sympathetic and likeable character in the live version. Her apathy for anything related to dating and romance and her bond with Adachi through the said fact was such an interesting development. I don't know yet how the manga handles her character, but hopefully it's something good.
- Ok this is incredibly important. ROKKAKU. BEST BOY. CUTIE PIE. Charming, cheerful, outspoken, loyal to his friends, goofball. Cue my disappointment that his character is totally not like that in the manga.
So yea, tl;dr the manga is cute, but for the love of god WATCH THE LIVE ACTION GUYS.
ikr! I love that they portray Kurosawa as a perfect ikemen on the outside but actually he's just a hopeless romantic guy who can write a poem in his head
