I loved the manga of Wolf`s Rain :D
Just L.O.V.E.D it:D
Toboe is so cute, Tsume is musterious, Hige is lovely:) and Kiba is cool:D
Liked the story very much, most because Wolf is my favorite animal:D
But the story is very good, with the characters and the fighting with Darcia;)
Really loved this story:D
I almost cried, and it is a strong story.

So, I watched Wolf's Rain before I read it, and honestly, for the first time in like, EVER, I preferred the anime to the manga- the manga is usually easier to follow and it, like a novel, usually has more details than the movie version (or anime version in this case), but here... no. Honestly, I found the anime had a lot more detail and a better ending, not to mention, in the manga I found myself wondering how Hubb and Quent met and how they found Cher, and it was just a little tricky for me to understand. In the anime you see a ... lot more and I preferred that. Both have a great story, great art, and amazing characters that you HAVE to fall in love with, but honestly, overall, I'd recommend the anime over the manga.

I adore Wolf's Rain. It's one of the best anime ever written. The manga, however, is another story.
...Literally.

You literally cannot adapt a 30-episode anime into a two-volume manga. It’s not possible and they never should have tried.

The art is shoddy. It’s ugly and the wolves look like furry logs with furry stick legs. It’s a disrespect to the BONES team’s beautiful animation.

They took maybe a couple of the main scenes in the anime (but not even the important ones) and redrew them. It’s basically a storyboard of a couple of scenes thrown together into a book and called a manga adaptation. ...

The ending is nothing like the anime--in fact, there's not really an ending. Who are the people/wolves at the end? We've never seen them before and they're not even given names. Meanwhile the other characters have disappeared without a trace and with no ending to their own arcs.

Wolf’s Rain was a masterpiece. This? It’s a travesty.
