This thread is for anime-only viewers who plan on reading the manga after the anime is over. Seeing as to how the anime differs from the manga to a certain extent, I plan on listing what chapters each episode covered and also what chapters some episode made references of (if there are any) to show the anime-onlys what the anime skipped and adapted. Others may pitch in as well. :) If I made any mistakes, feel free to correct me. And also, couldn't think of a better title. XD I will be updating this with every new episode.
Episode 1: Beginning

Chapter 7 Pg. 12 (Stephen King book first appearance)
Chapter 23 Pg. 17 Panels 2-7 and Pg. 18 Panels 1-2 (Miki's oishii)

Notes: - A lot of the scenes from chapter 20 that I pointed out weren't shown, but they did happen to lead to the next scenes. So, I'll just add them in.
- Yuki and Yuuri switched roles in the pages I referred to in chapter 21
Chapters not adapted: 8, 9, 15, 16, 23-28 (yes, that whole arc)
Some important events the anime may have skipped thus far (read at your discretion):
- Zombie's first invasion inside the school and washroom scene with Yuki (well, the later episodes could substitute for this scene)
- Kurumi visiting her house
- Part of Miki's diary
- Yuki and Miki's conversation in chapters 15 and 16
- Lerche merged the general idea and aftermath of the helicopter arc into the Kurumi arc and skipped the whole heli arc
Since Lerche is jumping all over the place with the plot, here's a timeline for the anime-only viewers:
I agree with your order too, if we had excluded Miki prior to episode 4. My order was simply to help anime-onlies, but your's is the canon one, going by the manga of course. Wished the anime got at least one more episode or at least 15 episodes, then we wouldn't really need to add Miki into the first few episodes, since her character development in the manga was enough. GG could have finished at 12/13 episodes and released the final few as OVA's, kinda like Kokoro Connect and Bakemonogatari. But, what's done is done. The anime is doing well on it's own...even though it's jumping all over the place.

And so, the anime is finished. I listed all the chapters and pages I thought to be adapted. If there's anything I missed, feel free to fill me in.
Not sure if a season two is possible now considering
they didn't really develop Rii's mentality breaking down to the point where she would become Yuki 2.0. This would mean that when she does get to that point, people will call that rushing or out of nowhere.
But we'll see if Lerche decides to make another season.
Xenocrisi said: RIP chapter 22 aka best flashback chapter.
Wished the original author would have just adapted his original story rather than rewriting it for the anime. Sometimes, it's better to leave things the way they are. If the first 14 pages of Ch. 22 were adapted, I think it would have fit with episode 8's ending better than episode 9's filler, considering it is consistent to the girls in the present and Megu-nee in the past finding out about the safety manual. As much as I cried for Tarou's death, he really was a plague for the anime.

For an anime-only person I think that they developed her a little at the end of the last episode (when she sees megu-nee).

Am I right?
She could've just been saying her final goodbye to Megu-nee because that bear seems to represent her. Dunno why the bear wasn't taken as it's important to Rii in the manga.
