| So I finished some time ago two shows that I loved (Claymore,Tonari no Kaibutsu kun) but I am not sure where should I begin to read the manga and by this I mean from the beginning of it (in case it might have some elements that the anime didn't show) or from the chapter that continues the action of the anime(I know that the ending of Claymore wasn't exactly as in the manga,but there is a little connection with the battle of the north in both)?Any help is appreaciated. |
| I always start at chapter 1 and read the manga in chronological order. The manga is a bit different and I personally prefer it to rewatching. |
  |
| If you have the time, begin reading from chapter 1. If you don`t have the time, start reading from some chapters before the anime ending and manga intertwine. This is due to the fact that most endings in anime sway away from the truth in the manga, because the studios want to create a satisfying conclusion. |

I can only tell you about Claymore since I haven't seen or read the other. First I have to agree with everyone else... It's better to start from the beginning. Although I have to admit that till we reach the part of the battle in the north the anime followed the plot of the manga. If you don't want to read all the story my advice would to start from the battle of the north since this was where the anime chose a different path XD that is in chapter 50. |

| Thanks a lot for your opinion everyone,as for Claymore I will start from where is the alternate ending but I do have a little question,is it fair to consider the manga done on my manga list when I will finish it if I start from vol 11? xD |

| I always like to start from chapter 1, because there tend to be quite a few differences between the anime and manga, and even if they're just slight differences, it's interesting to see how it was originally created! |
| Begin from the start obviously. Anime is a shorter version of manga so don't skip any chapters. |
