| Hi there, i just wanted to encourage those who never touched a Manga. Firstly let me say that the Manga of this series is great. There are tons of great Manga out there similar to this one, if you like these kind of stories. Put up some music and start slow... and you'll enjoy it. If you have kids around they might also build a interest for reading in general. In short, you're slaying 2 birds with one shot. Try it out at least. Once you got used to it, you should also try reading some novels. It's awesome. Have a nice day. |
| This show would have done well with a 2 cour but they went with 1 cour so it's understandable that lot's of details are being cut |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| Completely agree with OP, and the anime is going on a "silly" route. |
 In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit? Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase. Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality. |

But usually manga adaptations are more accurate, cuz the author is the one giving the script, the artist only draws(there are exceptions.). |

| Yeap read the manga. I am pretty sure y'all will enjoy it from first page to last page. |
| Hey, I‘ve already touched a few manga ~ not innocent/pure anymore |
| If you're going to recommend people to pick up the source, at least do it correctly and tell them to read the light novel instead |

And I also recommended Novels in my post :). There are some really awesome novels out there. For those who want to start with novels right of the bat, I'd recommend something easy going first like Spice and Wolf, which is one of the best novels I've ever read. |
| It always bothers me when people suggest reading the manga while the primal source are web/light novels. Web novel is translated up to vol. 5 if I remember right and you can read it instead. |

Well, good for you that you didn't had a reason to get bothered here... unless you didn't read anything and come up with your own conclusions of course. |
| Does it have more boobs close-ups than the anime? If not, then I am not interested. |
Only_Brad said: Does it have more boobs close-ups than the anime? If not, then I am not interested. I can't remember honestly but I think there aren't ecchi things in there. Not sure why but anime adaptions are always kind of lewd even though the manga is pretty much normal. But if you like these kind of stories, there are indeed a lot of manga with a bunch of ecchi material. You'd probably enjoy it. |
ZeroNation said: Well, good for you that you didn't had a reason to get bothered here... unless you didn't read anything and come up with your own conclusions of course. Ok. I missed your last sentence, sorry. It is just that people to often recommend reading manga even if books are available on English. So I am trigger every time I see such topic. I do not think people are that tired of reading to start with manga first. |

| The series is so cringy now that I can hear the dialogue. It wasn't so bad in the manga. |
 |
| I personally don’t like reading manga. I’d rather watch the anime. |

| Light Novel Volume 10 will be on sale at the end of next month. Manga is good too, but LN is also selling well at Japan. |
| I frown at recent installments of Persona and Trails of Cold Steel that introduce harem-like elements in the story. We need more JRPGs like the past Lunar series, where there are multiple romantic pairings in the party other than for the protagonist and main heroine. |
DjangoUnchained2 said: Well, sudden tonal shifts are common in anime, maybe due to the unique Japanese culture. For example, in Bleach, in the middle of a serious fight against Aizen, Yoruichi made some jokes.emolano said: This anime is suffering from slime sindrome. It is fun, but fails to delivery a good experience when it need to be more serious. Also the animation is a little bad. The anime and the manga too suffer a bit of tonal shift deficiency, the transitions between serious and comedy time is very poorly done but LN readers I know say that the tone is primarily light hearted/slice of life and it doesn't really focus on the heavy stuff. For example in the manga theirs a part about a corrupt bishop that is given a lot of emphasis while in the LN it was hardly that big of an plot point and is quickly glossed over. |
