if I was to pick..... hmmmmmm i think what stands out most to me is:

Anime:

Kazehana's winging was much funnier and cooler
I like phase 3 ending here, destruction of the MBI tower was awesome, still hoping that happens in manga somehow. So cool to watch

Manga:

They did a better job of making the whole izumo inn team look powerful, not just musubi
Uzume's death and the hospital raid is very dramatic and I liked how they saved her here. it fits better than in the anime.

Definitely the Kazehana arc is my favorite Arc in the anime, and proved that original anime material not only could be done well, but can successfully connect to the manga canon. Everytime I rewatch sekirei, I ALWAYS start here, season 2 episode 2 with Kazehana sneaking into his room. And I can never just watch that episode, I ALWAYS have to see episode 3 with it lol.

In the Manga, I definitely prefer the beginning, cause a lot of extra material was excluded from the anime, which I felt should have been there. Specifically the irony of how Minato was literally seen by all of his future sekirei excluding Kuu. It really showed how fate really does get you, and you usually don't expect or even notice it.

As a side note, one thing about this series as a whole that I liked is how Sakurako confirmed the anime with killing off Uzume in the manga. The reason I liked this is because this filled A LOT of people with doubt on how the anime was just gonna make a alternate ending to the story. But her doing this proved that the anime studio DOES at least somewhat communicate with her, and do plan on keeping the thick of the plot the same as the manga, which is always good.

Agreed, Kazehana's winging in the anime is my favorite.

The manga version of saving Chiho was far superior IMO.

One thing I really like about the anime though, is having the story animated - there are usually panels here and there that confuse me in manga until I've been through them many, many times. I've gradually come to realize that the speech bubbles sometimes have very, very small indicators that show they aren't associated to the person they're next to, which has helped ;).

Oh yes, and having a musical backdrop for the action scenes is *awesome*.
