(Episode 10)

Seems like most of TV ver of Episode 10 is this ep and less Episode 11 (real).

Beginning of the boy being rumored because he wore girl's uniform... full ver. doesn't make difference, it seems.

I didn't notice many changes either. Though since I read the manga and this is an almost word-for-word adaptation it is hard to differentiate what I have seen animated or what I just read before.

Hopefully the next one will be subbed soon~

I honestly don't remember how much does it differ from the episode which was aired in TV, because it all gets mixed up with manga in my head, since the adaptation followed it closely. Anyway, watching this thing made me want to re-watch the TV series. It has really great directing, visuals and music, and obviously I love the characters, aaah. Reading the manga now doesn't have that feeling, I'll surely end up re-watching this series and specials sometime. Now I just hope that the second special will be subbed soon. :)

I didn’t really notice many differences between the TV version and this one; spotted some previously non-existent scenes and dialogues, but that’s it. The pacing felt right this time around, though.

Ah, Hourou Musuko is such a lovely show indeed.

I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.
