Preliminary Spoiler

Preliminary (Unknown/27 chp)
Please don't associate the manga with the real novel or anime adaption. This manga is 100% fanservice.

The manga is basically just ecchi. There was no need for a manga version to start with since the series is derived from a novel. Would definitely not advise anyone to read unless they wanted to read hentai.

The manga does indeed include a portion of the original plot, however the intensity of the plot is weakened by the constant fan-service. The male characters such as Satoru, Shun, and Mamoru are left in the dust.

If you've watched the anime of Shinsekai Yori and are thinking you would want to check the manga version with the mindset that you're in for yet another incredible thought-provoking journey, do not take that step.

Personally, I can't imagine how a masterpiece-level series would ever have a poor adaption. That was before I read this manga.

Everything is wrong in this terrible adaption. The story which is the series' best aspect is turned into a pile of rubbish, by totally changing the flow of the events, which in the novel and anime are linked together incredibly well. The same-sex relationship theme which is essential in the ...

I've read the novel and saw the anime. When I found out the manga existed as well I was very happy but... How can I say it?

It's horrible. It is so bad I wish I never read it. The novel is dark, deep, it makes you think about life as a whole.
The anime is very similar to the novel, althought the animations are not always top tier it follows the story without changing anything.

And then there is the manga. Characters changed so much I can barely recognize them. The main protagonist wears bitchy chlotes almost all the time and the whole plot is blown away ...

This manga is horrible. Do yourself a favor and support the anime and hope we can get an official NOVEL translation.

The story has been significantly dumbed down in favor of fanservice. Honestly, I do not mind the shows of lesbianism because they are present in the anime. However, this adaptation exaggerates the femalexfemale relationships while completely eliminating the malexmale ones.

You may argue that the relationship between Saki and Maria is more important than the one between Shun and Satoru. But there is no reason to have several pages dedicated to showing their naked (underage) bodies rubbing against each other.

If the anime confused ...

NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

It's nice and all that the script seems to be largely untouched (even if the characters are husks of their former selves), because the anime (and, presumably, the novel it was based on) is fantastic, but this? This is like if Schindler's List got a comic book adaptation created by Brazzers or something. Why is there so much porn now? Sure, there was a plot point about subtle mind manipulations leading people to bone instead of fight, but that was never meant to be the story's central focus. And are we going to conveniently forget that the characters ...
