Manga vs Anime

Most of the manga content was adapted to the anime, especially the early issues. Even some of the extra issues found their way into the anime. A little part of the dialog and jokes were changed in the anime version but most of the content was adapted as is.

The anime added a big emphasis on the country esthetics - a lot of well made rustic scenery that are shown between scenes. Although some of these do exist in the manga, they are always black and white.
