I just saw some promotion for the anime and thought I'd check out the manga, and here I am a few hours later having binged the whole thing in one sitting.
It was a fantastic read and I am henceforth also greatly anticipating the anime adaptation.

I must say the anime adaptation does not disappoint. It's very close to the source material, often frame for frame, and I love the voice acting.

I just have to wonder - it's now on episode 7 out of 13 promised, and it's covered manga chapters up to 23. How are they fitting the 31 remaining chapters into the 6 remaining episodes?

UPD: they made it to about ch.35, but it's still a great adaptation.
I'd also like to welcome anyone coming over to read the manga after watching the anime!

Ah that explains it
I just finished the anime and briefed over the last chapter, so was thinking 'wow this is quite different hmm'
If I find a chance maybe I'll read the manga, cos I absolutely loved the anime

Yeah, I find some of the storytelling decisions in the manga a lot more satisfying - not just the ending, but the circular nature of chapter 1 and chapter 50, for instance.
Also, I mean, here's your chance - chapter 36, where the anime left off, is literally two clicks away. Or you might want to read from the beginning, given that the anime removed the beginnings of the later arcs.
