Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken - Vol. 5 Ch. 19.3

[Indivinity]

Aside from the diabetes this manga never fails to bring every chapter (and they question why the insulin always runs out), I always love the supportive bro characters and Itsuki never betrays us. It's even more amazing that he can read Amane so well after not even being friends for a year xD Like damn can I have a bro like that too?
Also for LN readers, I'm curious if we ever learn in depth about Itsuki's and Chi's relationship (especially the dad who apparently seems very against it). Like we get tidbits here and there but I'm just wondering if Itsuki will ever actually say it. Though it seems like Amane has a good idea on what it's like despite not being friends for a year. :>

The latest LN volume (which I just released our translation for a few weeks ago)

Spoiler: Not really spoilers but I'll mark it anyway xD

goes headfirst into the topic, and even before that, we had a flashback chapter and a few crumbs here and there!

Can someone spoil me please. Do they ever start dating?

There's an anime adaptation but apparently its not very good or something. I didnt get around to watching it tho

It's not terrible, but it's not as good as this is. Also, I'm surprised that it still covered most of the same moments or conversations as the manga up to this point, at least. I thought Episode 6 was going to start skipping shit, but it actually did essentially contain everything that happened since New Year's. I was expecting there to be more than the Valentine's and White Day arcs, but there really wasn't. If anything, I guess Episode 6 was the least packed episode yet, at least, since usually an Episode covers the same amount of content as three or four chapters of the manga adaptation, but this time Episode 6 was literally just Ch18 and Ch19, Valentines and White Day, and nothing else. To be fair, that means it was a focused Episode.

And the start of Episode 7 seems to be hitting the same narrative beat as the start of Ch20, as well. When is the anime going to start skipping entire chapters like I was expecting?

Also, sometimes the anime has more dialog than the manga with certain moments, other times it has less. Overall, it doesn't feel like it really uses the ability to have animation nearly as well as the manga with still images.

I will grant that the anime is what got me interested in this story, so I can grant it that much.

Well I watched it a long time ago so I can be wrong, but the anime ended

Spoiler

right after their first kiss, I think there was a sport tournament you often see in these manga, during it Mahiru takes Amane as a partner, so the whole school see they’re kinda close, someone jokes about Amane not being fit for Mahiru and she snaps on him. The kiss comes a bit after that. I think the thing with the mom happens 2 or 3 episodes before, so if you tell me that it skipped a lot, that means the real dating part is still far away, the wait will be long lol.

The anime skips a LOT. And I mean a LOT LOT. So much that I stopped watching it cause it felt worthless to me.

To clarify, every anime skips a lot. But here it felt grating. I loved the novel so much because of all the small interactions, the small step forwards, the natural development of their relationship. In THIS case, skipping over so much because it's an anime version made it feel very rushed and different compared to the novel.

Enjoy the manga, you're in for MANY treats.

To be honest, I was actually expecting there to be more things missing from the anime that the manga covers up to this point, but at least up through Episode 6, like 80% to 90% of the same stuff the manga adapted up to this Chapter was in the anime, too, and I've been going back through the anime in a rewatch with a fine-toothed comb, metaphorically-speaking, as I make my way through the manga up to the most recently-translated chapters. Just barely glancing into Ch20 and the start of Ep7, I see those are lining up, too. I'm expecting entire chapters to be skipped, but that really hasn't actually happened yet. Sure, the majority of Ch16 got skipped (and I'm a bit bummed about that), but just about all of the first part was in the anime, at least.

Of course, I'm expecting the later episodes to start skipping things more, but there's not enough to the manga adaptation to check that yet, and I'm not really much of an LN reader in general.


The anime's just clearly not leveraging the animated nature of things as well if the manga is out-shining it in terms of 'animated' still images like it is. The art, presentation, and overall execution is just better, generally, in the manga.

As a LN reader, I think we're only gonna see them officially get together would be around Chapter 40+
