Talk:Anime and Manga Differences/@comment-38094676-20200130054152

Now that the dust has settled, I have to say that while I wanted more at the rather abrupt ending of the manga, I’m pretty much satisfied overall with how Yabuki handled Mitsukoko. 😊 Whatever is considered lacking in the anime like more character development, the manga made up for it - Kokoro had a more proactive role in rescuing Alpha and Delta, we got an upgraded version of Genista, even a more detailed berserk mode and of course a battle scene that is more epic than the simple belly blasting one in the anime lol. Kokoro also confessed. The two had a mutual realization of their feelings for one another that wasn’t handled in the way I wanted in the anime. Like Mitsuru knew he liked her without any input from Hiro. And Kokoro’s approach was more natural instead of being forceful. Now the manga lacked the time skip part. But as shown by Futoshi helping his future wife from the rubble, it’s implied where the manga is heading. And this is where the anime steps in to fill up that part.

In other words, the manga and anime combined together to bring the best out of Mitsukoko’s story. And what’s great about it is that even if the manga didn’t show their future together, it doesn’t make Ai and her siblings any less un-canon, lol if such word exists. The manga simply ended before we could see their future.
