You say "only 10 volumes" like 10 volumes of text is a small thing -- I don't even want to think how many volumes of manga that would translate to (20? 30? 40?).
Compressing 10 volumes into twenty-five 25-minute anime episodes required massive slicing and deletion of hundreds of story points. Given that, it is quite remarkable that the anime hangs together as well as it does - and some of the credit has to go to the strength of the underlying storyline.
The spin-off novel is more of a side-story: "stuff that goes on offscreen from the main novel" focusing on two characters barely noticed in the main series One of them is Sumire's younger sister Sakura. Main characters do make cameo appearances or are referred to.
Here's a synopsis and review (many spoilers, eh?):
