My understanding is that this would be part of the Viz license, so unless there is good proof it isn't, then asking is a good way to get yourself banned. Please do not ask for links for either licensed manga or for raws, read our forum rules.

Lov*Com volume 7 just released:
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Lov...1517407/?itm=1

Picked it up a few days ago..... its just really nice how the anime managed to follow the manga while necessarily condensing it. Reading the manga I just get more in depth and more transitioning scenes without feeling like I'm getting a track switch.

sidenote: its always amusing watching the wide-eyed looks I get from the Naruto/Bleach subset at the manga rack when I pick things like this up .....

Having finished the show today I'm wondering, how well does the anime cover the events of the manga? 17 volumes covered in 24 episodes, it seems like a lot would be lost.

Vexx · 2009-02-27, 03:06

The anime adaptation had the complete series to work with so it covers the material nicely though it does trim a lot of "in-betweens" out. The anime trims out some sidestories some of Risa's competition gets trimmed down.

But having watched the anime first and read the manga -- I've been quite happy and have gotten even more impressed with the anime's adaptation.

I'd say its was a bit like watching LOTR in the theatre and then getting to watch the extended version at home.

I've been meaning to give this series a go for a while now, and really must very soon

This is one of my favorite mangas. I was so happy when risa finally got what she wanted and the fact that she didn't give up, it paid up for her.

KimmyChan · 2009-05-05, 04:26

It looks a lot of fun and very enjoyable, with really liKeable characters

Vexx · 2009-05-05, 13:08

You're also in the nice position of having most of the books available for a running marathon. So far though, not a single volume has really disappointed me. The anime followed the manga well... yet there are many many in-between moments in the manga and differences that make it an enjoyable read.

KimmyChan · 2009-05-06, 05:34

I'm sure that it should be pretty freely available to buy from my usual online bookstore here in the UK

ShootingStars · 2009-08-04, 07:34

After watching this wonderful series 2 times, and the movie, I finally got the time to read Vol. 1-15.8... I think its only 1 more chapter to be scanlated until this series ends. I loved how Risa never gave up haha.

Vexx · 2010-02-11, 00:27

The english release of the manga has wrapped up the main story line in volume 16 but a "last volume" epilog is due out in March (Viz).

Overall, I was impressed with how the anime adaptation tracked the manga... while the manga has many more subplots and sidestories which had to be dropped due to time constraints of the anime.

All-in-all this is one of the few anime/manga combos where I've enjoyed both interpretations (Mahoraba ~Heartful Days~ being another).
