Okay, I went and looked and frankly, the posts warning "don't read the manga" are 'tempests in a teapot'. The story changes tone and the ending may be unexpected to some, that's all. Personally, I had a different ending in mind, but I'm not the author - its his story and the only question is "was it told well?" which is subjective.
Just a balancer post - like the mods say, this thread is about the anime as it stands. And the anime was simply brilliant and happy as a stand-alone effort.
