Yay, for Xabin... (flicks download on)

I'm up to date on the scanlated manga as well.... interesting differences. My main complaint about the manga is that the frame to frame continuity is somewhat poor at times. Example: the beach scene in which Asuta is about to reveal Important Things to Hazumu and is interrupted by sensei's fall - a couple of shouts of Hazumu!!! and suddenly we're in the train with Asuta beaten and tied "fnar". Having seen the anime, I know that Tomari executed her "protect Hazumu" mode but that was in no way clear in the manga. ((that has me wondering if the scanlation dropped some honorifics that would have made those speech balloons clearer)) ... but the panel by panel continuity jumps make it more difficult to follow than a lot of other manga.

In respects the anime is producing better results, though the manga is more interesting in other aspects (the art is pretty entrancing...).
