Instead, I nearly spat my coffee after that nutcased Touko Matsudaira-like villain kisses Ranka to infect her! Furthermore, the new villain's back story was quite gruesome.

If my Ranka-loving friend gets hold of this... (evil grin)

The manga combined elements of the TV series and the Movie.

Spoiler for spoilers:

In the movieverse, Grace's not a bad guy, just controlled by Galaxy.

Yes. I wasn't expecting it to be so gross. Her death was karmatic but I was sad when she said to her 'sister' she was home.

What about Ranka? She was awesome too. I'm happy the manga didn't ignore her or make her a villain, instead it made emphasis how she made Sheryl happy (with Alto).
