She still looked saddened by the realization.

I say we all cheer her up! Ill get the costumes!

Mio is an attempt to parody the Tall, Dark and Bishoujo trope. While her fears show off her soft side (along with her shyness), her physical attributes and knuckle sandwiches do place her squarely within the trope.

After watching Ep 12 , i started check out the manga and actually really like how the manga sort out character's personalities.

Certainly i love several moments and details where anime played a much better role, still the anime directorship/adaptation need lots more improvement

Also, realised several screen of OP is actually from the manga (e.g Ritsu's when she bribing Mio....)

Spoiler for Ch 26:

-Mio's childish side. Yay!!!! Her "I'm a woman with big hands and cold-heart" was just pure of win

Tsumugi and bucket of ice water......... xD

Spoiler for chap 26:

Ah, I want to hug Mugi-chan too! Ojou-sama, don't torture yourself!
And a double whammer by Yui for Mio, lol.

I hope the manga continue where the anime left off. Really I love this series so much, and I hope they do make a second season out of this.

[Mckendrick]

Its more than likely they will, since it was such a slpash. But it wont be for a bit, seeing as the manga is still coming out. An those darn translators arnt working fast enough to satisfy the K-ON! need!!

[yezhanquan]

I think the K-On manga serialisation is one chapter every 2 months. Hence, after volume 2 is completed, it's going to be one hell of a wait for volume 3.

[Mckendrick]

Well volume 3 chapters are already out on raws. Its just i have to wait for the english translations, being that i dont read japanese. DX

[CrowKenobi]

There is no volume three... any new chapters are from the magazine that K-ON! is serialized in (monthly since May of 2007).

[speck123]

There are 3 raw chapters after volume 2 out in MangaHelpers. I can't read Japanese, save for a few kanji characters, so I can't give a full translation of them.

[Justin Kim]

Wait so it is a strong possibility that the manga will continue off where the anime has left off at? Which was episode 12 T_T. (Hope they make a second season).

[MidnightViper88]

The anime follows the manga with the manga being released a long time before any anime episode even gets put up on a sketchboard; And with episode 12 going in a different direction from whichever manga chapter that performance was covered in, I highly doubt the manga will change it's own direction to suit the anime...

On the other hand, whenever they get around to a second season of the anime, I wonder how they're going to run with either adapting or reconning itself to the manga establishment given the anime difference...

[Tamad]

It might just be my imagination, but the episode 12 performance wasn't all that big of a difference. In the manga their performance sucked, in the anime their performance was a success... in the end they can both move on with their lives.

I don't see why it would be so hard to recon itself to the manga anyways, I mean it's a 4koma honestly.

[Willow]

Just finished reading all 26 chapters the other day.

Not really that much different from the anime. Some changes I remember are:

-The live performance sucked ( Chapter 25 ).
-Mugi's dark side. ( I like the anime version much better! D: )
-They try to recruit freshmen because they aren't recognized as a club.

Pretty much, the anime has stayed faithful to the manga.

[Jimmy C]

Furthermore, I doubt the difference in quality of the live event will have much of an impact on the club's future.
What do you mean they aren't recognized as a club? They registered properly last year, right?

[Mckendrick]

Well since they havnt really done any activies/more performances, or recruited more members i believe thats there not a full club.

Continuity

Minute they are, yes, but continuity will still change how some stuff plays out

Yes, but as Nodoka said, they didn't have a log of club activities, hence they are not recognized as a club. Forgot which chapter but I'm 98% sure I read that.

@MidnightViper88:

What do you mean by continuity and minute? I have a fair idea on my head but I just want to make sure I'm getting the same picture as you are XD

[[ Minute - The little details
Continuity - The major details ]]

Although I haven't read it. Are you sure you're not just thinking of the chapters before their live at the New School Year reception at the start of their second year? I recall that's why they were said to be desperate to get a new member at the start of the school year. Are they back at that point again? Not too suprising actually...
