Frequently asked questions
Should I read the manga before watching the anime adaptation?
Reading the manga first is often recommended because the original work features unique panel flow and choreography that some fans feel is better captured in the print version than in the animated adaptation. Additionally, the manga includes specific slice of life chapters and character moments that were omitted from the anime series.
Can I start reading with this volume or do I need to begin at the start of the series?
The series is a continuous narrative that builds its world and character dynamics from the very first chapter, so starting from the beginning is necessary to fully understand the relationships and plot developments that lead into this volume.
