I absolutely adore this show! All the characters hold a special place in my heart! I would totally give it five stars, if I hadn’t read the manga afterward. I guess it’s because it was being produced while the manga was being produced, but come on - there’s some things that they could’ve added yet specifically took out.

It was revealed that Honey has a little brother. I loved that arc whilst watching the anime. I get to that part in the manga only to find out that the anime left out a tiny, itsy, bitsy detail:
MORI ALSO HAS A LITTLE BROTHER! HE’S LITERALLY BEST FRIENDS WITH CHIKA TOO!
Like it’s not as if Satoshi (The name of Mori’s brother) was like 2 years old or something, he was in the same grade as Chika. Why did they exclude a whole family member? Like what? There’s other stuff they exclude too, if I’m remembering correctly. Another example would be the reveal of the Hitachin twins’ mom.
Feel free to watch the anime first, but you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO READ THE MANGA! I’M TELLING YOU THERE’S A LOT OF EXCLUDED CHARACTERS/NON-EXISTENT CHARACTERS IN THE ANIME! PLUS SO MANY ARCS WEREN’T EXPLORED IN THE ANIME! LIKE THE HOST CLUB MEET ROYALTY, DUDE!
Anyway, just wanted to let anyone who’s planning on watching it know that. As stated before, I still really love it, I just wanted people to know.
