## Anime and Manga Differences

* The scene where Ocelot and Anastasia rode on a horse and Sariphi flew on Bennu towards the capital is not shown in the anime.
* In the anime, Anastasia and Ocelot meet for the first time as adults in the capital of Maskviana. In the manga, they meet at Anastasia's house on the outskirts of Shidai.
* There is an anime only scene that shows Anastasia translating the letter from Leonhart. In the manga, the letter does not need to be translated because it has already been given to the King of Maskviana.
* When Leonhart emerges from his chambers in the anime, Sirius claims that is he there to ask a question about the negotiations with Yoana and about Sariphi. Neither Sirius's questions nor Leonhart's answers are shown in the anime. When Leonhart emerges from his chambers in the manga, Sirius claims that he is there to see if Leonhart is troubled over Sariphi. Leonhart says that he has been worried since Sariphi left, but he believes that his worry will end up being wasted since Sariphi is much stronger than he.
* In the manga, Anastasia claims that she wanted to study the beast language was to find out more about her ancestors and to know if she was part beastkind. These reasons are not mentioned in the anime
