**This is a comparison page between the twelfth Episode of the Anime and the associated Chapters of the Manga, listing notable changes.**

Episode 12 covers Chapters 54, 55, 56, and 57.

## Chapter 54:

* An establishing shot of the crowd at the shrine, along with background noises such as the ringing of a bell is added.
* Ichikawa's imagination diagram showing him having thirty minutes for his family visit, but infinity time for Yamada is absent in the anime.
* Ichikawa's father asking who Yamada is is added to the anime.
* Yamada seems to bow more specifically to Kana during her introduction in the manga, but in the anime there is no focus and seems to be to the family in general.
* Kana saying she wasn't prepared for meeting Yamada after the title song break is added to the anime.
* In the manga Yamada fumbles her words trying to explain that she's supposed to be here with Kyoutarou, making a pun off of his name meaning "tomorrow," but in the anime when she is asked if she's here alone, she simply confirms.
* Kana and the parents leave to give Kyoutarou and Yamada a solitary praying scene in the anime, but in the manga they all pray at once.
* The apparition of Fudō Myōō looking judgmentally over their praying habits is not in the anime.
* Yamada replies with a full-mouthed "Yes?" when Kana addresses her before inviting her to their house.
* Yamada beating her chest to force down the chicken before accepting the invite is also new.
* A bit of dialogue of the Ichikawa siblings bickering is added to the walk towards their house.

## Chapter 55:

* A close-up of the Ichikawa Home's door with a New Years' wreath is added to the start of this chapter's adaptation.
* Ichikawa's introductory commentary about Yamada coming over is only in the source material.
* The Ichikawa siblings bickering over Kana inviting Yamada over does not make it into the anime.
* In the manga, Kana is whispering when she accuses her brother and Yamada of being in a physical relationship, but in the anime she is yelling about it
* A close-up on the Ichikawa family calendar is unique to the anime.
* Kana's reaction to Kyoutaoru pushing her away for being too close is much more accusatory in the manga. In the anime she says it somewhat matter-of-factly.
* Commentary about what each picture represents in the album is only in the manga.

## Chapter 56:

* Several panels of Ichikawa getting up and walking up to his room, with Yamada in tow, are cut, though much of the internal dialogue still remains.
* None of the titles of the books on Ichikawa's shelf (Word Whirlpool, Science of Vices, and Re:Zero: Starting Life In Another World) are legible in the anime.
* Anime Ichikawa is a bit more perceptive to his manga counterpart and asks why Yamada knows where he is in the yearbook, before she explains she saw him in Chi's copy.
* Yamada pouts and scoots over to get closer to Ichikawa on his bed in the adaptation.
* Ichikawa reacts much more drastically to Yamada seeing his books on murder and psychology in the source material, thinking that their whole relationship will fall apart now that she's discovered it.
* A single panel of the Ichikawa family discussing Yamada coming over is only in the manga.

## Chapter 57:

* When Ichikawa wakes up in the manga, he has a cast on his arm, but he just holds the arm awkwardly in the anime.
* Ichikawa's mother addresses Yamada when she notices her in the anime, but in the manga, only Kana speaks.
* In the anime, Yamada spins around to Ichikawa's other side to support his bag while he fishes through it.
* Ichikawa spills his books at a different point in the conversation between the two versions, and some of the dialogue is moved around or missing.
* Ichikawa chasing Moe after her "you did it?" comment is not in the anime, nor is Ichikawa's comment about his "troublesome school life."
* An anime-original ending scene is Yamada offering Ichikawa a snack, faking him out with an empty bag, but then offering him a candy for real afterwards.
