Anime and Manga Comparison: Karte 3: I Want To Hug Her

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

**Episode 3 covers Chapters 4, 12, 13, 14, and 15.**

## Chapter 4:

* The main events of Chapter 4 are inserted here way past the same point in the manga, and do not happen all at once, instead interspersed throughout the episode.
* When Ichikawa internally denies that his heroine is based off anyone, and turns to Yamada, in the manga she is sitting on top of and bantering with Chi, but in the anime she is staring wistfully out the window.
* Ichikawa's isekai fantasy gets a bit more lore, with him imagining a scenario where his hero accidentally destroys a city with the power of his cursed arm.
* Another of Ichikawa's murder fantasies is ignored, with him no longer standing over a pile of random body parts and blood with Adachi's head sticking out of it.

## Chapter 12:

* The order of the conversation between the nurse and him seeing Yamada's shoes are switched around, though the content is the same.
* Ichikawa has a line added where he contemplates murdering Yamada while she sleeps.
* He has an added exclamation of "Damn it!" when she gets up to leave and he chokes on the medicine.
* In the anime, Ichikawa does not consider that first period was running in regards to Yamada's jersey.
* A snippet of a conversation about Moe wanting to become a nail stylist is added to the anime.
* In the manga, it is not clear if Ichikawa even realized it was the picture of the heroine that he swapped out for Adachi's note. He wads it up before Adachi even tells him to do the exchange, and only recognizes that he still has paper in his hand as he's walking away. In the anime, he takes the picture with him after being given the note, and comments in an extra scene that he'll have to redraw the character.

## Chapter 13:

* Oota has a reaction added to each statement Kanzaki makes about how touching hands means different things.
* While most of the girls' reactions to Adachi's prank being exposed are removed, most notably Serina does not flip them off in response.
* Yamada's bag of candy is changed from the real "Milky" brand to the fake/copywrite-friendly "Milfy" brand. The tag-line is "Tastes Just Like Mom's" for the parody and extra dirty joke.

## Chapter 14:

* A bit of dialogue of Maeda explaining basketball is inserted into the beginning of the chapter.
* Yamada does not avert her eyes when Ichikawa meets her staring. Chi also calls out her name right before getting hit with the basketball.
* Yamada's bloodied face is toned down noticeably in the anime, leaving most of the blood on her jersey, and the path leading into the nurse's office, but removing all of it flowing off her hand.
* A bit more background conversation is added between Chi, Maeda, and the nurse, with Chi asking if Yamada's phone is in her bag, and Maeda saying he'll call her parents before doing so. Chi is also shown returning with her items shortly after, and Maeda makes the call from Yamada's phone in the anime. In the manga, he is using a different one (presumably his) and hands it to her.
* An anime-original scene is when Yamada is fishing for tissues, some of the items fall from her bag, revealing that she has the picture he gave her from Chapter 4 put in her pass case.
* The entire scene of Ichikawa sneaking his way out of the nurse's office is cut and instead just shows him back in the classroom.
* Ichikawa contemplating keeping his blood-stained shirt in storage is cut from the anime.

## Chapter 15:

* A bonus image of Yamada eating rice and lamenting her inability to taste things properly and crying, while the girls look on with concern is omitted.
