Anime and Manga Comparison: Karte 13: We're Searching For it

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

Episode 13 covers Chapters 58, 59, 60, 61, and 67.

## Chapter 58:

* To start the new season, Ichikawa reintroduces himself and Yamada, and reiterates that they are junior high students, to remind the audience.
* In the manga, Chi merely points out Akita Kenjirou hanging from Ichikawa's jacket, but in the anime, she pulls it forward with her hand to touch it.
* Yamada saying "I'm off" is added, as is a small scene showing Hara paying attention to Akita Kentarou to set up that she knows what is going on between them.
* Maeda-sensei calling Ichikawa into the hallway is cut, with the scene of them talking happening immediately after the opening.
* Maeda's examples of Ichikawa having trouble with lunch or taking notes aren't in the anime. He also doesn't bring up that they are seated near each other.
* Ichikawa complaining to himself that it's hard to take notes with his left hand is unique to the adaptation.
* Ichikawa apologizing in the manga is a conversation that spills out into the street, but in the anime they stay in the locker area until he finishes apologizing.

## Chapter 60:

* The order of events of Ichikawa being helped by Yamada are different between the two versions. After showing these events, the anime cuts to the events of Chapter 67, then returns to it later after the events of Chapter 67.
* During the segment where Yamada is turning the page of Ichikawa's book, they are sitting down in the manga, but standing in the anime. This leads to the single-panel thought bubble of Ichikawa thinking of himself as a baby sitting on Yamada's lap being cut.
* A fairly large segment in which Ichikawa has to go to the bathroom, he freaks Yamada out by absentmindedly saying he can use his free hand to get "it" out, Yamada fails to bring a handkerchief and offers to dry his hands on her clothes, and Adachi steps in with his own handkerchief is cut.
* Ichikawa fretting about people figuring out the deal with the Akita dogs is only in the anime.
* Yamada playfully tapping Ichikawa's foot when he shows her the picture of his sister is only in the anime.
* Ichikawa specifies that when he fell down the cliff, it was when he got the fracture in the manga.

## Chapter 67:

* Oota declaring that he buys every issue of the magazine is only in the manga. He also explains in earnest how the magazine works.
* Ichikawa's comments about Yamada's manager are only in the manga.
* In the anime, Adachi only talks about idol Yamada in a micro-bikini, but he goes into way more depth in the manga, saying he wants to see her do porn. Several pages are skipped in the process, including Oota talking about a relationship ban for idols, and Ichikawa bringing up Columbus Academy.
* Adachi doesn't whisper to Ichikawa asking him not to bring up his lewd fantasies to the girls.
* Ichikawa considering whether or not it's okay to bring up her job is a lot shorter in the anime.
* Manga Yamada initially enters the convenience store to get some family chicken, and just happens to notice her magazine on the stand. Anime Yamada appears to have gone in for no other reason than to show Ichikawa.
* As Yamada tries unconvincingly to make her looking at the magazine seem like a coincidence, rather than showing off, Ichikawa thumbs through it looking for the horoscope in the manga, but just asks about it in the anime.
* Anime Ichikawa is extra brave and puts his hand over hers when she begins to return the magazine, instead of just picking it up afterwards.
* Yamada also has her scarf on in the anime during their conversation, but does not in the manga.
* The single panel of Adachi bragging about his dream where Yamada got tricked into doing adult video is not in the anime.

## Chapter 59:

* A short cut shows the sign leading into the Home Ec room to introduce us to the cooking segment.
* Rin asking Yamada to try again with breaking an egg is added to the anime, and her second attempt is shown differently.
* During Hara and Ichikawa's discussion about his Winter Break, a whole conversation about using knives for cooking involving Yamada, Adachi, Kanzaki, and Rin is only in the manga. Ichikawa is also sitting in the original, but standing in the adaptation.
* The part where Hara ponders about the Akita Inu charm and makes the connection to Yamada's charm is only in the manga, since Hara already figured it out earlier in the episode.
* When Yamada is explaining where she went during break, she finishes saying that she went to the shrine visit with Ichikawa in the manga, but Hara begins reacting too quickly for her to finish who she went with in the anime.
* Yamada vocalizes that she'll help Ichikawa with his hair in the anime, and asks him to face her, but just silently helps out in the manga.
* To really drive home how much Hara has been noticing their relationship, a segment is added where Ichikawa drops Akita Kenjirou and Yamada talks about it, leaving Hara to make a smug comment about it.
* Anime Kanzaki calls out Ichikawa specifically asking him if he thinks Hara looks fine. Ichikawa gives a noncommittal answer.

## Chapter 61:

* Ichikawa's opening monologue is a bit shorter in the anime. In the manga, he starts it while walking to class and comments on the weather and his predicament.
* When the girls ask Ichikawa about Yamada, the original has the whole conversation outside class, but in the adaptation they move into the classroom.
* Moe's upset yelling of "Bayashiko!" when she doesn't make the connection to Yamada and Ichikawa is absent in the anime.
* When Yamada announces she has lost Akita Kentarou, the image of Chi and Serina's mental picture of a strong-featured man with curly hair is not in the anime. Chi also doesn't ask what kind of face this mysterious man has.
* Ichikawa considering giving Yamada the Akita Kenjirou charm is new.
* While not necessarily a change, a clock on the wall shows that the class is leaving at 11:30 in the anime. Maeda announcing this also gets a reaction from the students.
* Ichikawa realizing that Yamada is leaving extra quickly to hide the fact that she has the other dog charm from the girls is only in the manga.
* A bit of the discussion between Kanzaki and Hara about the keychain is ordered differently between the two versions. Kanzaki getting jealous over Ichikawa seeming to take the lead to help out Hara is also only in the manga.
* Ichikawa calling his mother to tell her not to pick him up is cut from the anime.
* In the manga, when Moe encounters Ichikawa on the street, she coyly brings up that she is heading to Yamada's place to give him the right location, but in the anime she is more direct and simply tells him which way to go. She tails him afterwards until he runs into Yamada, though, and walks off. This also causes her fake call to her "sick brother" to not make it into the adaptation.
* Ichikawa doesn't apologize in the anime when he walks in front of someone, who ends up being Yamada.
* Moe's text message to Yamada about Ichikawa searching for something is a new addition.
* When Ichikawa finds the charm and presents it with his good hand, Yamada grabs it with both of her own hands in the anime.
