Anime and Manga Comparison: Karte 11: We're A Bit Alike

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

Episode 11 covers Chapter 50, part of Chapter 49, Chapters 51, 52, and 53.

## Chapter 50:

* When Ichikawa's mother is addressing her husband, in the manga he is walking towards the house bringing in bags, but in the anime he is adjusting the windshield wipers after the drive.
* Some of Ichikawa's internal monologue has him traveling throughout the house, showing off a bit more of the interior of the building when compared to the manga.
* Ichikawa's phone is on his person in the anime, but on the floor in the manga, and he is in less of a panic to get to it in the adaptation.
* Ichikawa's comment about his grandparent's place not being close to Yoshinoya or Sutadon is only in the manga.
* In the manga, Kyoutarou's mother is the one who asks if he's going out, but in the anime it is Kana.
* Ichikawa's "this is Japan's winter" thought while walking amongst the trees is cut from the adaptation, as is his "just a little bit closer" before falling down the cliff.
* In the anime, the sky has turned a late-evening orange to signify the time of day when Kana appears, and her dialogue has been expanded to her asking how far out he went. This brings into question how long Kyoutarou has been in the snow since falling.
* Kyoutarou falls considerably further down the embankment in the anime, and he first realizes he's hurt his arm when he tries to get up and puts pressure on it, but in the manga it's when he grabs Kana's arm that he first notices.
* The single panel of Kana and her mother first reacting to Kyoutarou's diagnosis of a fractured arm at the hospital is only in the manga. Their conversation about why he was on the cliff still occurs, but is moved from them walking out of the hospital to when they're in the car.
* In the panel with the Ichikawa family eating dinner, one member, an unnamed man with dark hair and wearing black glasses is not present in the adaptation. A longer cut of the simmering food is also added.
* Extra attention is brought to Kyoutarou deciding whether or not to hide under the covers when talking to Yamada in the anime.
* The perspective of Yamada on her bed is zoomed out, showing she was reading *Your Color's Octave,* as setup for the window scene.

## Chapter 49:

* The phone conversation from the latter half of 49 is placed in the middle of the events of 51 in the anime, as such, many details are different. Yamada's side of the conversation is more or less the same, but Ichikawa's is quite a bit different, as he is no longer in his room, and instead in Akita at his grandmother's house, in the hallway.
* The entire bit of conversation about him putting the scarf in a bag is, of course, cut, as the scarf is still at his house.
* Yamada asking if he has a drink prompts Ichikawa to walk back to the room to get a bottle of tea, since the one on his desk is not available.
* The bit about Yamada asking if he has a book available, him grabbing the CiEL magazine she is in, and he not being forthright about what book it is, prompting her to ask if it is a dirty magazine is cut completely.
* Manga Yamada brings up that she can't see the moon from where she is, which Manga Ichikawa agrees with. By comparison, when Anime Yamada says the same thing, Anime Ichikawa takes a picture of the moon-lit landscape out of the window and sends it to her.
* The close-up of *Your Color's Octave* shows almost the entire two open pages in detail in the anime, giving a lot more compared to the manga's single panel.

## Chapter 51:

* Yamada offering in text to talk to Kana in her and Kyoutarou's phone conversation is cut, as well as him thinking of them laughing and him telling her that he's dealt with it.
* Yamada texting to ask if Kana is asleep to lead into the rest of the Chapter 49 conversation is only in the anime.
* Kyoutarou apologizing to his grandmother doesn't make it into the anime.
* Kana asking their father for his input on cute girls and their charms is not in the anime.
* Much of Kana's teasing dialogue is cut from the anime, namely when she goes over all of the things that Yamada has seemingly done for him based off the sick visit.

## Chapter 52:

* The scene about Kana talking about the Akita dog charms and how they should wear them to the shrine is placed at the start of this chapter in the anime, but is at the end of it in the manga.
* A couple of panels where Yamada explains that she walks Wantarou on her days off and Ichikawa attempts to pet him before being scared off by his growls is cut, as is him jumping back into Yamada's chest, and him thinking with his cast he might look like a trainer for police dogs.
* Ichikawa's dialogue about high class families teaching dogs tricks in English is not in the adaptation.
* Manga Yamada seats herself when she brings up the idea of having Ichikawa have Wantarou do tricks, but she remains standing in the anime. This is notable as the manga adaptation makes it seem as though her switching sides is deliberate for them holding hands.
* Ichikawa's dialogue about putting her scarf in a bag is put here, instead of in 49.
* The narrator note indicating that Yamada was the one who put the scarf on Ichikawa is unique to the manga.

## Chapter 53:

* While this chapter in the manga does have a flash-forward to Ichikawa at the family diner, in the anime it is placed before the events of Chapter 50.
* The two boys who accompany Nanjou, Moe, and Mamiya are absent in the anime.
* Moe telling Ichikawa not to be so jumpy when she leans over to him is cut from the anime.
* Ichikawa's thought of "There it is" when Nanjou asks about Yamada is unique to the manga.
* Ichikawa's final response to the LINE message is shown to be "Okay. Talk to you tomorrow." The manga leaves his final response ambiguous. In addition, most of his phone responses are sent from his room in the anime, but in the manga he is already on his way to the Fairy Mart.
* As the two boys are not adapted in the anime, Ichikawa mocking them for their speech patterns is not there. A bit of background speech, possibly of Mamiya and Nanjou speaking is inserted instead.
* Ichikawa's drink choice is not brought up in the anime, but in the manga he wants a Red Bull.
* Manga Ichikawa doesn't notice Nanjou until he's put his arm around him and begins speaking, but Anime Ichikawa sees him in the reflection of the freezer door before he says anything and acts appropriately with a shocked expression. Anime Nanjou makes no physical contact as well.
* Mamiya and Moe take the place of the two other guys with Nanjou in the conversation, giving some background dialogue.
* Nanjou expressly offers to treat Ichikawa to a meal in exchange for a chat in the manga, but the anime just immediately transfers them to the Guzdo restaurant.
* The conversation between the boys and Nanjou about his crush on Yamada is of course cut. Nanjou's line about Yamada not giving him her number is added.
* Ichikawa's audible thought about Moe pretending not to recognize him is unique to the anime.
* Moe's apology to Mamiya is a lot more played up in the source material, going from an exaggerated "Ah, Mamiya-senpai, I'm so sorry!" to a simple cheeky "Sorry!"
* Ichikawa's phone is on the table in front of him when Yamada messages him in the manga, but he fishes it out of his jacket in the anime.
* Mamiya telling Nanjou to leave Ichikawa alone and that he's scaring him is unique to the adaptation. A line about him wanting a coffee from Mamiya is also inserted, in an attempt to get them alone, as is Moe's line about getting a refill.
* A completely original scene is Nanjou moving seats to get in front of Ichikawa and asking directly for Yamada's LINE number, saying that he promises not to tell anyone. Moe listens from behind a wall, and Ichikawa refuses, and when asked for a reason, simply says that he doesn't want to. Moe then returns and the chapter plays out mostly the same afterwards.
* Moe's line about her "flags being blown to bits" (meaning her chances with Nanjou) are unique to the manga.
