Anime and Manga Comparison: Karte 15: Yamada and Me

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

**Episode 15 covers Chapters 68, 69, 70, 71, and parts of Chapter 79.**

## Chapter 68:

* Serina telling Moe that she "doesn't need to break it down" in reference to how long until Valentine's Day doesn't make it into the anime. Neither does Moe and Chi's commentary asking about Yamada's plan.
* Serina and Chi saying they may not be interested in chocolate-making but Yamada and Moe insisting is only in the manga.
* Several panels of Ichikawa thinking of the ramifications of Yamada giving boys chocolate and Moe teasing him are cut.
* A few images of Ichikawa in his room trying on clothes and checking himself out in a mirror is only in the source material.
* The order of certain events during Ichikawa wondering if he's mistaken about the invite are moved around, and his thought about going to a bookstore so his family doesn't ask questions is cut.
* A few seconds of Ichikawa and Yamada's friends in the elevator, showing him pushing the button to her floor, are added.
* Some of the events occur in a different order when everyone walks inside and Sanae begins scrutinizing Ichikawa.

## Chapter 69:

* Moe asking why Yamada's father isn't helping is moved earlier in the anime. Yamada saying she'll give some chocolate to her father is cut.
* Ichikawa reasoning that he has to put up with Moe helping him because otherwise he'd be sent away doesn't make it into the anime.
* The entirety of the conversation normally had at school and in Chapter 79 is moved to here, regarding White Day and Yamada and Chi's past with the basketball club.
* Moe goes harder with their pretend relationship in the animation, trying to ask what he should call her and such.
* Ichikawa telling himself he'll do the dishes to get out of the way is only in the manga. It just cuts to him there suddenly in the anime.
* Nigorikawa hops down from the ceiling after his introduction for their conversation in the bathroom originally, but in the adaptation he stays up on the ceiling the entire time.
* The imagination spot is oddly changed from Ichikawa and Yamada dressed up in standard formal wear to them in a wedding tuxedo and gown, with Yamada apparently pregnant.
* When Nigorikawa finally fades away, he jumps down from the ceiling and phases back into Ichikawa in the anime, instead of just fizzling away while standing.
* Sanae starting the conversation by asking if she's caused a misunderstanding is source-material only.
* Sanae and Anna's discussion about how close she is with Ichikawa is mostly cut, and isn't shown, only spoken about.
* Yamada's expression before playfully shoulder-checking Ichikawa has her with a different expression which causes different context.
* Yamada lovingly putting his jacket back on and leading him back inside isn't in the anime.

## Chapter 70:

* Sanae reassuring the girls and telling them to continue their chocolate-making doesn't make it into the anime.
* Some dialogue decisively saying that it's the first time the girls have seen Yuki is only in the manga.
* Serina saying "giant" triggers Ichikawa recalling the "giant" in the elevator in the anime, leading into the flashback.
* References to the game their playing being titled "Dead or Dead" is cut from the anime. Based off the dialogue it seems to still be a fighting game similar to "Dead or Alive," though.
* The "friend chocolate" scene and the "Moe realizing how attractive Yuki is when he puts up his hair" scene are switched around. Also, Moe's comment about Anna and her father looking so different is said to Ichikawa instead of to Anna. The latter scene also has the part where Moe chases after him saying she likes games is also cut.
* Moe asking Sanae if Yuki will try out their chocolate is only in the anime.
* Instead of Anna picking up a bit of chocolate from Ichikawa's face and eating it like in the source, she finishes the small brick that he took a bite from.
* The single panel of Yamada waving bye to everyone as they go their separate ways, with Chi going alone to her house, is only in the manga.
* Moe wondering why she had to lie and him clarifying that he didn't meet her parents is cut from the anime.

## Chapter 71:

* Ichikawa's mother is not present for Kyou and Kana's discussion about the chocolate-making, and her dialogue is of course cut.
* The bit of chocolate from the event that Kana tries out is not present.
* A panel of Anna greeting her father when he comes home is only in the manga.
* Several panels are removed and summarized with Yamada's line about him thinking that "Yamada" is also Ichikawa's family name. Notably, Yuki leaving to his room in despair is cut.
* Kana's signature alcoholic beverage, Strong Zero, is changed to the more copywrite-friendly POWERFUL ONE.
* Anime Kana actually falls into the floor in reaction to Kyou's proclamation of wanting to go out with Yamada.
* Yamada greeting Ichikawa as he goes to school is cut to put them already in conversation about her giving boys chocolate.

## Chapter 79:

* As stated above, this Chapter's conversation in setting and context is radically different. In the manga the whole talk takes place during a study session. In the anime it takes place while Yamada is away and they're preparing chocolate.
* Chi insisting that basketball isn't about height and her whole jealousy arc is cut.
* The image of the tough guy spinning the ball on his finger when Chi yells out is only in the manga.
* A few of Moe and Serina's comments on Chi's telling of the story is cut. Instead of everyone scribbling in their notebooks quietly at Chi's proclamation of being Yamada's favorite, they instead ignore her while making ingredients.
* Lots of other events are also cut within the context of the chapter, though they may be adapted later if a different set of events covers the rest of it.
