I'd say the manga is a lot better than the anime i the way that it changes the story to be different but better than the anime.

it has this way of telling the story in a different more satisfactory way but still coming out with almost the same results.

it is true there is a lot more development for the other characters in the plantation 13 squad and it takes you a bit more in to their feelings and thoughts adding more of an attachment to the characters than the anime.

the changes in the manga are not bad by any means and i cant wait to see how they end this.
