Help Needed - Manga that are the same as the anime

[cassiesheepgirl]

I've put Onegai Twins and Onegai Teacher at the bottom of the list seperately for now. I've seen Gravitation, and I have the first three volumes of the manga which I was planning on reading soon. So I should be able to confirm that (or if it comes to it write a new synopsis lol). Since Teacher and Twins are only 2 volumes each, I may have a read of them myself as well.

What we need to know:

1. The name of the series. Please note, only reply with manga that already has an entry in the Anirec - while it may be a point of interest to know that anime x is the same as manga x, in this case it isn't particularly helpful if anime x isn't in the DB

2. How many total volumes the manga has.

3. How much of the anime does the manga cover (volume wise), or vice versa.

4. How much of both the anime and the manga you have personally completed.

We need to know all of the information mentioned above. If the entire anime is covered in volume one, then it is unlikely that the anime synopsis will be used, since we need a synopsis that covers a reasonable amount of the manga.

1. Ranma 1/2

2. 36, 38 in Japan

3. The manga covers basically all of the anime, but the anime finished airing while the manga was still being written so some of the manga is covered in the anime.

4. I have completed all 161 episodes of the anime + OVAs, and read the first 15 manga volumes so far.

EDIT: Now I've read 20 out of the 36 volumes, and the last episode of the anime is based on part of Volume 20. I'm guessing the next couple volumes cover the OVAs, then completely original stuff.

Full Metal Panic!

there are three parts to it.
Light Novels
Manga
Anime

The light novels came first.

The Manga is mostly loyal to the light novels. However, its also WAY behind. Not much further along then the anime TSR plotline

The Anime is mostly loyal to the manga. with a few differences like...

-the first season cut out a number of the classmates who existed in the manga... including the student body president... most of whome who did return in Fumoffu! a lot of the plot arcs were out of order as well. the Behemoth plotline is altered a bit in the anime.
-Fumoffu, covered a lot of the comedic sidestories that were skipped in the first season, and made up a few of it's own
-TSR is different then the manga in a few ways. 1) the main psycho villain didn't exist (i mean the loon in the white trench coat), he's basically an anime invention. 2) the ambush in the underground section arc didn't happen in either the manga or books. Of course that section was added to establish one of the traitors in mitheril, who was cut out season 1. 3) the infamous hooker/drinking scene in the anime didn't happen in the manga or books (at least i don't remember it). 4) the twins weren't incestuous in the manga, and they were men in the books (or at least i don't remember them like that)

the light novels are far in advance of both the manga and anime. Probably a solid two 24+ ep seasons ahead... potentially 3. Apparently the last novel in the whole lot is being released soon.

i guess the key is, if it's not identical, we cant put it up - and since i havent read it, i cant make changes based on the differences. if someone can provide a new FMP synopsis based on a good amount of the manga vols (ie, if 20 vols are out, based on 3-4 is good) then i can put it up.

sorry... im sorta new here... i'd like to help but im not sure what you're talking about. For example.. the stuff in the FMP manga almost all happened in the anime, though it's out of order in parts... and the anime added stuff, characters and details that weren't in the manga (as well as a mini arc or two). Some of it was original, some of it was in the books but never in the manga...

If you could send me a pm, explaining what you need, i'd be more then happy to get it together for you.

1. Rosario + Vampire

2. 10 volumes

3. Can't say for sure yet, but volume one covered the first 2 episodes of the anime

4. I've watched the first season of Rosario Vampire, and read the first volume of the manga.
If that's not enough, I plan on buying more when I get home next week. The store I was at only had volumes 1,5,7.

Kodomo no Jikan (2007) - Anime-Planet is basically the same in the anime as in the Manga. Most scenes are identical.

I personally have read up to chapter 11, and have watched all of the anime. I've yet to see Second Term though.
