![]() You get alot more emotional twists and turns like a rollercoaster in the manga. ![]() The characters have far more depth in the manga while the anime they almost seem one sided like poster cut out versions of themselves. You get none of the detailed angles behind each of the characters revealed. She lacks a lot of the depth, background, and sense of trial and triumphs her life delivered her. She is a real genuine and strong yet very compelling character easily gripping the readers attention far unlike the anime version of her which actually due to the repetitive pointless over used way she is treated that it actually makes her a much weaker character in the anime. Her character hardly changes especially her vampire form in the anime, but this is not the case by far in the manga, she does evolve. The anime treats her like a tool to call on whenever trouble strikes and her rosary comes off. Mocha is not some crutch to lean on for every rinse and repeat type single problem as seen in that silly virtually useless and pointless anime twisted up to crap version of this story. He has is own wits, gifts, tenacity, strengths, weaknesses, and choices he can use. He doesn't always have to depend on his monster friends, especially Mocha for every single problem. The participation of Tskunai in his own fate is grand. It begins so innocently and gradually, the reader is at liberty to dismiss it and fold it up in the mind only to realize much later that, "OH ya". Few stories do such an excellent job at slowly evolving and building up characters as this one does. This is one of the best mangas I have ever read it shines above most all other such creations and even gives many a Western comic and novel a good run for the money. Stan Lee would have been proud if such a manga were added to the Marvel line, it is that good. The manga is way different however and is in a class all of its own. It is a mystery why the anime version short changed the manga so badly that it essentially became a completely different and far weaker story with much weaker characters and far more repetitive nonsensical actions. This may well be a 10 but it is so close to call.
