Manga/Anime Differences[]
- Live's first appearance heavily differs between the anime and manga versions. In the manga, Live was first introduced looking at her smartphone, sitting at the couch and becoming infatuated by Masaki upon seeing a picture of her. In the anime, she was first introduced when she sleeps in her room while having a dream of Masaki, waking up after 20 years of slumber, and soon discovering the smartphone while she sees Masaki on a thumbnail.
- The scene with Masaki at the bar and the waitress recognizing her before telling her to leave was omitted in the manga.
- Masaki and Live's first encounter was different in the manga and anime versions. In the manga, Masaki first saw Live scrounging in a room looking for blood as the former hid, before she sees the latter swoop out of the room and stand on the ceiling upon sensing Masaki's nosebleed, while in the anime, Live got out of the room after searching before Masaki came in the room and saw her standing upside down for the first time, while Live sensed Masaki's nosebleed. Soon after she chases Masaki through the hospital and up to the roof, Live asking her if she was the one from the thumbnail she saw was omitted in the manga, while Live saying she needs her occurs when Live was taking Masaki on a flight in the manga, while it happens right before it in the anime.
- Even during Live and Masaki's flight, the two flying through the trees is omitted in the anime.
- Masaki getting nauseous during the flight and throwing up back on the ground afterwards was not shown in the manga.
- Ichiko does not appear in the manga's first chapter as she appears in the second chapter, while she makes her debut appearance in the anime's first episode.
- The debt collectors and the Izakaya bar waitress in the anime series do not appear in the manga.
