no, i haven't read the manga. i can't afford it - i own the first two, but short of going to the store and sitting there for hours i don't really have a choice.

besides, i really liked the anime. it's not wrong to like something for being what it is, not what it should be, even if it was meant to be. its like people who like the harry potter movies. they're terribly off from the books, but as movies they're fine.

i love the cc manga art, though, and besides immortal rain its the only series i'm actively collecting.
