An area where it fares much better is with story and pacing. The manga is weighed down by an overly-long and unnecessarily detailed prologue of Alice’s childhood encounters with Momo and Yuzu. This first episode cuts straight to the high school years that will see them reunited, and the writers do a great job assessing how much information viewers actually need to be able to invest in the characters at this stage then drip-feeding it at appropriate times. This may sound obvious, but the multi-episode childhood flashback early in the series of

Comparing volume one of the manga to episode 1 of the anime brings up some interesting differences. In the manga, Nino’s childhood and her reason for isolating herself and singing are made very clear. We see how her relationship with Momo progresses for years and how close the two were. We then see her heartbreak following his disappearance and how Yuzu helps her open up again. Young Nino talks about both her relationship with Momo and Yuzu and how important they were in giving her the strength to keep singing even when she felt that her heart would break.

Episode 2 takes a step back and gives the background on just how intricately involved Momo, Yuzu, and Nino are. It finishes up pretty much at the end of volume 1 of the manga where we learn despite his kind words, Yuzu hopes Momo and Nino never meet again so she’ll look at Yuzu instead. Miou has Nino replace her as she can’t stand to be a second-rate substitute and Yuzu and Momo unknowingly become friends without knowing each other’s relationship to Nino.

This series is one that really madr mr wonder if I really want to watch it or not. The basic setting seems interesting, but the characters aren’t really, also the music is really not my kind of music. I’ll give it a trial of a few more episodes.
