Do you happen to know when the episodes catch up with the manga?
Here is what I believe how it roughly aligns. (Though as mentioned, note that the drama is an adaptatioin and it adds and removes things.)
Drama Ep 1 - Manga Ch 1, 2
Drama Ep 2 - Manga Ch 11, 14, 3
Drama Ep 3 - Manga Ch 4, 5, 8, 6
Drama Ep 4 - Manga Ch 7, 17, 21
Drama Ep 5 - Original episode + Manga Ch 13
Drama Ep 6 - Manga Ch 27, 36
So for English readers, Drama Ep 1 and 3 should be spoiler free.
Source: I watched and read all in Japanese. Apologies if I'm missing something, though.
I don't think the drama made an alternative closure to the story - it felt as though they told the first half (or quarter or whatever) of the story and ran out of time in the live action, while the manga continued after that point. The ending was fine and not so abrupt because it's basically a slice-of-life story, overall, though. It also leaves room for a second series. The live action series is scheduled to be on-air in a weekly TV program in Tokyo starting in a few days. Fans are speculating if it makes a hit and they might decide to produce a second series.
