I chewed through the whole web novel a couple of months ago and completely forgot they were adapting it to manga.
While it's definitely not bad so far I can see it'll definitely be a struggle to adapt a story that mainly consists of internal monologues without losing what really makes their relationship compelling. There is so much that goes on in the little details of their actions that can't effectively be translated visually.
The art style makes Sendai seem like she's a much bubblier person than she really is with Miyagi, so I'm wondering how they're going to portray her "people pleaser" persona later on when she's consciously masking and it's not being filtered through Miyagi's perception of her. If they even get that far I guess.
I know right? Like, chapter 2 of the WN has a bunch of parts describing Sendai's increasing frustration and anger at Miyagi not accepting the leftover change. You can kinda sorta sense it on page 15, but not to the extent as described in the WN below:
...And besides, the fact that she thought I was the kind of person who would just be like, “Oh, sure, thanks!”, in response to keeping the change really got on my nerves.
「Ahh, whatever. Let’s just say I borrowed the change as well. I’ll just give it all back to you tomorrow.」
To be honest, I was really starting to get angry, but I held myself back.
If rumors of me yelling at someone else started circulating around at school, it’d only serve to ruin my image.
But we'll see either way, I have faith! I feel like they're almost certainly aware of such a problem. Anyway, maybe they could use more thought boxes for the internal monologues or something lmao
