> Honestly, I prefer the manga over the anime.
The anime's pacing felt too rushed — especially from episode 26 to 50, where it completely diverged from the manga. It felt like they were just trying to finish the story as quickly as possible, sacrificing emotional depth and character development along the way.
If the anime had followed the original manga or even incorporated elements from the light novel, it could’ve been one of the best Shounen adaptations out there.
I really hope we get a proper re-adaptation someday — one that stays true to the manga's tone, pacing, and character arcs.
