Manga is great, it shows a lot more scenes that were cut in the anime and some stuff in a more elaborate manner. Mainly the part that was cut were the scenes regarding the movie-making that Tomohiro and the gang makes throughout the whole manga and the ending part that
takes place after the movie ending.
Anyway, the movie handles and portrays the story well without a doubt greatly.

CHARACTERS
I have a lot of things to say about the characters so bear with me please.
The anime doesn't touch the part of movie-making to cover all the imp things in slotted time but bcz of that we don't see some scenes of their grade school teacher and Satoshi. The movie

The anime doesn't touch the part of movie-making to cover all the imp things in slotted time but bcz of that we don't see some scenes of their grade school teacher and Satoshi. The movie
doesn’t develop the side characters much. But after reading the manga I was able to understand them more and I think I liked seeing more of them and learning things about them as well.
The teacher is a complete jerk like really the char I hate the most.

I think the manga fleshes out Satoshi's char better bcz all his scenes were related to the movie-making that's why it all got cut. Satoshi came off as pretty weird at first but his actions made him a lil likable. So he was a package of weird and interesting char but his
development allowed him to end up as a likable char to me.
The second char after the teacher that I liked the least was Kawai, even the manga didn't make me like her much more. She is just okay

Ueno. I like her and not too. It’s a very 50-50 feeling. I like her because of her straightforward attitude; she says what she thinks instead of just pretending to be likable and some more stuff about her.
Shouko's mother - yet another char I love more after reading the manga. She is a strong woman who did try her best to get her daughter to have a good life. Being hard on herself and taking a strict role in the household. I really love her and respect her for all of that.
Nagatsuka - he is definitely a very nice char. I love his simple yet interesting character. I loved him for always supporting Shoyo and being the best bud!!
Yuzuru - she is a great sister. Supporting her sister since childhood taking care of her and even being more stronger for her. She tries her best in every possible way to help Shoko without caring about herself. I love her.
Shouko - my pretty and precious girl. I love her so much. She is always smiling that pretty smile hides a lot of stuff. She has a lot going on inside her mind. There’s a lot more complexity to her character that I just love.
Shoya - definitely love him. I loved seeing his journey and his development. He really shows that people can change if they try if they understand where they went wrong. He tried his best.

beautiful and really soothing to listen to.
The manga art is okay okay good to tell the story but KyoAni takes it to a whole new level in the movie. The char designs are very pretty and charming.
