as much as i like the live adaptation, there is a charm the characters have in their original manga form that i love. i think part of it is the chemistry between adachi and kurosawa. the actors definitely did a good job but naturally in the manga the characters are more expressive with their faces and body language. seeing the two of them blush with the soft background panels adds something that is difficult to replicate when dealing with real people.
