 * Legosi and Jack ate lunch together at the staircase in the manga, while they ate lunch together at the pool in the anime.
 * In the anime, Louis has his lecture to Bill and Legosi without his crutch like in the manga.

 * Legosi panics more in the anime as he and Bill are pressed for interviews.
 * In the manga, Louis pulls Legosi and Bill closer by their shirts to whisper. He merely leans in closer to them in the anime.
 * In the manga, only Legosi voices agreement to Louis' plan to cover up what happened in the play. In the anime, both Legosi and Bill voice agreement to Louis' plan.
 * In the manga, Legosi has a completely awkward expression on his face as Louis addresses the crowd. In the anime, Legosi actually produces a smile as Louis speaks to the crowd.

 * In the manga, Legosi stops in front of a window as Jack presses Legosi over if he has fallen in love with a girl. In the anime, Legosi and Jack are running as Jack inquires Legosi over the girl he might have fallen for. Additionally, during the scene, a few students overhear it on the outside in the manga; whereas a few students overhear and see it in the anime from inside the corridor.

 * Mina is not seen sitting together Legosi and the others when the Meteor Festival was announced in the manga. Also, she was absent from the warehouse as well.
 * Kai is seen cheering with the other members of the drama club about the announcement of the Meteor Festival in the manga. In the anime, he sits with Legosi, Dom, Kibi, and another member.
 * In the manga, it is Legosi who internally narrates the purpose and background of the Meteor Festival. In the anime it is Dom and Kibi who explain its origins and significance to Kai when he expresses concern over the decorations and their complexity.
 * The shot of what the Meteor Festival should look like is much more expansive in the anime then it is in the manga, and the couple in the mental example is feline in the manga while it is a canine couple in the anime.
 * The flowers Haru finds are different from the manga and anime.
 * In the manga, the hallway Haru finds the wilted flowers in is filled with students who try to ignore her presence. In the anime, the hallway Haru finds the wilted flowers in is completely empty.

 * In the anime, the shattered vase even slightly bruises Haru's face.
 * In the manga, Mizuchi even breaks down crying in her rant on Haru over her paranoia of her species possibly going extinct. Mizuchi does not shed any tears in the anime.
 * Mizuchi's bird friend from the manga is not in the anime and is instead replaced by a raccoon.
 * In the manga, Legosi is already behind Haru when Mizuchi and her gang get scared. In the anime, he slowly walks behind Haru which scares Mizuchi and her gang to slowly backing away until they run away in fear.
 * Because Haru wasn't drenched from the broken vase in the anime like she was in the manga, Legosi doesn't hold a handkerchief. Adding on, in the manga, she dries herself off as best she can; whereas in the anime she merely dusts herself off.
 * The students in the cafeteria who noticed Legosi and Haru eating together are different species in both the manga and anime.
 * In the manga, Legosi and Haru sit at a small circle table fit for two people. In the anime, Legosi and Haru sit at a medium rectangle table like the kind in restaurants with room and seats for four people

 * Legosi's mental image of himself on a treadmill has an extra part of him trying to go further on it in the anime.
 * Haru kicks out her foot more times in the anime as she eats with Legosi in the cafeteria then she does in the manga, even before she reflects on how her inner fight-or-flight instincts tell her that Legosi and his fangs are dangerous.
 * Legosi's mental image drifting away from Haru has the distance between them larger in the anime then it is in the manga.
 * Legosi fixes Haru's shoe buckle at the school corridors in the manga, while he fixes it on the school grounds outside in the anime.
