When this manga first came out I read the first 30 or so chapters. I fell off for one reason or another and always intended to go back to reading it but never got around to it. Then the anime was announced so I thought I'd watch that first before continuing my reading.

Anyway it's been a while so my memory of some of the details and sequence of events is a bit fuzzy. However I feel like the explanation of Mutsumi's role in the family was a bit muddled in the anime compared to my recollection from the manga.

Some of that may be clarified further down the line so I won't say too much but suffice it to say the Yozakura family basically has super-powers and the head of the family is always the one person in that generation who doesn't have super-powers. Their children do but they don't. The anime basically stated this but I think the manga was a bit clearer.

One of the points being that Mutsumi generally isn't expected to do much front-line spy work. As the head of the family her role is to be protected by the rest of her family and stay in the rear. Like the captain of the Enterprise.

I haven't spoiler tagged any of the above because I believe this was all information stated in the anime just not as clearly as it could have been. If the mods feel otherwise I'll understand their decision.

So far I would say Silver Link, been utterly nailing this adaption.

The A-list cast perfectly embody their characters, the animation is solid and fluid when it needs to be and captures the series' style/humor quite well, and they even manage to add in some new content to really enhance the story.

Also Taiyo and Mutusmi are so cute together. Blue-haired childhood friend finally won!!!

This has been surprisingly fun and cozy. Not really a lot going on, but what is works and is charming enough.

This may not be the best comparison, since Enterprise captains frequently got into the thick of things. Wink

So far this is a borderline series for me. I've kept up with it so far and found it decently entertaining, but if what we've seen so far is going to be pretty much the norm then I could see it falling off my list once things get busier for me.

This is show is a bit like Negima or Medaka box or RosarioXVampire. It starts more slapstick and episodic before becoming more like a serialised show. However, i'm not going to tell people to wait X number of chapters/episodes before it gets good. Personally, I liked early Medaka box. So if anyones not enjoying this now it's alright to drop and binge later, if you change your mind.

Looks like they're re-arranging some chapters to balance the focus on the cast as well as Taiyo's development.

I feel like they're also doing a fantastic job with Mutsumi's character and her relationship with Taiyo compared to the manga.
