Mai-Otome (manga): Difference between revisions

The manga is semi-related to the anime series ''[[Mai-Otome (Anime)|Mai-Otome]]''. At the start of production (despite common belief, they started at the same time) both the anime and manga production teams were given the basic premise, setting and character list, then allowed to go into their own directions. Hence, the manga has a vastly different story from the anime with a far greater focus on [[Fan Service]] and wildly different [[Character Development]]. Additionally, a semi-sequel, ''Mai-Otome Arashi'', followed a short time later and continued the story, along with a non-canon [[Hentai]] chapter that took place at a hot spring.

* [[Lighter and Softer]]: In comparison to the anime. {{spoiler|Erstin's not a mole and she doesn't die, Nina doesn't turn evil, Nagi is revealed to be a [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|pretty okay guy after all]] and actually makes a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save Manshiro...}}

** Then again, that was one [[Ludicrous Gibs|messy]] sacrifice, Mashiro gets a [[Tear Jerker]] death scene, and Mai from [[Mai-HiME (Mangamanga)|Mai-HiME]] is revealed to have been sealed away for God knows how long before she finally gets reunited with Yuuichi and Mikoto...
