Some differences between the anime and the manga:
Because of its
length, in the anime series we get to know better some characters that are not
deeply described in the manga.
The presence of
Tomoko in the anime is constant until the end and she'll become friends with
Mariko; Miya-sama's character is better described, and we get to see how she
developed her feelings for the man she loves; her relationship with Rei is
better described too (there are some minor changes related to their past); some
episodes deeply describe the personalities of Aya and some other members of the
Sorority. Mariko's father, differently from the manga version, appears, and,
most of all, Kaoru's ending is different.
I've
completed and added to this section the detailed summaries of almost all the
anime episodes. Click on the link to read them. It took me a lot of time to
write and revise them, so please, if you wish to use these summaries for your
webpages, ask me first and in any
case, give me credit or link to this website. Thanks.
Please note: The episodes titles up to video 4 are taken from
the "Technogirls Brother, Dear Brother page" (see the
"Links" section to visit their page). The episodes titles from
video 5 on are my not-quite-exact translation of the titles from the Italian
version I own (see the address of the Yamato Video shop in the main page).
If someone has any suggestions on how to improve the episode
titles, I'd be very grateful.
