So, as with the last volume, the manga sticks to the main plot-line of the anime fairly well, however it also has many of its own little bits throughout the story that set it apart from its visual counterpart. Many of this little things take up no more than a few pages, and I find myself enjoying sometimes even more than the scenes taken from the anime!
The biggest thing I notice as a (amazing) difference is that the manga has a lot more emphasis on Eureka's point of view, which I am falling in love with as she has always been a character I enjoy. Another thing that seems to have a bigger presence in the manga is the relationship between Renton and Eureka. In the anime it was constantly hinted at, and constantly cock-blocked by Eureka's 3 adopted children(who annoyed the ever-living hell out of me). In the manga, the children take the back seat and let Eureka and Renton take center stage, which is amazing to see. Their relationship feels a lot more like a romance to me, and as a romance anime/manga fan, I couldn't be happier with it.
In 9 out of 10 occurrences, I would say that the manga is at least on par, if not better than the anime. However that other occurrence is that sometimes the page layout gets a little confusing as it is somewhat poorly done at times.
Also, I am LOVING Kozuma Kondou's artwork in the series! It is truly breathtaking

Eureka Seven's manga proved to be significantly better than the anime. It is more sober and mature, and as well more intimate in the portrayal of the characters as opposed to the oversentimentality exemplified in the anime. Here, in this manga, we can see that character development does not have to be presented in such an exaggerated overtone. People are subtle, and so should the characters be. And people do not change so consistently, as it is a slow process and not so sharp -- and in the cases where it is sharp, there would be many signs to show us that such a sharp change did really occur. The manga perfects this. The anime doesn't.
In this volume, Dewey is released from his cell. He issues a command to let Anemome, Eureka's clone, to detect Eureka. Eureka's dark past is discovered, and Renton is trying to cope with the situation and to understand how he feels, how he ought to feel, and is generally struck that he was never prepared for such situations. I loved this volume and enjoyed every page. Onwards to Vol. 3.

Penoso, situaciones hiper forzadas, incoherencias por todos lados... no terminé de leerlo, tenemos muy poco tiempo para perderlo en obras tan poco originales y pretenciosas.

Wasn't as cool as the first volume, but it's still very interesting and I'm looking forward to the next volume. Renton's starting to get on my nerves, but I'm also starting to like Eureka more. I just wish there was more of the actual lives of all the characters.

Presentación de un nuevo personaje que parece que será decisivo en la trama, descubrimiento de algunos detalles para los protagonistas principales y un gran capítulo con los dos protagonistas metiéndose dentro de uno de los supuestos enemigos del planeta.

In this volume we discover new characters, and get more info about the whole Psalms of Planets universe. We also get a much better idea of the reasons for some of the characters' actions while still wondering at the mystery of Eureka.
