Darling in the Franxx really shows how framing can change a story. While there’s not much divergence from the plot of the anime this is based on, there is however, a lot more unnecessary nudity and sexualization that makes me roll my eyes every time I read it. It takes away from the story and serves no purpose as seen in the anime the story works well without it. So far the anime is a much better way to experience the story.

This volume was an improvement. The story picks up the pace, and this time I feel the faster pace works in the favor of the manga. Slight deviations from the anime are made, mostly to good effect--not inherently better or worse than the anime, just different. The art continues to impress, and in this volume, the fanservice is used pretty effectively to enhance concepts or scenes in ways that feel more natural than they did in the anime (who would've thought, huh?). In those cases, it feels like the anime had to hold back in order to keep the rating aimed at teens, while the manga didn't have to make such sacrifices. The fanservice is still self-indulgent, of course, but felt pretty natural all things considered. I don't think I would say this manga adaptation is better than its anime counterpart, as I do still think the original is better, but it definitely justified its existence.

The story is OK as is the art. The pictures can be confusing during battle scenes. I’ve found the characters in a lot of comics to be way too superficial and one dimensional. I won’t be continuing this series.

Tome assez vide. Les combats sont peu lisibles et le ecchi est très borderline (adolescentes hyper sexualisées et dénudées et les scènes de “connexion” entre les partenaires ont de fortes connotations sexuelles). Il ne se passe pas grand chose, on attend juste de savoir si le héros va mourir.

Learn a little more about their society and the pilots as people. Amusing if not a little played out in a dystopian society manga.

I love code 002😍
This story is amazing. I’m loving it.
We finally had a glimpse of the effect that 002 has over Hiro.
