The art is good. And the characters are quite numerous...

Still.

The first 5 chapters are a bit strange in translation. I dont think it's the ability of translator (it's quite possible, of course) but the original manga lines are strange themselves.

All in all it worth paying attention too.

I liked the anime, but I like the manga much better. Some people say they don't care for the art style, but I actually prefer it to the anime, especially Murasaki's character design. A lot of the anime was filler (musical episode :/ ) and slice of life, so if you prefer slice of life, watch the anime. If you prefer numerous plot arcs and a good amount of action, read the manga.

Kure-nai is really outstanding. the story is good, but what really made me interested was the character development between each person. . i like the relationship between shinkuro and murasaki, more like a brother and sister feel than a pedo. . murasaki is so cute! wish i had a little sister like that. . anyway its a good read, there are a bit of chapters released so far 30. i hape they continue to keep the story intact. . so i recommend that you try and read it! its fun and not overly dramatic. .

This manga reminds me a lot of Pandora Hearts, Murasaki not only looks but acts like Alice from PH as well. And both protagnists in Kure-nai and PH have some type of issue with themselves, Oz and Shinkurou.

This is excellent one of my faverates the comedy is great the story is intriguing and keeps you coming back for more and the art is well don't.

Also the anime was crap not very good at all would advice giving it a miss but the manga is brilliant and would advise reading it.

I find the manga to be much superior than the anime in terms of plot expanation and narration/storytelling, but less of the slice-n-life feeling to it.

The art style is different, but the sharp contrast really grows in you.

Both the manga and anime are done well, it just depends on your preferences.

The story is great, and the story is much more interesting then the anime. Also the manga was started first before the anime. I was confused as hell when the anime first came out after reading chapters of the anime, because I did not know it was a prequel.

I really really LOVE this
Eventhough harem is one of the genre, since I don't like harem genre, but doesn't like others with the same genre, I thought the male protagonist in this series (Shinkurou) was a bit different, because IMO, it's a bit clear that the one he most adores was Murasaki. And I like Murasaki's strong character. Oh, and every girl in this story is really really cool...

 Manga Vs. anime   
Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I found out about the series after watching 10 out of 12 episodes of the anime. While I feel the anime has a good story, the manga I feel is better all around. The story, art, plot ( not much of one yet ), and the relationships with the characters, and character design all give off a better feel then the anime. If you have watched the anime and have yet to read the manga, Read it! you wont regret it. The manga unlike the anime shows off Shinkuro's darker side more and after 7 chapters has had more action then the anime. Also the mystery behind Murasaki in this manga while keep you reading, since unlike the anime the relationship between Shinkuro and Murasaki isnt as straight forward as they made it in the anime and there is more mystery laced into it.

Edit: After watching all 12 episodes of the Kurenai anime it seems the anime is a prequel to the manga, or the manga author choose to start the story where the anime left off.
