Review of Hanebado!

I actually watched this series while reading the source material at the same time. Given my displeasure, I was so dismayed how the anime focused more on the drama aspect of the MC which took away the enjoyment of the series. The manga perfectly balanced it unlike the anime. It's okay to place some changes from the source material to the main story as long as it MAKES SENSE. In one anime which is arifureta, the anime took away a ton of content from the source material based on reviews from actual readers which made me research about it but I still give it a goodgrade because the story still make sense although including them would make the story WAY better.

So let's get back to this show, the only thing which made me enjoy the story is the twisted attitude of the MC which actually for most viewers like about the show. Hence, I'm giving this a 7/10 overall. Out of respect of the manga which is like 8/10. I actually wanted to give the anime like a 5/10 but it will be too disrespectful.

I really do hope when Anime studios decide to adapt stories in the near future which I know there are some doing the right moves. The worst mistake is changing the tone of the series by focusing on other aspects which is not really the stories' point.

I love Nagisa's character. I felt like her portrayal in the manga was actually okay. No need to like over glorify her weakness when she lost to Ayano during the tournament at the start of the series. I dislike how the main anime made major changes in the original content. It's okay for me they would cut it. Please don't change major storylines.
