I've read all 5 volumes released till now by tokyopop and seen the anime and I think the anime totally beats the manga (except for the art). I mean, the manga doesn't represent as well as the anime the life of a hikkikomori, the time they spend isolated and stuff. And scenes that are pretty serious in the anime suddenly are comic(?!) in the manga. what's up with that?! It disapointed me a little.... and they only start to show real drama in volume 4.(i'm a drama/horror lover so...) Nevertheless I am a total maniac for Welcome to the NHK and will follow the manga till the end (thank you tokyopop!) I seriously dont get it…..

(it's basically a happy ending with everything solved) Unless the manga version will lead to a different story, otherwise, im happy with how the anime has ended. i wonder if the manga will stop at the point where the anime ended, or will it actually continue on from that point

to be honest, im satisfied with the anime’s ending, the story has reached its climax, i don’t think it’s a good idea to continue the story further after that. (it’s basically a happy ending with everything solved)

Unless the manga version will lead to a different story, otherwise, im happy with how the anime has ended.

I'm a big fan of both the manga which I read first and the anime, but Zero has quite the NHK collection pictures of his NHK manga, novel and figures are included in the post. It's interesting to see what the original author thought, versus the mangaka and anime director.

It's probably not as concise as the manga but I still thought they got their point across. I would watch it again, plus the music was really good as well. Both opening and ending themes appealed to me. I actually really liked the anime. It’s probably not as concise as the manga but I still thought they got their point across.

I've only watched the anime, and in in my opinion I would have like the manga in the first place. I wanted to read the first volume, but by the time I got it, its was alerady the 17th episode, so I didn't bother reading it... I haven’t read the manga yet.

A very good manga - highly recommandable. The NHK manga has a lot more plot twists, is much darker and kinda sick sometimes (in various ways).
