Right, Epic spoilers for people who read the manga.
The manga is much better because it tells you EVERYTHING about the characters and doesnt leave people going "Uhhh, what?2 like the anime did.
You have been missing out, so you should read it. They changed how Mariko died, After the last episode of the anime where you see Lucy's second horn get shot off, she reverts back to her Nyuu state for a while until she kills Bandou, Nana then vows to kill her.
Kurama (Mariko and Nana's father) also does not blow himself up with Mariko, Mariko in fact blows herself up to try and kill Lucy, Kurama then in his own guilt of not stopping her, blows his brains out.
They also introduced Anna, who is a Diclonius-like god. Also the directors Daughter.
And Number 28 who couldnt use her vectors and was used only to track other dicloni and she was hacked from the chest down and put in constant pain, she gets killed off later.
As for the ending, I'm not sure as I'm on chapter 90.
also, how could you guys hate Fruits basket? It's fantastic, except they stopped the anime halfway through the manga.
