The Biggest Anime and Manga Differences In Phantom Thief Jeanne!

Hello, Anime Fans! I'm Ferus!

And sometimes the Anime and the Manga
happen to be different.

Every now and then these differences
can be more apparent.

And that's the case with
Phantom Thief Jeanne!

Now which are the biggest differences
between the Manga and the Anime

That's what we'll see right now.

The Phantom Thief Jeanne
Anime series is altogether

comprised of 44 episodes.

Now for some reason, and although
I rewatched the Anime two years ago,

I always think that it has
more than 70 episodes.

Now, of course RTL 2 aired the Anime
between August 27th

and October 26th 2001.

The Anime had come to an end in Japan
just a year and a half before that.

Specifically on January 29th, 2000.

But there was a problem: Arina Tanemura,
the artist behind Phantom Thief Jeanne,

still wasn't finished
with the Manga at the time.

And we all know what it means
when a Manga surpasses the Anime.

There are some changes.

And that hits Phantom Thief Jeanne
pretty hard on some aspects.

The main plot of the Anime stays
relatively true to the Manga.

It isn't as if Jeanne suddenly
began to throw Pokéballs at the demons.

Nevertheless, some minor and
even a few major storylines

were either changed or left out.

So let us dive in and see the
most noticeable of changes,

and the changes that will be
more interesting to those

who simply haven't read the Manga.

Let's begin with the characters!

Miyako, Maron's best friend,
often comes off as...

pretty hateful and cruel in the Anime.

She did have a sweeter side
with Maron, no doubt about that,

But every now and then I
cannot fathom idea of

why Maron is even friends with her!

In contrast, Manga Miyako is absolutely
assertive and full of will.

Which she shows in the Anime
when she puposefully goes after Jeanne.

But in the Manga we see it
more frequently

just how much Miyako relies on Maron.

These neat moments show precisely why
these two share a friendship.
