The manga also effectively portrays the eccentric personalities of the competition’s contestants, highlighting the contrast between Carole’s shy demeanor and Tuesday’s vivacious nature. The heartfelt relationship between Carole and Tuesday, which is a central aspect of the story, is beautifully realized in the manga adaptation.

Captivating Artistry, Missing Landscapes

One aspect where the manga falls short is in capturing the distinctive landscapes of Mars, which played a significant role in the world-building of the anime. The absence of the alien landscapes visually detracts from fully capturing the aesthetic of the source material. However, the captivating artistry in depicting the characters’ movements and expressions compensates for this drawback.

Narrative Liberties and Missed Opportunities

The manga takes some liberties with the narrative and skips certain plot points, which may disappoint fans looking for a faithful adaptation. Notably, some characters, like GGK, receive minimal attention or are entirely omitted. This exclusion feels like a missed opportunity to bring more style and depth to the adaptation. Nevertheless, all the crucial moments are touched upon, and the core relationship between Carole and Tuesday remains intact.

A Must-Have for Fans of the Anime

For fans of the ‘Carole and Tuesday’ anime seeking additional content, the manga series is a must-have. It not only captures the most memorable moments from the series but also adds its own unique touch through Morito Yamataka’s artistry. Pairing the manga with the soundtrack creates the perfect ambiance for a relaxing evening of unwinding. Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of ‘Carole and Tuesday’ and let the music transport you.
