I've read somewhere that the Suzuka manga continues a little bit after where the anime left off,so I started reading the Suzuka manga to get some closure on the story.

I would first like to point out some of the characters have different personalities in the manga compared with their anime versions.And the anime has a more serious tone,while the manga is very goofy and overly perverted.

In the manga it was not as clear cut whether Suzuka or Honoka was the right girl for Yamato(in my opinion).Because the dialogue was made shorter for the manga version,and alot of the dialogue was different and you don't hear voice expressions.

In the anime,Honoka was shy,kind,giving,she would do anything for Yamato,she was more feminine,she liked Yamato even before he had feelings for her and she really wanted to be with Yamato.Yamato thought to himself he feels more comfortable with Honoka than he feels with Suzuka and he can be himself around Honoka.

Suzuka was ill-mannered,ungreatful for things Yamato did for her(and even when she was greatful she never showed it),she liked Yamato but not as much as Honoka,she didn't want to be with Yamato,and when Yamato and Suzuka did talk,most of the time they were only able to have friendly conversations about the track team(because they are both athletes)and when they tried talking about other subjects they would end up fighting.

In the manga,it ends with Suzuka getting pregnent by Yamato and they get married,and Honoka is a little bit upset by this,and Yamato goes to represent Japan in sprinting.All the characters have graduated and Yamato and Suzuka have their own apartment now.I was disappointed with the ending,but like the manga site said,the story didn't go how we wanted but it was a great story.I've just thought to myself life is the same way,it doesn't always go how we want it,but that's just how it is.
