That is the thing I have been most pleasantly surprised by the production of this show. They have really devoted a lot of time and budget to a show that is not in a typically super well performing genre. In an alternate universe, it is easy to see how this show is produced in a way that flies at a breakneck pace through the story and doesn’t have even close to the same emotional impact as things are stripped for time.
So far, this has been the best adaptation I could have dreamed for. It helps that the source material is excellent to start with. Enjoy the manga! It’s a really special one.
Oh gods yes, usually it’d be something that blows through the whole story in 10~12 eps and is quickly forgotten about. I guess it helps that the manga was quite popular, so they knew they’d have a hit if they stayed true to the source. Finished book 2, I can definitely see why this story struck a chord with people now.
