Got around to watching Seto no Hanayome and reading the manga, and I have to say it's one of the most funniest anime/manga love comedies of all time.ANIMEOP: Romantic Summer - SUN & LUNARED: Asu he no Hikari 明日への光 - Hinoi AsukaPlot:A middle-school boy named Nagasumi Michishio and his two parents are on vacation at his grandma's house, when all of a sudden he nearly drowns in the Seto Inland Sea.

Though, I have to say I like the anime a little better because of how much livelier and more colorful it is than the manga (we also get to hear San's super cute voice (:). Because the anime isn't a cruddy adaption of the manga, there's no reason not to like it better than the manga, right?Aside from that, all my opinions on the manga is the same as the anime, no?
