Finally got around to reading volume 1 of School-Live. Man, the anime took a lot of liberties (though as far as I can tell, for the better). Mainly this stems from the anime including Miki and Taroumaru in the cast from the beginning (Miki first appears in the last page of volume 1) and thus expanding scenes to include them, but in general a bunch of reveals are better paced and spaced out in the anime. I like how they adapted it a lot more.

Not that it's underwhelming as a manga or anything. It's fine, and the art is great. Still, been a while since I've seen an adaptation that unambiguously improves on the original work.
