Hello there . For everyone who has read at least the first volume of the light version of this series , can you help me compare it with the manga version and tell me how many volumes or chapters of the first 23 chapters of the manga version adapt from the light novel version . Of course , there are story differences between the light novel version and manga but since the manga chapters take light years to be translated , I want to start buying the light novels that have official EN translations . If you don't want to read the manga chapters to understand how chapter 23 of the manga ends open the spoilers
(if my explanation in the spoilers section is lacking please ask using the appropriate spoilers tag )

@Wolfenmond Thank you very much for the response . So just to be sure , you are telling to begin from the third volume from the 3rd volume of the light novel?

@Wolfenmond Perfect. Again thanks very much for your help . Sorry for the barrage of questions but I have one last question . Do you know if the manga version skips a lot of things from the light novels ?

@Yubisoft
No problem at all
The LN leans heavier on the inner monologue of Eizo, but nothing major was skipped. In other words, the manga is pretty near true to the LN

I know I'm a bit late, but I agree. The manga is pretty true to the LN, but condensed in a VERY efficient (but still faithful) way. What I mean by that is that there's a lot of repetitive and sometimes almost dry descriptions of VERY mundane events, like forming a sword, which the manga will shorten to just a few frames, instead of 3 or 4 paragraphs (as it sometimes feels). The LN's are still enjoyable, but can sometimes be meticulous, if that makes sense. The manga has so far been skillful at adapting this in a reliably better-paced manner, in my opinion.

Basically, the character work is exquisite in the manga, while the meticulous craftsmanship steps are what's mostly glossed over (often in the form of inner monologue as mentioned by Wolfenmond), but still true to the intent.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
