Manga & Anime Differences

• Popp reads out the shop sign
• The shop sign's writings of its crossed entries are different: the ending "no" syllable of iron axe is using a different alphabet and the value is changed from 2500G to 2600G. The ending syllable of Sizeable scissors are different, seemingly corresponding now to "gold hammer".
• Removed the flashback against Hyunckel and Flazzard
• Matoriv asks Popp to draw Dai's crest
• Narration is given to Leona
• The entire Department Store sign is filled out and includes icons: the basement is stated to be groceries but most others characters that were hidden by speech bubbles are missing in the anime.
• Dai's thoughts when seeing the knight armour are given to Popp
• After the dancer's costume, Leona tries on an Angel's robe, a scandalous swimsuit, Garish garb, and a cat suit
