i hope that this hasn't been done yet in this forum, but i haven't seen it so i'm gonna take a whack:

Which did you like better, the manga or the anime?

Personally I liked the manga better, Kaname and Sosuke were closer and had a more romantic connection, Kaname and Tessa were more friends, and Tessa was less annoying.

Though i did like how the anime explained Soskue's past better.

The manga!!

Absolutely, it seems to be more personable and it explains the whispered a bit more. But it does neglect Sousuke more. He seems even more goofy in the manga and a lot less serious. You have a point - Tessa is a lot more likeable in the manga.

:) They both compliment each other, I couldn't live life one without the other :D

Both. Anime is done in too good a taste to be called worse.

Manga gets my vote. Although, don't get me wrong, I like the anime a lot, the manga rounds out the characters better. Of course, I have yet to see the Second Raid, so who knows?

Ok maybe the novel should have been an option. Because yes, it is good.

I actually wanted to vote for the novels but since that wasn't an option I would have to say the manga. The anime is great too. But I like the additional romantic moments and hints in the manga so it gets the vote.

But for the ultimate choice for the Kaname and Sousuke pairing the novels win hands down. :D
