Differences between the novel and anime

Sorry for being really late, I hope there are still a lot of JK fans still active in this forum. Just finished watching the series last week, love this anime so much that I fear that nothing will ever come close. Before I watched JK, I was addicted to FMA, Bleach, D-gray man, eyeshield 21 and was also a "narutard" hehehe. Everything pales in comparison to JK, this is the only anime that I watched that got me hooked in so much since elfen lied. I just hope they continue the story.

I'm currently reading the novels just started on "Demon Child" by the way, does anyone know what are the differences of the anime and novel??? I haven't seen Yuka in here even though in the anime she said that her story was just beginning when he met the older taiki in hourai

I think she meant like er own story, own life. Comparing to Youko's destiny that is in action already... Ya. In the novel the 2 friends of Youko didn't go with her to the other world. And of cos, the other difeerence is the Taiki arch is finished.

And apparently in the novel, Yoko went to an all girls' school...which means that Asano didn't even exist, much less for his involvement on the other side. But in the end, the anime turned out great with Asano, so it's actually pretty exciting to see what the novel has installed. (:

The reason being is that it was said to visually show (in an anime series) Yoko's character transformation it was needed for people to be around her to go through this transformation (this is where Yuka and Asano was used). To show the transformation through a novel has alot to do with imagination and therfore doesn't have to be as fast paced compared to an anime (well really any motion picture).
