Trivia[]

  • Putting aside the fact of it retells events of "A New Beginning", "Pappiliodya" (replacing Jennifer Memorial Tree and titular creature's situation with volleyball match), "Luna Nova and the White Dragon" (to give the way for Sucy's backstory that originally proposed in AnimeExpo 2017) differently and implied similar plan to "Blue Moon", "What You Will", and "Samhain Magic" (the manga has Ursula tells Akko about the second Word earlier coupled with the plot of Diana's sickness and supposed interschool broom race Woodward orchestrated) that mostly fell through due to it has since discontinued after 3 volumes, the manga remains faithful to the anime continuity and even resolved mysteries that yet to be answered in the TV Series proper in the same vein of Chamber of Time Game's Sub Events.

  • The manga also adapted proposed backgrounds of some of the franchise's main characters previously proposed in its official panel at AnimeNEXT 2017 through following chapters:
    • Chapter 5: Sucy was adopted by Ramzan Manbavaran along with other numerous lost children at her orphanage, though there's no mention of her experiments being motivated by the desire to locate her biological family.
    • Chapter 11: This chapter established Amanda's parents forced their daughter to attend Luna Nova so she can become the reluctant heiress to their family business and with it, their business ties with their associates in magic community following the passing of her predecessor which implied to be her grandmother, severely affecting her views about magic and the academy itself. The business in question however, was left ambiguous whether being foretune-telling.
    • Chapter 12: Jasminka's eating habit is the result of her eating a Hunger Faery by mistake as a child and had she not stopped eating while awake, will result it to overtake her, turning its host into a car-sized version of itself before proceeding to eat almost everything in it's path, even people except salty things. Even so, the fact of it being a demon which existence inexplicably tied to Holodomor was omitted arguably for the sake of maintaining the manga's family-friendly image in the same vein with the anime.
