The manga ends at volume 12. When the anime was made, the manga hadn't finished so these last few episodes deviated a bit from the original comic. I really didn't think episode 13 was necessary, but that's just my preference as I liked the ending to the manga just the way it was. I liked the fact that Chidori had a larger role to play in the anime. She really ought to have been a counter-balance to Nanoka. While quite not meeting my expectations (I had been comparing this series to Someday's Dreamers), it was still a good show. I still don't like the ending though.

First edition comes with stickers and a postcard of toddler Nanoka and father (I think this a picture used in the opening too).
