I have not seen the anime, but the part with the handshakes is missing form the light novel too. I was really sad when i read the novel and couldn't find it there. Maybe the anime is closer to the novel rather to the manga.
Where can I watch the anime pls
It's on prime video
Did the anime got ahead of manga?
Because I've never seen the shield girl
As HrisiG said, they are probably following the novel.. There are a lot of differences in the anime and manga, so the anime maybe close to the novel..
I just watched it and totally different from the manga!
Same here. That was one of my favorite scenes
I'm kinda upset with the anime.. It's not the same with the manga in some chapters.. like for example the episode where the swordsmith - Bardel was introduced..he handshakes people to measure their strength.. it was not shown in the anime.. I was especially looking forward for that to be shown in the anime cause it highlights Beryl's strength and he was compared to a Leviathan.. I was kinda bummed it was not shown
