The manga is better than the manga imho but honestly it highly depends on what you like. This manga is quite old and the story is what was popular in those days. Despite all the defects, I still enjoy it but again, I may be bia as this is something I read first in my 20ies. But still, I believe there is far than this. The
Sure, this manga wasn't published yesterday however for those that didn't grow up with it like me, I find it really hard to like it bc of so many factors. But I get what you are saying of course! I have always wanted to read it a few years earlier and im sure I would have loved it. But im glad I read it now bc I can see all the wrong things happening here

The more I think about it, the more pissed off I get. There are SO MANY things wrong here (sexual assault, pedophilia, rape attempt, physical abuse, family abuse,...).
And Otani is a fucking jerk, feels like he never truly respected and loved Risa as a woman and a girlfriend. This story can be cute and fluffy but its so slow, full of misunderstandings till the end and the Fl is kind of miserable, being treated so badly by her family and bf.
This is so fucked up.
