Differences between anime and LN

 * In the Light Novels, prior to Volume 3, Kiyotaka's personality is that of a regular high school student who is aware of his surroundings and wants to get along with his classmates.

In the anime, however, he is emotionless from the beginning, making his actions look contradictory to what they were intended to in the Light Novels.

 * In the Light Novel, there are 40 students per class. In the anime, there are only 25 per class.
