Differences Between the Anime and Manga

 * The scene where Osamu remembers Replica upon seeing the rice cooker, as well as Rindō's following visit, are anime-exclusive. Rindō is only seen when he goes to the rooftop to talk to Yūma.

Trivia

 * Osamu's mistaking a rice cooker for Replica alludes to the fact that Ashihara designed Replica based on a rice cooker.
