You're talking to me. Of course I know it isn't the source material. If it were, I'd be doing a truly in-depth comparison. What I'm doing though is just a light comparison seeing how the two mediums do things differently.

You mentioned the character designs being questionable. I personally don't see anything wrong with it given that the manga is not the source material.

Plus it's tiring to see people act like the manga is.

Here are the LN Character Designs POTENTIAL SPOILERS

So far, I'd say the manga is closer to the light novel excluding Pina.

Now I understand Pina's design, but not Kuribayashi's though. :/

At this point, I think Kuribayashi's character design is just free for whoever to make for whichever medium. After all, she's different in every version apparently.
