Manga to Anime Differences

• All the characters speak standard Japanese, not dialects.
• Changed "Sakura Snow Shrine" to "Yukikage Shrine" and "Sakura Snow Festival" to "Yukikage Festival".
• Hajime attends the funeral wearing mourning clothes instead of uniforms.
• The cherry blossom season has been changed from 5 days from April 21st to 25th to 6 days from November 15th to 20th in line with the airing time of the anime version.
• Changed the timing of meeting Uozumi for the first time from when getting off the bus to when getting on the bus.
• Haruna commits suicide by throwing herself into the sea.
• Yukikage High's baseball club hasn't been abolished yet, and Shimazu and Tateishi are both active baseball club members.
• It was not made clear that Shimazu had broken his shoulder until the mystery was solved, and the scene of sexually harassing Fuyumi was taken seriously.
• Shimazu broke his shoulder at the autumn tournament.
• Fuyumi's corpse looks like it was pierced by an arrow.
• Hajime and Miyako meet Tatsuya Imai (on the side of Shimazu's father) at the shop where Haruna's mother works.
• Uozumi will be interrogated by the police after Ayaka's funeral. Also, the interrogation takes place at the police station, not at Uozumi's home.
• Added a scene where Hajime and Miyako go to the baseball club to deliver bread. When Shimazu throws the ball with his left arm instead of his right, Ichi realizes that Shimazu has broken his shoulder.
• Added a scene where Tateishi changes the light bulb in the room.
• The order of solving the mystery goes from ``criminal identification → criminal identification → footprint trick'' to ``criminal identification → footprint trick → criminal identification basis'', and when the footprint trick is revealed, three people other than Shimazu also come to Yukikage Middle School. Also, at that time, it was a uniform in the original, but in the anime version it is in plain clothes.
• After solving the riddle, Hajime tells Shimazu, "Try throwing a fastball with your dominant arm."
• Changed the object Tateishi threw from a stone to a baseball to prevent Shimazu from committing suicide.
• Miyuki did not appear in the original work, but in the anime, there is a scene in which Hajime and Miyuki fight at the beginning (the cause of the fight is unknown), and after that Miyuki appears every time to the extent that he looks out and cares about Hajime when he is away, and at the end. There is a scene where he receives a call from Kindaichi and (voluntarily) comes all the way to Yukikage Village to pick him up.
