Fate\Stay night Manga

[KrayZ33]

It's true, I just read the virst Volume.. his daily life wasn't presented at all.. I can only guess that they show it a bit in Volume 2 or so (with Sakura etc), since they seem to have a different order in presenting things (for example rin's ritual is at the beginning of volume 2 or ending of volume 1... (the anime and game had it in the very beginning)... basically the Manga starts 3 pages before Shirou meets Archer and Lancer for the first time (I didn't count them but I was there in like 1 minute) In the game you had a lot more to do until you come to that place, even if you leave out Rin's prolouge ( the manga is cleary focussed on Shirou's point of view)

However the explanatons so far were decent.. they were short but I doubt that someone has problems finding out what is going on... but as you already said it's missing out a lot to introduce the characters

there was only 1-2 pages about Shirou's past and foster father... it seemed a bit like they wanted to squeeze it in, so they can go on..
If you played the game or at least watched the anime, you are really favored here imho.

but(!) I can't say that the manga is bad either...it's really action packed and it doesn't get boring.
