scans_dailyYou look at the show, and you look at the comic, and you can see how the former follows from the latter.
Chapter 9 of the latter's a great example, because its adaptation in Episode 17 of the former is more than direct - it adds Nano to the protagonists' attempt to build a house of cards, lengthening the proceedings with more shenanigans.
Not only do those shenanigans feel of a part with the ones in the source material, but they're also elegantly terminated - after Nano falls asleep and is dragged away from the table, events proceed as they do in the original.
Mio and Yuuko step out for a second, take a breath, and step back in.
Their hearts, understandably, leapt out of their throats.
Yuuko, trying again, felt nervous.
She excused herself to the bathroom.
(The show's animation of Mio's shocked mouth is a wonderful translation of the way the angle you're seeing her from changes slightly in those three panels.)
Yuuko returned and took in the scene.
She and Mio did the only thing they could.
They had, at least, that consolation.
(Pagecount's 4 and under a half of 14 from a story that can be found in volume 1 of Keiichi Arawi's Nichijou, published under Kodansha's Vertical imprint.)
