Is "Read or Die" based on manga?


Both are based off mangas right? Do I have to read the mangas for either
series or can I just watch the OVA and animes and not have to read the mangas?




You can watch any anime and its OVA(s) without reading the manga. However,
usually manga do contain extra content that aren't covered in the anime and
OVA(s). So while you don't need to read the manga to watch the anime, you can
for an extra bit of info/story.

So you could read the manga on top of watching the anime and OVA(s) for Read
or Die, but it's not **necessary** to go through both. It could be fun though.
