Is the Princess Tutu manga any different from the anime, and does it add anything to the story?


Per my knowledge, Princess Tutu's anime adaptation came first and was remade
into a manga later on. Does the manga of the show remain faithful to the
anime, or are there differences between them? Does it add anything to the
story?




From [wikia](http://princesstutu.wikia.com/wiki/Princess_Tutu_manga) :

> The entire story of the manga is different from that of the anime with
> absent characters, too. Focusing more on the ballet side of things rather
> than the fairy tale elements that appeared in the anime, the manga brings
> with it a fresh look at the setting of Princess Tutu.
>
> We could have listed all the differences between the manga and anime but
> there are so many that it would serve no point and result in telling the
> entire story.

So even though they share same name and have similar themes, they are so
different as to be considered two different things.
