I know that there are multiple Code Geass manga, but it's been a long time
since I've read them. I was wondering if they covered different timelines or
physical areas or if they were different perspectives of the same thing going
on.

question
code-geass
Are the Code Geass manga just different perspectives?


**Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion** is almost the same as the anime
however there are no Knightmares and it's a lot more shorter

**Code Geass: Suzaku of the Counterattack** is based off the anime but in
Suzaku's point of view

**Code Geass: Jet Black Renya** is a prequel to the anime set during Japan's
Edo Period

**Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally** is a different story where Lelouch
disappears after making a contract with C.C and Nunnally makes a Geass
Contract herself

so in answer to your question, Suzaku of the Counter Attack is a different
perspective to the anime, Jet Black Renya is set in Japan but in a different
time, Nightmare of Nunnally is totally different

[**Code Geass: Lelouch of the
Rebellion**](http://myanimelist.net/manga/1528/Code_Geass%3a_Hangyaku_no_Lelouch)
is a retelling of the anime. It's been ages since I read this, but I don't
recall there being any major differences in terms of plot. (It wasn't a shot-
for-shot adaptation, though; there were minor changes here and there.

[**Code Geass: Suzaku of the
Counterattack**](http://myanimelist.net/manga/1530/Code_Geass%3a_Hankou_no_Suzaku)
starts out as a retelling of the anime from Suzaku's perspective, but diverges
fairly quickly into an alternate-universe story. Suzaku and Lelouch end up
joining forces to fight Schneizel

[**Code Geass: Nightmare of
Nunnally**](http://myanimelist.net/manga/1547/Code_Geass%3a_Nightmare_of_Nunnally)
is an alternate-universe story featuring mostly the same characters and some
of the same historical background but otherwise wildly different. As the title
suggests, Nunnally is the main character, and Lelouch is mostly out of the
picture. Nunnally makes a contract with a being called Nemo, which allows her
to control an unusual Knightmare, things unfold from there.

[**Code Geass: Tales of an Alternate
Shogunate**](http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Code_Geass%3a_Tales_of_an_Alternate_Shogunate)
is an alternate-universe story featuring alternate versions of many of the
characters, back in the year 1853. In this story, "Geass" is actually the
power to summon and control Knightmares. The characters use this power to fend
off Perry's Black Ships (except that this time, Perry is Brittanian, not
American). Stuff happens thereafter.

[**Code Geass: Renya of the
Darkness**](http://myanimelist.net/manga/17311/Code_Geass%3a_Shikkoku_no_Renya)
is supposedly set in the main continuity (back in the 1800s), but is basically
an alternate-universe story. I've only read part of this, but basically none
of the main characters from the main story appear besides C.C., and the name
"Knightmare" is given to weird human-sized beings that cause trouble for the
main characters.

[**Code Geass: Oz, the
Reflection**](http://myanimelist.net/manga/42381/Code_Geass%3a_Soubou_no_Oz)
is an alternate-universe story supposedly set between the two seasons of the
anime. I haven't read this, so I don't know much about it.

There is also apparently a 4koma manga called [**Barcode Geass: Lelouch of the
Sales**](http://myanimelist.net/manga/25854/Barcode_Geass%3a_Hanbai_no_Lelouch).
I haven't read it, but it appears to be a parody manga about Lelouch working
as a store clerk, and as such is clearly an alternate-universe story.
