I started out by watching the anime for Gunslinger Girl, and now I want to
finish the story by reading the Manga. On what chapter does the anime end? And
does the anime skip or change any chapters?

I guess what I'm really asking is:

What would I need to read, in order to cover the difference between the Anime
and the Manga?

Difference Between the Anime and Manga for Gunslinger Girl?


There are no relevant differences between the manga and the first season of
the Gunslinger Girl anime, as far as I am aware. However, the manga chapters
are ordered different in comparison to the anime. The last anime episode of
the first season matches the contents of chapter 8 of the manga, which is
about half in the first omnibus-format book release, but following chapters do
match contents of earlier anime episodes.

Since I haven't watched the second season of the Gunslinger Girl anime, I just
looked up the ending of the anime and compared it with the manga. Since the
anime ends in the first confrontation with Pinocchio, it matches chapter 15 of
the manga, near the end of the first omnibus-format book release. I cannot say
anything in regards to the other second season anime episodes.

My honest recommendation is to read the manga from the first chapter. The
order might be a bit different, there might be a bit more background story,
and certainly some manga scenes from these first chapters are referenced
throughout the progression of the series. All by all, around ~16 chapters will
only took you an hour or so, especially since you're familiar with the current
setting.
