The manga illustrations by Yu are softer and gentler when compared to Hosoda's style.
Though you'd still think that down right refusing social services into her house to see the kids would have caused them to sic the police on her. The film does handwave this to some extent as Hana doesn't appear to have told anyone she was leaving the city, and the town she moved to is much more remote. Artistic License Law: It's highly unlikely that social services would leave Hana alone just because she moved.They do seem to share the Honshu's elongated snouts and lanky bodies, but their size, thick fur, and long legs give them more in common with timber wolves. The wolf people are depicted as Honshu wolves, which were only about a foot tall in real life and had short legs. Artistic License Biology: Zig-zagged.Hana: Ame, wasn't I supposed to teach you something important in your life by now? What did I teach you?
Aside from exploring some of the character's inner thoughts, the book also goes into a bit of Hana's life before entering college and explains some of the history of the country town the family moves to. The light novel based on the film sticks a lot closer to the original source material, due in large part to being written by Mamoru Hosoda himself.It also gives a possibly slightly happier ending than the film, implying that Ame still visits Hana occasionally after he chooses to live as a wolf she finds a peach left by the door, similar to how she took a peach to give to Sensei when Ame took her to meet him. While the manga adaptation compresses a lot of the story for sake of flow of plot, it makes up for it by having a few tidbits of bonus story, such as a small comic where Yuki catches a cold, and an epilogue that gives us a glimpse at Yuki's life at her new school, while she writes a letter to her mom.We don't learn much more, but despite that it's still a nice little bonus, as it builds his character some more. The English dub explains the wolf man's life before he met Hana in more detail near the beginning of the movie than the original Japanese version did. This is justified in that she probably had Yuki within her first year or so of college, meaning she is still pretty young. Absurdly Youthful Mother: Hana, so young-looking and cute that she can easily be mistaken for Yuki and Ame's older sister.
The film also stars Takuma Hiraoka as Sohei Fujii and Bunta Sugawara as Grandpa Nirasaki.
