Trivia[]
- Bashame reveals that this chapter takes place in May.
- One of the texts that the back of Noko's jacket changes to, "Hino Life or Deer", is a reference to the phrase "life or death".
- As opposed to the regular adaptation of chapters of the manga, "Summer Deer Festival" has adapted majority of the author's doodles at the end of some of the chapters.
- Excluding the full adaptation of Chapter 24, the author's doodles adapted are: the six from Chapter 19, another six from this chapter, four from Chapter 30, and one anime exclusive segment.
Manga-Anime Differences[]
- In the anime, the mini-comic about Koshi accidentally using an antler as a straw had an added scene of Noko spying on her from behind the convenience store, dressed as the store clerk.
- During the scene where Chiharu offers Kinu the deer antler plush, Kinu's dialogue was revised in the anime to mention that she is the childhood friend of Kinu instead.
- The scene in which Torako was bombarded with questions and asked the Deer Club for help was heavily recontextualized.
- In the manga, she was already mentally tattered the day before. In the anime, she was initially confident that she got this in the bag.
- The scene in which students bombard Torako with problems was changed to be the day before the festival, rather than in it, and was combined with the scene that she asked the Deer Club for help.
- The anime adds a scene in which Anko proactively accepts Torako's plea for help.
- Bashame was missing for the majority of the festival in the manga, but in the anime, she was planting rice next to Torako.
- Torako is shocked when she realized that Noko is missing and Bashame answering is exclusive to the anime.
- The anime adds a scene that details an event prior to the 100-meter dash.
- In the manga, Torako tells Noko to stop being the center of attention for the unprompted photoshoot, in the anime she just groans in anger in her seat.
- The anime also adds a scene where family members of the students are allowed to partake in the festival as well, in which there are Yoshiharu, Inukai, and Tsunoda-san. There's no mention of that panel in the manga.
- The bread race was participated by the family members, not the students like in the manga.
- Kinu saying how the bear went for the bread instead of her is exclusive to the anime.
- Ms. Ukai being part of the festival is exclusive to the anime.
- The order of the scene of Torako running the obstacle race is changed when compared to the manga:
- Torako was tired, then received cheers from the audience, then regained the strength to continue running, eventually overtaking other competitors in the manga.
- Torako was tired, regained strength anyways to run, then begin to overtake other people. After this point did she receive cheers in the anime.
- That Torako was affected by the bomb in the race is exclusive to the anime.
- The background shot of Tsuchi being tied up as a hanging ornament is omitted in the manga.
- The anime adds a cheerleader segment, which has the Student Council cleaning up the mess after the obstacle race in the background.
- During the audience reaction after the Deer Club performance, Inukai and Yoshiharu's reactions are added.
- The anime redraws the appearance of the blond girl next to the redhead girl in this scene to match with her appearance in Chapter 30.
