Differences in manga and anime adaptation[]
The anime adaptation retains the overall story of the series, but changes many of the details. The beginning of the story and how Himeno Awayuki meets the Leafé Knights, and is changed to have Himeno jump from a bush and land on Hayate. However, in the manga, Himeno meets Shin standing in the forest while walking on her way to school.
The personalities and appearances of the Leafé Knights were changed, with the older knights given more mature appearances. Sasame is changed from a joyful flirt to a quieter and more serious man. Kei's appearance had the most changes than all of the other characters, from having shorter hair in the manga to having more of a longer and wavy hair that was put up in a high-ponytail in the anime adaption.
Some of the circumstances in the Awayuki household were also changed. In the anime, Natsue Awayuki's husband died rather than their being divorced. The servants of the house are kind to Himeno instead of picking on her. Mawata Awayuki is less interactive with her family, while Mayuni Awayuki only plays pranks on Himeno, rather than attempting to ostracize her at school or cause trouble with Natsue. Natsue is also changed to being distant, but relatively friendly to Himeno, with her jealousy of the girl removed completely.
The anime also has the family unaware of Himeno's association with the Leafé Knights until near the end of the series.
