Well, found it...

D.N. ANGEL: THE MANGA VS THE ANIME
On the surface, Daisuke Niwa is an ordinary 14-year old kid. Unfortunately, Daiskue happens to be heir to a family curse, so whenever he sees or thinks about the girl he loves, he transforms into the phantom art their, Dark Mousy!
Though the prmise is the same, the anme version (From ADV Films) reimagines the manga (From TOKYOPOP) in some fascinating ways.
IT'S CALLED FORSHADOWING
The very first scene in the first episode of the anime depicts the epic conflict between Dark and his nemesis, Krad. The manga, conversely, does not introduce or allude to Krad at all until volume four and otherwise reveals his antagonistic relationship with Dark at a much more leisurely pace.
WHERE IN THE WORLD
The names of the characters are Japanese. The name of the town they live in, Azumanocho, is also Japanese. Yet the world of D.N.Angel doesn't look much like Japan! In the manga the backgrounds are not drawn in any great detail, though the architecture alludes to a less than Japanese setting. On the other hand, the anime is set in a lush and fully rendered elegant European town loosely based on Italian and Frech locales.
EXCHANGED STUDENT
Episode 14 of the anime debuts Mio, a mysterious female exchange student to Azumano Middle School. Though designed by the orginal manga artists Yukiru Sugisaki, Mio is a character created exclusively for the anime. She does not appear anywhere in the manga. Is this Mio friend or foe? What part has she been given to play? You'll have to see the anime to find out!
END OVER END
After 26 episodes, the anime has finished, but the manga has not. Sugisaki has not yet given up on D.N. Angel, which stands currently at 10 volumes and has been on hiatus since January 2005. What is to become of Daisuke and Dark, Risk and Riku? Who is the enigmatic Argentinian, and what does he inted for Dark and Krad? The anime doesn't answer these questions, so we'll all have to hold our breath until the manga does!
*pants* Sorry for any typos...but there it is. The entire article...thought it was interesting enough to type it all up instead of just the part about more manga to come 😉
