Differences from the manga[]
- Ten doesn't appear in the manga version of both segments, since he wasn't introduced yet.
- a
- The manga compartment originally took place on Sport's Day, and Lum recognizes Ran having enrolled in Tomobiki High School when they're in a race together. The conversation about their childhood is the same. They're on opposing teams in the competition where a three-boys team act as horse for a girl, and she kisses Kōsuke Shirai from Ataru and Lum's team.
- Ran would enroll in Tomobiki High School later in Episode 35.
- b
- As there are two more chapters with Ran trying to get revenge on Lum in the manga between her introduction and that chapter, it changes the complexion of the setup a bit.
- The switch of Ataru and the fake one occurs on the ship instead of in a floaty pocket dimension.
