Style From the New World or Shinsekai Yori is a Dystopian/Utopian Novel that was adapted into an Anime and Manga. The Anime version is faithful to the Novel while the Manga version takes more creative liberties in Part 2. Themes include rebellion vs conformity coping with loss and the performance of roles on society ie Dharma. The anime has censored sex scenes while the manga reveals a little more. Sex Scenes Like the novel the anime has Straight Yaoi and Yuri sex scenes. While the manga version lacks Yaoi sex scenes Yuri and Straight sex scenes are drawn in greater detail. The anime has clothed sex scenes between older teens with older teens. The manga has nude sex scenes between lolis and lolis part 1 adults and adults and one scene between an adult and a loli during part 2. I was surprised to find a book with Loli sex scenes in a high school library but the head librarian was french and Id venture to think that she saw more in the literary merits of the work over the sex scenes. Or the french librarian I know IRL was a pervert. Art While the anime characters are drawn with normal proportions and conservativeish clothing manga characters are more liberated. The manga versions have bigger boobs and butts and more curves to the point where the manga lolis have more curves than the anime adults. Kidomaru is drawn less pointy than his anime counterpart and more like Elias Ainsworth with muscles and flesh from Ancient Magus Bride. This could be a good or bad thing according to personal preference. Characters The manga introduces a bunch of side characters in part 2 that played a lesser role or no role in part 1. These characters add extra comedy melodrama and a sex scene but serve no deeper purpose to the plot. A rare example where the anime is lean but the manga has filler. The main characters are portrayed well but differently. Saki is more submissive while Maria is more Tsundere. Parts The novel has 2 parts subdivided into 4 chapters with 2 arcs for part 1 and 2 chapters with 1 arc for part 2. Chapters 1 and 2 can be called the loli arc with no sex scenes chapters 3 and 4 are the older teen arc and chapters 5 and 6 are the adult arc. The manga takes interesting liberties to combine the loli arc and the older teen arc into the same arc. This includes sex scenes and death scenes that should have happened to the older teens happening to the lolis instead. Part 1 of the manga is condensed perhaps for fears it may be cancelled as the anime can take its time with beautiful color aesthetics while the manga must make its mark with black and white. Part 2 has added filler as though part 1 was too condensed and filler was needed in order to sell a full book. Conclusion While the manga version is a great adaptation of a literary masterpiece on par with 1984 or Brave New World there is no reason to read the manga over the novel fanslation only or the anime unless you want to see the sex scenes. There is a relative derve of Shinsekai Yori hentai doujins that doesnt have Squealer playing the lead role as Ugly Bastard so if watching the anime or reading the novel has awakened a fire inside you check out the manga.
