Thank you for your input, @eaudebla, as well as your upvote! 🤗
I read the original manga years ago, but time has passed and I would definitively have to refresh some details. For the most part I thought the original story's essence remains there: nevertheless, as you said, there are a lot of changes, both in newly-added characters as in changes to the original ones (Jinmen's origin - and, therefore, Akira's parents -, Ryo Asuka's background, the rappers which were originally bikers, Taro's cause of demise... Too many to keep avoiding spoilers). That's why I edited the review to better reflect your opinion.
However, I wouldn't say I disliked said changes. I can get some of those were necessary to modernize the setting, and I would even say some of those have a better impact in the story. At the end of the day, though, we can always agree to disagree 😆
