*** While it's obviously understandable given the circumstances, Kei actively freaks out a number of times in the first chapters, such as when he has a panic attack in chapter 1 after finding out that he's a demi-human.

*** It's subtle, but Sato seems to treat demi-humans with a sort of reverence in the first couple of chapters, talking about how he wants to "show a path" to Kei and describes Tanaka being a demi-human as a "blessing," making him come across as a sort of cult leader. This is pretty much dropped as early as chapter 6. When talking about how Kei failed his and Tanaka's SecretTestOfCharacter, he does so in a completely objective and to-the-point manner without any of the flowery language he used before that.

Changed line(s) 36 (click to see context) from:
* Bowdlerize: A relative example. One of Sato's terroristic actions in the is flying a plane into a major government building. In the anime, he instead manages to bring down a skyscraper down on it. While both are horrible acts of terrorism that lead to many deaths, the latter is a bit more "fantastic" compared to the former which occurred in real life. One can imagine that it was changed to make it less uncomfortable for that reason.
