Tokyoberry, I've merged your thread with our original Princess Tutu topic. There are plenty of people here who would be happy to talk about it with you. :yes:

Vol. 1 of the manga or anime? ^^ I have the manga and it is really cute! I still can't believe they turned a two volume manga into an anime series XD

I thought the anime came first? Though from reading the comments in the manga it seems more like they came out at around the same time. I must look into that.

Edit: Research done.

So it doesn't give the month so we can't be sure exactly when in '03 it was published until I do more research but so far it looks like the anime was started first.
