The video takes elements from the first, second and fourth graphic
novels.  The agglomeration is, IMO, nowhere near as good as the
original; needless to say, the video story changes everything around to
fit a simpler storyline, so you miss most of the points Shiro was trying
to make in the manga.

Still, if a copy's readily available, it's OK.
