The inside covers are usually very amusing, so be sure to check them out if you can! I’m not sure if they will be available in the English version but I hope you get to see them. If you are watching the anime on the DVDs, there are short bonus videos which are based on the inside covers of the manga volumes. The ending definitely makes room for more episodes in the future. However, after the confrontation, the situation is not drastically changed, and the story is by no means finished. Most likely, they decided that they wanted it to have more of an “ending” feel to it, rather than a sudden stop, so the ending of the anime has a rather dramatic confrontation (something which was definitely not in volume 8 of the manga but resembles something which happens in volume 10).
The ending of the anime was around volume 8 in the manga, but included things which were not in volume 8. Unfortunately this may be a few years from now. There are 25 episodes in season one of the anime, which is finished, but I believe there will probably be more made after there is enough material in the manga for another season.

The anime and manga are almost identical up until near the end (of the anime), and though there are small differences, they do not change anything fundamentally important about the series when they occur. What is the difference between the manga and anime? There are many other characters that appear in the series – Oz’s family, his best friend Gilbert (Gil), other members of the four main houses of nobility, Baskervilles, etc, which I will not talk about in detail so as not to spoil the plot.
Oz and Alice soon learn much more about what it means to form a contract between a human and a chain, especially what it means to form an illegal contract, which is what they have done. These three people are members of a mysterious organization known as Pandora, which was founded by the four houses. Upon returning from the Abyss, they are taken in by Sharon Reinsworth (Reinsworth being one of the other four houses), Xerxes Break, and Raven (adopted member of the Nightray house). In return, he promises to help her search for her lost memories, while also searching for the reason he was sent to the Abyss in the first place. The two of them form a contract, and she helps him leave the Abyss. However, as a chain, Alice is unable to leave the Abyss for good without the help of a human contractor. Alice is a “chain”, a creature of the Abyss with great power (though resembling a girl with long hair, she has the ability to turn into a giant black rabbit that wields a scythe). She says she was drawn to him through the sound of a pocket watch that Oz found the day of the ceremony, which plays music she and Oz both find strangely familiar. Rabbit) appears, fights with the Baskervilles briefly, and tells Oz she will be waiting for him in the Abyss. Before going to the Abyss, Alice (otherwise known as B. Oz’s existence is abruptly and completely changed during his coming-of-age ceremony (age 15), when the ceremony is crashed by the Baskervilles, who send Oz into the Abyss. Oz Vessalius is an unwanted child, born into one of the four main houses that hold powerful gates leading to the Abyss.

Luckily for me, the inside of the manga was even better! A series I didn’t know anything about until I decided to judge it based on its covers (pretty pretty).
