Does the Spice and Wolf anime follow the same events as the manga I've been thinking about whether or not I should start getting the Spice and Wolf manga, or to wait to see if there is a season 3 to the anime. So I am wondering, does the anime closely follow the events in the manga or does it diverge at some point and become more original?

EDIT: Logan M has stated that the anime is sourced from the light novels rather than the manga, so now the initial question is slightly different, I want to know how much difference there is between the manga and the anime.
Both manga and anime generally follow the novels well, but there are differences between them:


The two seasons of the anime adapt volumes 1,2,3 and 5 of the novels, skipping volume 4.
The manga does not skip volume 4, but has yet to catch up with the anime.


Personally, I would suggest you to take a look at everything, it's all awesome :P
