Spoiler for Chapter 1-3:

- It explains Hanyuu's sudden disappearance after Matsuribayashi.
- It presents Rika in a better light than anime counter part. At St.Lucia, Rika tried to get Satoko involved as much as possible. She offered her help with study in a more considerate way. It was Rika's new 'friends' who play the antagonist role by trying to push away Satoko from Rika.
- Meanwhile, Satoko also tried her best to fit in the St.Lucia environment. She actually went to the tea party with Rika in Meguri. Study is still a big problem for her.
- Interestingly, Meguri has never mentioned about Satoko's recovery from Hinamizawa syndrome.

Meguri seems written like Ryukishi and Tomato were reading about all of SotsuGou's critics and then decided to listen to every single one so far.
You wanted Shion? Well here she is! Want Satoko to actually make an effort? Here you go! Better idea of Rika and Satoko's thoughts? You got it! And on that note...

Spoiler for Chapter 2.2:

We end at the beginning of Satokowashi-hen's third episode here. Biggest difference so far is that Satoko's trap injures Rika instead. She's even knocked unconsciousness. Incidentally, the girl who got hurt in the anime seems to be the one who noticed Satoko (who runs away from the scene). Also Satoko continues to try her hardest, until she's literally brought to tears remembering the good times (This is where she comes up with her trap idea).

Edit: Oh yeah, the trap incident happens later in the story here too (Second year of St Lucia instead of the first)
