The anime is at about partway through volume 4 of original Jinki. I say "from Blade Comics" because Jinki and Extend were originally released from Gan Gan Comics. Gan Gan comics had fewer pages per volume (so more volumes) but were released sooner. Blade Comics with Mag Garden took over Jinki and Extend, along with several other manga released by Gan Gan, making the volumes longer.

In the Jinki: Extend manga volume 2 when Aoba fights Ryouhei to save Akao, Aoba kisses him then tells him to call her Shiba before blasting him with Cognate energy. (ouch >.< ) *spoilers*

Actually, Shiba is Aoba. In the Jinki: Extend manga volume 2 when Aoba fights Ryouhei to save Akao, Aoba kisses him then tells him to call her Shiba before blasting him with Cognate energy. (ouch >.< )

They've already done all the Jinki plot? I'm assuming you're meaning at episode 5, not episode 3... that still doesn't make sense though. Nine volumes covered in 5 episodes?

The anime is already at the end of the original Jinki manga stroyline, so it won't be rushed and we should be going full int Extend in an episode or two. I really want to see why Aoba is a bad guy though. Actually, neither Jinki nor Jinki: Extend manga series are that long, Jinki being 9 volumes and Extend being 6.

I'll take your word for it on Not-Hazuki being Aoba, but her voice seems to be different along with her appearance. Maybe Fumiko Orikasa is more versitile than I'm giving her credit for. I'd guessed that the Cognates were something along the lines of Gundam's Newtypes, it's a pretty common concept in Mecha anime. The swapping between plotlines is a little annoying actually. I'm really hoping they're going to do this in 26 eps, not 13, because it's setting up for an extremely rushed ending at the moment. This is pretty interesting.

Cognates can senses things like Newtypes. They can also make energy fields and shoot off energy beams and stuff. (Thankfully, not on the level of DBZ, just weak, electifying little things, nothing that would help them beat a Jinki bare-handed or anything ^^;) Aoba, Akao, and Rui are Cognates, and you can tell by that glowing thing Ryouhei was holding at the end of episode 1 when he was choking Akao. Usally, Cognates carry those around with them, unless they simply don't have one. Also, Cognates are basically Jinki’s version of Newtypes and humans with super powers.

I have all of the original Jinki manga, and have read the first 2 volumes of the Jinki: Extend manga (the anime is a coimbination of both, Jinki being Aoba's story and Jinki: Extend being Akao's story) Extend takes place 3 years after original Jinki, and somehow, Aoba has turned into a bad guy. O.o I think she might even be the leader of the bad guys. (She's at least a higher-up member. She even fought against Ryouhei in Extend volume 2 and almost killed him.) Although the anime is taking a slightly different turn from the manga, for the most part, it's holding true. And about Akao, she's a part-bad guy too. ("Part" because her memory of herself as a bad guy was wiped out from amnesia.) This I know from watching up to episode 5. Anyway, I thought I'd just clear up the thing about the blue-haired girl in the last pic above. Yes I know her hair is a slightly different color, but it is Aoba. 100% certainty. *SPOILERS AHEAD*
