The biggest difference is when the romance plot begins. In the film, we first have a slightly longer introduction to the characters, so I'll skip to the moment where both plots connect, which is when Madeline and Edgar play music together. The equivalent would be Mr. Stain and Lifa, who do the same, making the plot revolve around the idea that the girl doesn't know what the person she fell in love with through his music looks like

Madeline thinks it was Miles, but Lifa has no idea who could have played music with her (although as the plot progresses she catches a glimpse of him and gets a vague idea of what he looks like) this is another fundamental difference, at first, they don't have the same plot of a character stealing credit for what someone else did, at least not yet, but we will get to the point where they both have this

Edgar cannot see Madeline because he's a computer, he doesn't have much mobility to go outside, Mr. Stain cannot see Lifa since being honest his methods of meeting her were somewhat crazy and/or dangerous, and he's also starting to have these self-esteem problems and fear that she will see him from a distance

At one point Handsome Mr. Stain (the reflection of Mr. Stain, being him but "better") replaces Mr. Stain and goes with Lifa, she assumes that he is the one she wanted to meet all this time because he looks similar to the vague idea she had of Mr. Stain. This is where they finally present the same problem: someone is stealing credit for someone else's music

(Edgar could be considered the "antagonist" in his film, but Handsome Mr. Stain is the antagonist in his cartoon, which is curious knowing that these two audiovisual products have the same main plot but this characters have different roles in it)

Let's go to the end, Edgar gives up trying to find love because "love is a game for two people” since he never found a way to make it work including him, while Mr. Stain resignedly plays his harmonica and Lifa listens, realizing that this is the music she loved, they look for each other completely ignoring Handsome Mr. Stain, they finally meet, and that's how the chapter ends.

My conclusion? This chapter is like an alternative universe where Edgar and Madeline were happy together

A rather curious comparison, but it’s actually really accurate 😭

So, I have the feeling that we have very little content from the Masudaverse so I thought I could give something to the fandom, so please if you have an idea (characters, ships or other content from the Masudaverse) send it in the question section of my blog 🙏

I don't promise to make the best drawing of all or be fast but I would like to give something to the fans that still exist
