I think the English ones are fine though I can't read the Japanese to tell as a difference... I've at this point actually read Light Novels 1-4 of Realist Hero in their entirety... I can read on average one light novel a day, they each are floating around the 350-375 page mark. Pictures are a bit sparce, but seem good quality and match anime style.
I have on hand vol 5. and I got notice that 8, 9, and10 have shipped. 6, 7, and 11 are on back order where I ordered from. but if it is like when I ordered vol 3... threat only took them about 2 1/2 weeks to get in.
The anime only goes up to the beginning of Vol3 or so. Of what is there it seems to follow the anime pretty close, but here are some deviations and additions.
Several of the scenes show I think Souma's mental anguish more in the decisions he has made. The scene in the cafe where he met Hal and Foxia went slightly different in tone, but still same overall effect. The exact attitude and relationship of King and prince toward their daugther/sister is far more harsh and bitter. I could name a bunch of other variations, but really all are mostly minor but set slightly different ones in scenes....
I would have liked the arc with the intro of the mad scientist to have been a bit better presented, as I would have expected more actual interaction with Souma and the girl, rather than his mostly introspection...
The arc with the tent city late in vol 4 seems a bit late for him to have approached them on it. I would have at least liked more passing mention of him and the prime minister talking about the supposed prior failures.
As far as the slow burn romance/progression of the various relationships.... I'm not sure he is really going to keep these women at bay all that much longer with his delaying in progressing the relationship... seems to be running out of excuses to slow them down. I do have to wonder though, if they really would be as enthusiastic once they get him into the bed to do the deed they are pushing him toward, because if they really were as eager as they've made out it seems to me these gals are not the type to really just stand by but grab him and force him into the bedroom....
