<p>I have only watched (season one of) the <em>Shingeki no Kyojin</em> anime, and have not read any of the manga. </p>

<p>As I watch the <em>Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou</em> anime, which is airing this season, I am starting to get a sense that I am at risk of being spoiled for content which is currently manga-only. Nothing glaring comes to mind yet (though that could just be because e.g. I'm failing to notice gags that are based on manga-only content), though there's <a href="https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/27527/who-is-this-ghost-from-episode-8-of-shingeki-kyojin-chuugakkou">a character from episode 8 who I don't think I know</a>, and an altercation between two characters in episode 3 that I was told comes from a flashback that hasn't been animated yet. </p>

<p>Can someone who has read the (main) manga and is watching <em>Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou</em> (and perhaps has read the source manga for that) tell me how much of a risk I'm at of spoiling myself for content that hasn't been animated yet? </p>

<p>(If there's a high risk of spoilage, I figure I may as well put it off until season 2 airs in 2016.)</p>

Having read the original manga, I think the worse case scenario is you not getting a few gags and not recognising a few characters, there has not been that much spoilers and references that would spoil the 2nd season for you since the characters are depicted in a silly fashion without relation to the main plot of the original manga.

@senshin Dude, that's exactly what I thought when I first watched that spin-off series XD I didn't expect them to do something like that.

Is it safe for me to watch Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou as an anime-only viewer?

I recommend watching the anime first as a good overview of the series. Then read the manga, to cover any: plot holes/extras/gags and to get more info. It doesn't really matter because the anime (**most** of the time) follows the manga (In Soul Eater, the anime and manga are different but the story continues differently so it isn't spoiling anything because it's a different story).
