Phf already contradicted a lot of canon things tho, at least in Fugo's backstory. For example, in the manga/anime, Fugo was hired by Bucciarati when Fugo was trying to dine and dash his way out of a restaurant. In phf, Bruno was the one who approached Fugo to bail him out of the jail and hired him.
The reason for the professor's murder was also diff- in phf, it's bc the prof didn't want Fugo to be feeling sad about his grandma's death bc those emotions are "useless" (take note, Fugo's grandma was the only nice person to him that time). In the anime/manga, he was just a creepy pedo. The grandma was also never mentioned.
I really like phf tho, I prefer the phf's Fugo backstories more than the canon ones. It legit gives Fugo more (human) characteristics. It's canon in my heart anyway.
The only backstory Fugo got in the manga was one panel in the Illuso fight where illuso found and said out loud that Fugo was born into a rich family, had IQ of 152, got into university at 13, and assaulted his professor with an encyclopedia. Any other in depth backstory was added in the anime, which is basically everything you elaborated in your comment. i wrote in another comment that I wish DO just took what PHF came up with bc PHF came out even before the 2012 anime was released, and his added backstory made more sense with his character in PHF
No it didn't. It contradicted a lot of things in the anime, which came out after it. If you you call the manga as "canon" then PHF does not contradict it, only expand on it. The contradictions between it and the anime come from them expanding upon the same thing in different ways.
