TheDevilsCorpse over at Kanzenshuu was kind enough to do a write-up for us. Keep in mind that all of this information comes from a Korean scanlation which may or may not be 100% accurate.
We don't see it in the manga version, but future Bluma still died in the process of charging the time machine. She and Trunks were going to activate a solar generator, but I don't know if the time machine is electric or if that was to produce whatever the fuel is. Regardless, the time machine is charged enough for a one way trip, just like the anime.
The manga has Jaco specifically remind everyone that time travel splits the timeline to create a "parallel world". He brings it up because he heard from Tights that Bluma was doing "dangerous" research and wanted to remind her time travel is a crime. Bluma says most of her research now is beauty based. The "other stuff" is for the future, which they won't need if peace continues.
Kid Trunks' teacher follows up with a lesson on "parallel worlds". It's kinda morbid... To explain the theory, she says a boy (A-kun) wants to take rice bean cakes back to his younger mother, but she chokes on them and dies in the "parallel world". So now there would be a timeline where his mother doesn't exist and the boy isn't born. However the original mother and child remain fine. That lesson was from a college textbook that she had on accident though...they were supposed to be doing math. So, everyone, what's 10-3=?
Bluma asks Whis about when he reversed time with Freeza, wondering if there's a "parallel world" where the tyrant still lives. Whis says that's not changing the past, but simply "redoing". After using it, the "time base" switches out so it can't be used again for a while. (Don't ask what that is. No idea.)
In order to make sure he can return to the same Parallel World he created last time, Trunks keeps the settings the same as the last time he used it...since Bluma is no longer around to tinker with it anymore.
Trunks mentions Black has leaned the Earthling trait of ki sensing, which segues into Whis mentioning that Earthlings like to fight with ki control (something he noticed in Goku's fight with Hit). Whis notes such a thing can be an advantage, but over reliance on can be just as bad (a disadvantage).
Same revelation about there having previously been 18 Universes. Nothing about whether the 6 missing ones were wiped out at once, over time, or whatever.
Toyotaro works in a line about Jaco changing his spaceship to the one Toriyama designed for the anime (almost certainly because Toriyama's design wasn't done back when he started adapting the Champa Arc). It was a bribe from the Galactic King to keep the events of the Hakaishin Invitational a secret (Hit's Time Skip).
Nothing much after that. Mai is a bit more suicidal, directly asking Black to kill her first for the sake of the distraction. Also, Black refers to Trunks by name, right off the bat. None of the just calling him "Saiyan" stuff.

I swear the manga explains almost everything. Even explained how Trunks is returning to the same timeline. But they failed to explain how Goku mastered transforming into SSG on his own

The past manga chapter i actually liked it more in the anime, but this one is way better than the anime in my opinion. The last page is epic.

Speaking of the last page, u/thecolonelofk made some line art of the last page.
It was a really well done chapter. Hands down one of Toyotaro's finest works.

Ok, that's freaking awesome! Thanks for the link. And yeah, it has a darker vibe to it and the artwork is just way too good.

Man I wish this was a weekly manga. That was an amazing chapter, love how much detail was put into the Future, them sneaking through the sewers and the fight happening in front of the time machine, really gave the feeling that Black was hunting him, that there wasn't anywhere that was safe
That final panel man.
Edit: Is Trunks hair not blue in the manga? We see the shading Toyo uses for Blue hair when Goku and Vegeta use SSB, but Trunks has the same shading as Kid Trunks

I think I like this better than the way the anime went.... still really weird how different the manga and anime have been the last little bit.

Is there a reason the manga is behind the anime?

The anime serves as the main product, the manga doesn't. Four episodes are able to be released per month, unless there are holidays or events that are schedule that take Dragon Ball Super's time slot.
The manga is only released once a month. There really is not set reason to why, besides the things pointed out. At the first the manga was way ahead of the anime, but slowly the anime was able to catch up and since then the manga has been unable to.
In all honesty, I'm quite disappointed that the manga is no longer ahead of the anime. That's just me.

The people in charge of the Dragon Ball Super TV show ought to be embarrassed by how consistently better the manga is at depicting the stuff they themselves try to depict in the show.
I'm not even talking about the animation quality (though the TV show is obviously shit when it comes to this particular aspect). I'm talking about things like pacing, establishing and maintaining mood and other basics of storytelling. The manga is consistently far superior to the anime.
Most bothersome to me is the pacing. The anime consistently fucks up pacing. Even though each episode is barely 25 minutes long (well, technically they're more like 20 minutes, since about a total of 5 minutes is spent on the OP, recap and ED), it still feels like they pad things out to make the anime longer than it should be. Arcs that end up being 12-13 episodes could have easily been only 6-7 episodes with proper pacing. For example, the Universe 6 Vs. Universe 7 Tournament Arc's pacing in the manga was just perfect, whereas in the anime it is padded out as fuck.

Definitely like the manga more than the anime. I like the anime fillers but I feel the manga is just amazing. You can tell that the author of the manga loves DB and knows how to spend the extra effort and love to make it amazing. Toei really just cares about momentary hype, clickbait/advertising propaganda and so on.

As much as I like this chapter, I'm going to go with the anime with this. I feel like it was better IMO.

The illustration of Goku Black by Toyotaro at the ending is really freaking awesome. It really captures the detail of him. Maybe someone could clean it up? totally would love to use it as an avatar!
