Having trouble with Ki

[Kronsell]

or

Both show different ways to write Ki, and as a learner, 2 days ago, i'm unsure on the difference or if either is accepted.

 

[Kraise]

They're essentially the same thing.
If anything, the difference between them is similar to the difference between western cursive / print/ type writing.

Any person able to read japanese will comprehend and accept both writing styles as well.

A more "complete" explanation on the matter could probably be given to you by Toritoribe'san(japanese native) though.

Be aware that it isnt much of a big deal and should not hinder your progress studying!

The left one "separated strokes" is usually, or more likely almost always, used when handwritten. It's the same also for さ.

I started out writing the first one when I was laboriously practicing my hiragana and ended up writing the second after a while, it's just quicker and easier. I don't really notice the difference when reading now.
