I decided to read this manga after re-watching the anime and being reminded how much the show leaves unresolved。 I started from the very beginning, just in case there were any changes between the manga and the show (although I didn't notice any until around Chapter 20 out of 84)。 I wish more of the show had been animated, because I love the direction the manga took in its later chapters。 Especially near the end, there are critiques of capitalism and amatonormativity, which I didn't expect from t I decided to read this manga after re-watching the anime and being reminded how much the show leaves unresolved。 I started from the very beginning, just in case there were any changes between the manga and the show (although I didn't notice any until around Chapter 20 out of 84)。 I wish more of the show had been animated, because I love the direction the manga took in its later chapters。 Especially near the end, there are critiques of capitalism and amatonormativity, which I didn't expect from this series, but which really enhance the themes and symbolism。 There are some details that are hurtful (homophobic, transphobic, fatphobic, racist comments passed off as jokes or never properly addressed), but they seem to be unconscious biases rather than deliberate jabs, especially because so much of the series focuses on being kind to downtrodden characters (i。e。 uplifting the Amars and portraying Kuranosuke as a heroic character)。 In general, the sense of humor is fantastic。 I love the ironic transitions where one characters says something, then the next panel directly contradicts that (like when Tsukimi thinks Shuu hates her, then it cuts to him love-struck and buying her a wedding ring)。 Overall, I would recommend this series to most of my friends, and I would suggest that they use the anime as a litmus test to determine if reading the entire manga is worth it。 The show covers about 25% of the series, and the manga isn't too long either, all things considered。 Time reading it can absolutely fly by! 。。。more

Seriously though, this series is a great read。 The way the characters interact so much fun to read。 。。。more
