Hi, so I’ve been eyeing this box set for a while now, the cover art looks gorgeous. Usually, however, before buying a manga I usually watch the anime first and I thought it was REALLY bad. Useless MC, fan service, repetitive, etc. Is the manga better? Not sure if i should go based on my opinion on the anime or not

Just a random late reply, but a reply all the same.

The anime is nothing like the manga. The manga is much, much, much better, to the point where the two are completely dissimilar. I would highly recommend reading it. Just remember that the manga started in the early 2000s, so it takes ~15 chapters for the plot to start to kicking into gear. But once you pass ~23, you should have a firm grasp if the manga's for you.

The anime is really terrible compared to the manga. It takes a bit for it to get interesting but it's a good read. Another thing, most of the action is in season 2 of the manga but it is all good regardless. It is really worth buying.

i ended up buying it because the box set was so beautiful and it would’ve been nice to have as decoration, i read the whole thing and i can definitely confirm this! season 2 was extremely enjoyable and a great read overall

So glad you enjoyed it! It's a classic in my mind, and I'm always happy to hear about new people entering the series and experiencing it! If you're interested in more, creator has moved on to a new story - Ghost Reaper Girl. Not following the same characters, but the art style and the creative direction is similar.
