This is a fantastic manga, in every sense of the word.
Now, to preface, Sword Oratoria is no doubt intended for fans of Danmachi. It covers the story of the main series from the angle and perspective of the Loki Familia rather than the Hestia Familia, with characters like Aiz, Finn, and Lefiya taking the lead.
The storyline and events are wildly different from the original, as expected. It introduces completely new (or at least new to anime-only watchers or those who are not caught up) plot threads, background information, lore tidbits- the like. Though some may find them "boring" either due lack of patience, foreign faces, ... etc, they are very much well-done stories that flesh out characters, introduce and hint at the larger overarching plot, and simply act as fantastic companions to the main Danmachi narrative.
Characters like Aiz who don't get much attention in the anime are very well done here, and in general this manga has great characters and narratives that make it enjoyable to read.
And that's not mentioning the art. It's by no means the best out there, but it's clear, it's fluid, it has great dynamic action scenes, and creative decisions that elevate certain sequences in the manga.
Overall, I'd recommend this to any anime-watcher or fan of Danmachi who hasn't experienced Sword Oratoria.
