With the manga having finished a couple of days ago (as of this writing), I thought it would be a good idea to give my thoughts on the overall story.
Art: The first 2 thing you'll notice about it are these: it reads in a vertical manner, and it's kind of rough and simplistic. As it progresses, it does start to become more complex, but it never quite moves away from it's simplicity. It is simply something that you'll have to get used to.
Characters: They start of kind of simple, and they don't really develop that much. This is because, most of the time, they are
...
simply there to move or explain the plot (especially in the beginning). This isn't to say that they don't have their heartfelt moments, but there aren't that many of them, and that's because of...
Story: "If the art isn't particularly good and neither are the characters, then why should I read this?" you might be asking, and the answer is the story. So much story is happening that the mangaka had one of the characters say, and I quote "We've never had any idea what we were doing, but we made it this far anyway". If I had to describe it, I would call it "Escalation: The Manga", because HOLY SHIT does it escalate things to a degree that you'd find hard to believe. And that's exactly the defining aspect of this manga, the one reason you'd need to read it. The only things you'd need to remember are that, around chapter 30, it starts being very confusing with it's concepts, and it keeps getting more and more confusing the farther along you get, and, because it's a dense manga, you shouldn't take to long to read all of it, because you WILL forget plot points and characters. I had to drop it shortly after I started reading each chapter weekly because I barely remembered some details, and just waited until it finished to read it all in a couple of days.
TL;DR: Art is kind of rough, characters are serviceable, leaving the story as it's biggest draw, which is okay because the story itself is kind of like a car crash in slow motion, not because it's bad (although you could definitely see it that way (and I wouldn't blame you)), but because you can't keep your eyes away from it.
