True... I was not overwhelmed by the anime character model designs, but then the manga art is, while not bad, somewhat average so far in my reading. The storyline, however, more than makes up for it.
Idiot question: there are ... 6 volumes of the light novel and I don't know how many of the manga. I hope they're using the novels as source material. Can anyone who's reading the novels say whether there are good anime ending stop points without spoiling anything?
Not that the information changes much.... the anime will be what it will be. At least it did its job in directing me towards the manga -- and maybe later the light novels
