Well, I am up in the air with SDK, actually :D The publisher has/had neglected to procure a copy of Volumes 4, 9 and 16 (so far), which makes progressing in the storyline problematic. I did get Volume 4 last Wednesday, but haven't read past Volume 3 yet.
Initial impressions: Mm. I could live without the goofy fanservice of Yuya, and the even goofier infantilizing of Mibu Kyoshiro, who ultimately figures as somewhat tragic (at least as far as the anime went... I don't have enough info to tell if that's what happens with his character in the manga yet). Basically, I think the silliness is a little over the top. But I have 20 volumes so far, so I am sticking with it.
I do like the artwork,a lot. I just don't care for the slapstick stuff too much. But you have assured me that it gets better, so I am keeping on.
One thing I think is really interesting is how everyone looks the same age so far: Yuya, Kyoshiro and Kyo all look like teenagers, which makes sense for Yuya, but not so much for Kyo and Kyoshiro.
