It's up to you. I watch anime and read manga when I'm interested in what happens next when I can't wait (those cliffhangers are insane)

Only if you are already enjoying it. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend it to people because it is the most average and generic shounen, it get's even worse later.

it's shounen. typical and generic but holds its ground when developing it's plot so it's good. I read the manga so it's all up to you.

Up to you. To me it was super enjoyable that after watchin' the 1st ep I started it and couldn't help but read straight for hours and catching up to the latest release. The artstyle is really good(better than anime), the anime adaptation is topnotch, they ain't skippin' any important arcs or even interactions. So, I think if you're enjoying the anime then you should be able to also enjoy the manga

The art definitely makes it worth it, the story and characters are your typical shonen stuff, but the art is really good

The anime is taking it to a higher level. That's the goal for anime, but they don't always surpass the manga as Kaiju is doing so far. Stick with the anime. Read something else. Plenty of great series that aren't animated or were poorly done.

I'm reading at this very second, chapter 22. It's compelling aside from not doing anything unique

If ur enjoying the show its always better to read the manga rather then wait for next seasons, these things take a long time. But if u can wait I think it’s better to first finish the first season, the anime is amazing and all, but seeing the better version first may make the other look less good then it’s actually is yk. but it’s entirely up to u how u chose to enjoy a story.

For me, I read manga after I watch 2 episodes.

It will help you calm down with cliffhanger.

I bought all the released manga (9 volumes as of 2 weeks ago) after watching the 4th episode cause I couldn’t wait for more and it was definitely worth it. It doesn’t slow down much at all and it introduces some cool characters and abilities for everyone. Get more explorations for characters as well, was very enjoyable.

I’d stick with the anime. It’s improved on the manga.

You smoking the GOOD STUFF.
Gotta tell me what got you turned on to say such a thing.

Newcomers reading this:

The art and execution of the manga is amazing for the fighting scenes, the first 40-45 chapters are FIRE, when I read them I never understood why the score was so low back in 2020.

When you read the manga and get HYPED from seeing those scenes, you imagine something much BETTER than what the anime delivers, you imagine something like One Punch Man S1 anime, which is what this show deserved and didn't get.

This is my point, the fighting scenes are insane, the anime might do better comedy thought.

And my point is that the insane art deserved a better director to truly make you feel those scenes.

The problem I had with the manga is that once I caught up, it took too long to have new chapters coming out and my hyped died a sad death.

It is all subjective but in my opinion yes. I have been enjoying it not liking all the breaks it seems to be taking in the middle of a climax tho. The anime has been pretty good as well pretty faithful to the manga it also is a quick read as their aren't too many chapters.

You’re better off with the anime atm, manga pacing is very slow when you get caught up.

I don't care what anyone says, i don't hold many works in high regard...but, I'm now on chapter 68. It has not disappointed me, in the least.

I don't think it's done a single original thing, but that's become irrelevant at this point ...it does everything right imo
