It's a good story if a bit strange, especially considering the ending. It's extremely funny most of the time and easy to read. From time to time it slides slightly into slapstick a bit too much and the amount of fan service and meta-story elements is just a bit too much for me. Also, I'm not very fond of this old-school type of character drawing. They are not bad, but a bit strange for my modern day tastes. And they give a really strange contrast to the beautiful backgrounds. It's not a masterwork, but definitely worth reading.
