Loved the manga emphatically and thought the anime was okay, though the end of it sucked for the most part. The part that really really gets me compelled by the story is the treatment of the women. I'm really impressed by it. Every one of them is strong and each has their own personality and I don't get the feeling that they are all just stereotypical personalities either. True, there is some generalization about their personalities, but it isn't the representation that woman commonly get in many other manga. There's a tough chick, and a mouthy chick, and smart chick and so on and so on, but they aren't just recycled weak man -dependent women, so I actually really like a few of them.
Miria is my favorite of them all, and I also really like/liked Teresa and Irene. Claire is a good main character and her relationship with Raki adds a lot to the story.
I would rec this to anyone who likes a good action story. It's in my top.
