I wouldn't really recommend it. The open ending in the anime is a lot better than the closed ending of the manga, the end of each plays out very differently. The art really isn't that bad (I've definitely seen worse), the problem is the plot itself.

There is gratuitous ecchi in the manga. I'm not just saying it like prudish people might for a large number of series, it is actually out of place. There is a character introduced that has no bearing whatsoever on the plot, merely to fulfill an obscure fetish only for the sake of being there. The plot and character development wouldn't change one iota without her.

So do yourself a favor, and just live happily with the anime. The manga was a pretty big letdown.
