tl;dr: Great action, comedy, and art but though there is a good cast of characters, a pretty weak story overall.

This manga has pretty solid action, in that the ability sets are pretty solid, the scenes are well choreographed, and the art definitely makes it look pretty flashy, though it does seem to be pretty random. It also has a great character set, with a large number of interesting characters with a variety of personalities and pretty good character designs. It also has great humor, with a good amount of variety to it as well, but with the constant references to other works and such being what stood out as most hilarious. And just in general it has really good art that is just a pleasure to look at in and of itself. These aspects make the manga enjoyable to read from beginning to end without it ever feeling like its dragging on. However, holistically there is one major issue, in that there doesn't feel like there's much of a story. There's a set up, and then there are individual episodes, but it doesn't feel like there's really anything that could be considered an overarching story. The individual episodes are also solid, mainly in that they're usually character focused and flesh out one or a couple characters pretty well, but the manga feels like its suffering under the weight of having too many characters, in that while each episode usually does a good job, most characters only have one episode, with even the most important characters like Ayane only feeling like they have a couple. Hence, though each character gets fleshed out enough to be interesting, we don't get to see any more than that, and ultimately very minimal character or relationship development takes place. Because of these two aspects, a lack of story and character/relationship development, the story ultimately feels like it's going nowhere, and ultimately while in the end there are some major changes, they don't feel like they have that much impact. Now, that doesn't diminish that due to the action, comedy, characters, and art that from chapter to chapter the manga is very much enjoyable, but in hindsight after reading through the entire thing, it very much feels like its lacking in certain areas.
