Read vol 1-13 in English and vol 14-15 in Japanese and I have to say, it was wild. I don't want to post spoilers, so let me just say that even though the first volume or two seem similar to the anime, it starts to tell its own story from then on. It's much more in depth, answers some stuff that the anime didn't and had spun into a completely different direction. The mystery in the manga is much heavier than in the anime. That said, I enjoyed and recommend both (anime and manga).

Very Good Manga

Update: For those wondering, no this series is not complete. At the end of Volume 15, it says it will be continued in a "second part" (aka sequel). I can't find more information than that, though.

I really like this series for various reasons. For one, it has a lot of lore and info, lot's of comedy, yet it maintains a more serious overall plot. The characters are hard not to like, even the bad guys (lol at Raiko in volume 6 or 7). The main characters are surrounded in mystery, so it keeps you wanting more.
As for Kantarou's sexuality, you can think whatever you like...lol

It's actually heavily implied in the last two volumes that Kantarou liked his mother as more than just a mother...So maybe she's his only preference. Whatever the case, poor Kan-chan :(

I love Tactics very very very much! Anime is great, but manga...I have no words! I admire it! Cool story and art! Kantarou, Haruka and Raikou are so beautiful! And Sugino, Father Edwards and even Hasumi too! They are so hot! And Kantarou is gay and loves Haruka...I am fond of it!
