I'm a long time anime fan, I've watched the classics (naruto, dbz, etc.), a few others, and I've binged OP in the last year and a half or so and I absolutely love it! It's possibly even my favorite anime I've ever watched. However in the past couple weeks I've seen the anime bashed consistently on this sub while the manga gets all the praise. I've never once actually read a manga, but I love OP so much that I'm seriously considering starting reading from where the anime currently ends.

This is where you guys come in. I'm already pretty convinced to do it, but I need more info. What's better about the manga (or possibly things that are worse), where can I read it, HOW do I read it (is it left to right like most Japanese literature?), should I go back and read previous chapters that I've watch the anime for to get a feel for it, etc. Help a brother out, I'm clueless!
