Dunno, man, I am kinda enjoying all the politics/economics stuff. I'm up to chapter 308 now, and I am getting a bit worried, there is not a lot left and I don't see it managing to wrap everything up well enough...

I'd say it's better than the anime, especially the anime's first season which skipped some chapters and made up some things (like Alibaba falling into depravity).
Honestly, the pacing is a bit wonky after the flashback arc, but it's still pretty good. Very nice artwork and some great scenes all around.
