Read the manga a few months ago right as it ended and was glad it actually had an ending, which is more than the majority of series can say. The plot is a bit all over the place, and it’s hard to get attached to any of the numerous characters in the limited page-time they get, but it was passable, the art was good, and the character designs were pretty nice too.

As for the amount of hate it gets, I think a lot of people (like myself) feel its popularity is disproportionate to its quality, and a vocal selection of them (unlike myself) get very upset about that.
