I still think the story was a mess. Everything just happened so fast and there were some parts that were simply confusing. And the fact that all the characters are drawn like Digimon kids STILL bugs me. The character designs make them all look the same age. The last time I commented my thoughts, I got downvoted to oblivion, and someone replied that "this is overhyped because it deserves to be since it has the best representation." That's a valid opinion, but so is mine. I really think there are other stories out there with great story-telling and plotlines and also feature great representation! (and character designs that don't get under my skin lol.) The backgrounds are absolutely beautiful, though, I'll give it that. (Disclaimer for those who can't stand hearing different opinions: This doesn't mean I'm trashing the manga, or discrediting it. Clearly the mangaka is quite talented and worked hard on it. I personally just didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would after seeing the majority's reaction to it.)
