Pandora Hearts Manga Review

Well, I'm trying out another new series: Pandora Hearts. (Thanks to amelia_seyroon talking about it and making it sound neat!) So far, I'm manga-only. I just finished the latest chapter, and, as usual, felt the need to come here and babble about it.

My basic impression is that I like the series, but I'm also really kind of confused. And I'm wondering if that's the fault of the scanslations I read. I mean, yes, the story is kind of complicated, but I think get the feeling that the translations are crappy, and that makes it worse. =P

I'm thinking I need to buy the official releases of the English manga volumes, or the anime. Or maybe both. Anyone keeping up with either of them? Are the English manga releases better? Does the anime follow the manga faithfully, or does it do its own thing?

( Spoilers for the whole manga )

I think this is a monthly series, so it'll be slow going, unfortunately. XD But I can occupy myself with the anime and official manga, so hopefully by the time new chapters start coming out, I'll have a better idea of what's going on. XD
