Yah, I saw the anime first and the manga second and would say the manga is a little better just for the richness (except for the Nagasaki arc; the anime is my canon where that's concerned). Plus characters like Terazuma and Wakaba who are awesome in their own right don't get much time in the anime. (I think Terazuma appears as the back of a head in the last episode.)
If you get the English translation, though, be warned: it is edited. It drives me absolutely nuts. The Saint Michel arc (private, Catholic all-boys school, very illicit activities, very hot [my personal fave]) has its most graphic page censored (anal: OK, splitting someone's head like a watermelon: also OK, fellatio: NG, apparently; wtf) and the dialog mangled beyond repair horrific, horrific job. . . . BUT in general an awesomely detailed series, both visually and characterization/content-wise.
PS (can you tell this is really rushed?) Seed rocks. Woo! Go Waltfeld!
