I'd tell you to read the manga but it CAN be overbaring considering how long it is. BUT I feel like you'll feel the intensity of it all if you read it. Once you finish a part you'll most likely feel incline to keep reading the rest of them. And since they are in parts, you can take breaks in between while reading. On the other hand the anime is pretty fast pace and it covered part 1 and 2 in only 26 episodes. The only problem is that you have to wait for parts 3 and 4 since it goes by seasons.

How about you watch the first 2 parts and if you like what you see and have a craving for it afterwards then read on from there.
