Fortunately (or unfortunately, as the case may be - fortunately for lots of awesome ahead, unfortunately for impatience!) there are still many, many volumes ahead for him to wrap them up in. >:D And ME TOO. Every time someone tells Yukiji to go home I want her to punch them in the face, and am sad when she doesn't (except when she does, and then I cheer.)

Me too! I love how much of a dork the manga artist is, and how every time Otcho does something he is like "THAT IS TERRIFYING and oh man really cool I am taking notes for my next storyline RIGHT NOW."

Mostly I am really curious about how the worldbuilding differs between the two; it looks like the character introduced at the end of actual Volume 1 is in fact Astro Boy, and I want to know what he is like in the original! But I will try and restrain myself. (I suspect I will have several more Ishbal NO WAIT PERSIA moments before I'm done. *rueful*)

Clearly I will just have to catch up! :D
