Manji and Rin's relationship reads very brother-sister to me, and I love that, because it's so rare that you get a non-romantic relationship between a man and a woman in ... well, in popular media in general.
And Samura is great at character, especially the way that most of his major characters end up unfolding and changing your viewpoint or deepening your understanding of them. Characters I started off hating, I end up loving (any more detail would be spoilery). *And* the characters change as a result of maturing or experience or the events that have effects on them.
The next volume is on its way to me now from Amazon.com! Wheeee!
