Aww, that was sweet of you. The manga's pretty good, though it's kind of long (32 volumes, but what's that compared to shounen manga?). The anime can be pretty eeeh, especially the dub :|, unfortunately. I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself here, even if you don't know who half the characters are. I've found that's one of the best parts of RP: playing off unfamiliar characters! And familiar ones too, :D.
