The last time I read the manga through (to about volume 12?) I was out of it for a week. Like, depressed. I dunno. It is very good. It's convincing, but it's so strong, maybe even a little frightening. I'm always sad there aren't enough outrageous hijinks---most of them are short jokes and the faces Ed makes when he hears them.
People have also talked about how very different Ed is in the manga as compared to Ed in the anime. If you noticed that anime Ed was kind of fangirl fodder, you may like manga Ed better. He has less of that subtext with Roy, too.
Ideally it would be OT3, but yes, I think Rushin will "win." The most common pattern is for the girl to grow bored with the dreamboat she's always loved and fall for the one who "wins her over" with a lot of questionable teasing (though I am extremely sick of this). I'm worried that Kuwan will really go off and try to kill Rushin, and Shakuya will either be disgusted with Kuwan and SUPER confused or nurse Rushin back to health. =_= I am still rooting for Kuwan, though I think Shakuya has to grow up a little before that will work out.
My favorite scene is when Shakuya is schmoozing under a waterfall and she bellows (or something like that) just for kicks, and Kuwan shows up and goes, "Yes? ...oh. Excuse me." 'cuz she's naked HUR HUR. (Also memorable: right after that when he's all like, "Are you prepared for me to love you?" WHOA. //////)
