I'm not a big manga reader, but even then it's not hard to realize why this is as renowned as it is with its pages chock-ful of incredible illustrations, dynamic sequences, and just an incredible overall mastery over the medium. This is only volume 1 out of 6, so the story hasn't really started to reveal its twists and turns, but both the sci-fi setting and the premise are appealing, its characters varied and (very) flawed, and it's impossible not to fall for the masterfully depicted Neo-Tokyo. I haven't watched the movie in a long time, but it's already evident how much more filled with details the source material is and how much more concerned it is about life in Neo-Tokyo than the condensed film version.
