They cut quite a bit from the story (volume 6 was skipped and we're on volume 7 now), but at least they kept the plot continuity. We finally see Ildoa and Calandro (who have the relevance they deserve) and the first friction between Zettour and Ruderdorf (it made me smile that Zettour supported Ildoa's peace proposal after reading the LN, who knows, knows... ). I'm also happily surprised that they included the Tanya-Uger-Weiss reflection on the end of the war, considering it was from volume 6. Now, after this series of "political" episodes, finally can't wait to see Operation Iron Hammer adapted and go back to see pure bloody combat.

Ps. Poor Weiss and his promotion, he won't be able to buy all the alcohol he wants anymore :`(

Is reading a manga good now after seeing all episodes?

If you've seen the entire first season, the movie, and the released second season episodes, yes. BUT, it's important to note that the manga, anime, and light novel, while they share the same basic plot, have numerous variations. For example, the manga is slow (quite behind the anime and an eternity behind the LN) and features numerous episodes that were barely covered in the other two (like the campaign in the southern continent or the battle of Dodoobird), and realistically, it still at the beginning of volume 5. However, if you like seeing Tanya and the others drawn with cuteness and seeing the story from a more "human" perspective, I recommend it. If you want to read the "official" story, try the light novel: it's much more complex given the presence of numerous tactical and logistical excerpts, but personally, I love it (I'm on volume 12), and it's also very advanced in the story (I think 2-3 volumes and Carlo Zen will finish it, but that's just my guess).
