Before I even get into this, I just want to say I am a massive Eureka SeveN fan, and it's one of my favorite anime of all time. That said, although this manga is a really good read it's also a somewhat conflicting experience for me. Eureka seveN needs no praise, it's awesome and more or less everything you loved about the show carries over to the Manga. So, I'm going to focus more on my criticism of it, from one fan to another.

So basically the pacing steadily ramps up to hyperspeed in a matter of chapters. It goes over the first few episodes in only a chapter of two, and with 26 chapters total it seemed about on pace to do an amazing retelling of the original story of Eureka seveN; then it dives off the rails at 1000 miles an hour.

Now hear me out, it was actually really interesting and really cool, as they basically established really early on that the manga would be going in a different direction and it definitely lived up to that. HOWEVER, it did everything way to fast, it did the first few episodes, skipped over every other arch in the show all at once, and got to the third act before they were barely a third of the way through the manga. Then they took EVERYTHING from the show at once and crammed aspects of it together to create a weirder and much darker Eureka seveN that spends the vast majority of it's story in what would be the final 5ish episodes of the anime.

Don't get me wrong, this is an exceptionally well written manga, and most of the creative decisions other than pacing felt either justified or straight up improvements/expansions of things that the show tried to cover, but even if it's objectively better, it's still not quite Eureka seveN tone wise, and it's just a little bit to radically different in my eyes.
