The anime follows volumes 1 to 12 of the manga. The anime follows very closely with volumes 1 to 7, but rushes through quickly for volumes 8 to 12. Other than that, it's well done.
I read the manga first (last summer), then saw the anime (last month). I was impressed with how well they followed the manga.
So, in my opinion... I'd say the manga. It's usually the original that's better. If the anime was done first and the manga later, then the anime would be better. If the manga was done first and the anime later, then the manga would be better.
In this case, the manga came first... so I would recommend the manga.
(BTW... they did volume 13 for the manga after the anime was done. This volume is considered "extra" with extra features, biographies, and a short story.)
