Ahh, did you ever see the anime? Most fans I know (myself included) were introduced to it via the anime, which is cuter and marginally more sensical. (also, I don't know about the later translations, but the first couple English volumes of GB were horrible, very inferior translations. TP is very hit-or-miss and early GB was a profound miss. I've heard that improved later, but...) And once you fall in love with Ban & Ginji you're willing to wade through quite a lot of nonsense to get to the smarm. Two guys who will do anything for each other, who fall apart without one another and can cheerfully accomplish anything together - yeah. Much love.
And Shido & Madoka are cutest couple ever, yo! I really must read the bug arc sometime (it's Shido's main story, crazy complicated antics with the beast tribe and the bug tribe, which kidnaps Madoka, and the entire extended gang teams up to retrieve her) I still wanted it to end with their wedding :P
