I've heard a lot of people say to ignore the manga and just read the light novels, Sword Art Online, Vol. 01: Aincrad but the thing is not everyone wants to read a light novel, we're manga readers because of the media and yes sometimes there is a crossover but more often than not we only consume manga.

For what this is, it's actually compiled quite well not everything is as fleshed out as it is in the anime, like Kirito's reason for being a solo player and the tension he has with the guilds, Instead this choose to solely focus on Kirito's and Asuna's story which works in it's favor.

The two bond over a cooked rabbit, that Kirito can't cook due to having insufficient cooking skills and Asuna has maxed out hers. From there the two team up on a few questions and we see them slowly build to become a couple. It gets a bit weird when they become a mommy and daddy for Yui and the whole thing happens but it's a sweet enough story and fits the tone of the manga.

That ending is still unbelievably amazing, the whole thing with Kayaba, perfect.
