I'm no authority on manga - I've barely read any of the stuff - but this doesn't strike me as too bad. The random blushing and sweating and fireworks and flowers and bubbles and confetti and I-don't-know-what-else in the background is a little annoying, and Kitty randomly turning into a, well, kitty for no apparent reason is a tad on the weird side, but, well, there's a reason I don't read manga that much - there are stylistic elements to it that don't really gel with me, and if they're intentionally trying to evoke that sort of atmosphere, then it's silly for me to complain about it.
On the other hand, I do like this version of Kitty. I'm not sure why exactly, but I like the added details of her being a middle child and working at the family restaurant. Also, her character seems... well, this may sound weird, but she seems like this particular version of Kitty Pryde would work much better in another medium. It's like all the weird 'I AM STARTLED SO I AM GOING TO TURN INTO A CAT WHILE THE WORLD EXPLODES AROUND ME' moments are just because it's a manga, and if she was in a different sort of comic, her character would be much more at home and relaxed. She may have been created as a manga character, but she doesn't FEEL like a manga character - she feels like she's been imported, like an exchange student or something, and is not quite fitting in with the native customs. I honestly don't know if that makes any sense, but those are my impressions about her.
(Also, I am AMAZED that it's taken this long for someone to come up with the 'Mag-Neato' gag. It's so OBVIOUS, and yet somehow I never thought of it before.)
