I have never liked too much the story, entertaining but too dependent on luck and coincidences to make the protagonists succeed, but being directed mainly to children it is understandable and a good introduction to scientific concepts for them.
Precisely because of its "low tech" setting it must be easier to adapt to a stage play compared with most of other stories in Shonen Jump, at least there is no need to make special effects for flying characters or special energy attacks, etc.
