The main problem here is that he had to fit a full-length story into 6 chapters, and the same magic trick he pulled with RT doesn't work here because there's more than 6 chapters worth of plot-relevant content and it all ties together, so there's fewer extraneous scenes he can remove and more story than can be reasonably crammed into a few CoroCoro/Nintendo Power issues. He had to skip a few important parts, and even then everything flies by at a mile a minute, and anyone who doesn't already know the story would get lost very easily. The rushed pacing also means that each panel tends to advance the scene forwards so much that it's hard to see how it connects with the previous one, hurting readability. It's definitely just the fault of the story crunch, though, because Ginji's Rescue Team didn't really have this issue, and the couple of scenes where he lingered on each moment a bit more were fine. I suppose with the greater story focus making things harder to adapt, there's a reason they stopped with the manga adaptations, and the mangaka moved on to doing a couple of movie adaptations and a few one-shots for the franchise afterwards instead.
I still recommend giving it a read if even just for the art and fanservice, though this scan's not very high res so YMMV. I can't find Ginji's Rescue Team online, though, so if you want to read the superior adaptation you'll just have to buy it yourself :^)
