It's fairly crap, but that is to be expected when I had to strangle Blender five different ways to try and get some passable lineart. There is an addon I have my eyes on, that should hopefully make that easier in the future.

I plan on experimenting with that later down the line. Sadly, its a bit more involved than just slapping a cell shading on a model. Shading in manga tends to be "simplified" and very diliberate with bunch of inaccuracies. Having the shading calculated by the computer immediately ruins the "2D look". So to pull off the cell style, the model topology has to be made with in mind from the scratch, and the normals have to be hand-edited. And then of course its hard to use these models with normal shading, as they will look weird when not cell shaded.

Wouldn’t cell shading do the trick for the contours? Not that I have any actual knowledge of rendering, just throwing an idea here.
