Yes, it is. As a 'Code Geass' fan, it gives you more content related to the series. You get to explore the story further and might discover new aspects of the characters and the world.
One great fanfic in this category is 'The Geass Exchange'. It explores an alternate scenario where Lelouch gives his Geass to a different character, Suzaku. This creates a whole new dynamic as Suzaku, with his own set of beliefs and moral code, has to grapple with the power of Geass. The story delves deep into how the Geass affects his relationships, not just with Lelouch, but also with other characters in the Code Geass universe like Euphemia. It's a really interesting take on the concept of Geass transfer and how it can change the course of events.
The power dynamics. When Lelouch gives someone Geass, it completely changes the balance of power. For example, if he gives it to a character who was previously powerless, like a civilian, that character suddenly has the ability to influence others in a major way. This can lead to all kinds of new plotlines and character interactions.
Code Geass did start as a manga. However, its anime version became even more widely known and beloved. The manga provided the foundation for the rich story and characters that were further developed in the anime.
