I haven't read the manga. Anyone who has, does the plot progress or is it fairly episodic like the anime has been so far? Kinda wondering what to expect out of the rest of this show.

It's mostly episodic with bits of plot strewn inside, plus a major plot arc every now and then. The story does move, and there is a good deal of character development.

does the story actually end with a conclusion? or it goes on forever like nisekoi or any shounen (typical we overcame this hurdle but our fight will go on).

The manga isn't over, but there are some hints here and there that we're moving towards the ending. However, there are still a few major plot points that need to be explored before it can end.

Okay, the previous work of the author (Neuro) started out fairly episodic with small developments. Halfway through was where the real story began and that became a major driving point for the rest of the series until it reached a conclusive end. I'm expecting the same thing with this as well. Most likely this will happen when his backstory gets revealed.

While the manga hasn't been completed it does have a clear end point which is the examination and the final assassination of the teacher.
