I'll try my best to avoid !!SPOILERS!!, but it'll be impossible to explain my complaints without including a few. You've been warned.

I had a hard time with this one because there are some really awesome moments, but the execution felt somehow clumsy. I got the impression that the mangaka started out with some very specific things that would happen, but struggled to fill in the blanks along the way. For example, the Big Twist at the end is foreshadowed very early in the story--almost immediately--but random things like being able to have two spouses (something you'd think would be an important detail in a romantic fantasy story) wasn't even mentioned until the chapter in which it happened. The characters' motivations weren't entirely clear at times, either, so sometimes it felt like "We're just going to do this totally nonsensical thing X because otherwise we won't be able to get to important plot point Y". There also seemed to be some potential side plots that were just... dropped... for no good reason. At one point in the story the main group is forced to take another person along with them, and it seems to be a big deal, but that character ends up fading completely into the background with only a few token appearances after that. What? Why? And the initial Big Conflict that really gets the story going is also just... dropped... at some point without any real explanation.

Also, not gonna lie, the ending flat out pissed me off. The last few pages made it out to be a happy ending, but... it felt more like a tragedy to me, so the forced "everything worked out okay" was like a huge slap in the face to my favorite (slightly twisted) character.

I don't know... by the time I got to the end, when I looked back at the beginning, I was just kind of like, "Uh... how did we even get to this point?"

But, with all that still being the case, the good parts still outweighed the bad for me. Even though the story wasn't executed as gracefully as it could have been, it was still interesting and kept me reading until the (enraging) end. The main (2, not 3, because fuck Loki apparently) characters had some good growth. The clothing designs were really pretty, and were almost good enough to make up for the mullets. Something something... this concludes the review. Meh.
