3.0

A good ending to an entertaining trilogy! I was surprised by the plot twists and secret identities. There's some really good action, and funny lines. I love all the mystical magic, and the fairytale characters that join together as a team to defeat the villains.

Otogi is really good at inspiring loyalty in others, because he's always ready to give people a second chance. He's very forgiving and understanding, and he draws people to him despite his loner tendencies and his sarcasm.

The flashbacks into Cinderella's past were certainly illuminating, and I loved the way that fairy tale was rewritten. The only one who doesn't seem to have much of a backstory is Rapunzel. Even Red Riding Hood has a secret or two. But I suppose there's not enough room in three volumes to develop each character in any depth. The main characters have lots of depth though.

It still weirds me out that Cinderella is all masochistic and creepy. Still... despite the weirdness, it's an enjoyable manga.
