Really, really meandering and way longer than it needed to be. Shutendoji, at its core, is a cute and charming spin on the tale of Princess Kaguya. I think if you were to lay out this manga's plot on paper and stick to the basic, overarching ideas, then you'd have a solid story on your hands. However, my problem with it is that there are so, so many plotlines which add absolutely nothing to the grand scheme of things. There are things I liked about Shutendoji. It had some nice moments and a cute ending. I think if you were to trim a lot of thefat in this, you'd have a solid 4 or 5 volume manga on your hands. But holy shit someone desperately needed to tell Go Nagai to hold back his self-indulgence, especially in the last 3 volumes. There is SO much unnecessary shit that adds nothing to the narrative and only serves to waste your time.

Anyway I'd say if you're fine with a lot of self-indulgent fluff, then you would probably enjoy this manga more than I did. I didn't like this manga very much, but I can see why someone would feel differently.
