I don't mind it, because it all seems to be part of the protagonist's delusions. I'm not convinced that half of these women are real.

I'm hoping that the kid is still crazy by the series ends -- so we won't have a complete answer for every little detail. If they reveal too much about these swords and whatnot, it'll probably sound really stupid -- devolving into another mahou-shounen series..
