Reception

edit

Ed Sizemore of Comics Worth Reading criticized the manga for having "no life in these drawings", though he commended the manga for its "nice sense of depth and perspective".[6] ComicMix's Andrew Wheeler commented that the manga is more suitable for younger shōjo readers than its supposed shōnen demographic.[7] Michelle Smith of Pop Culture Shock called the series "thoroughly mediocre".[8]
