Reception edit
Christopher Farris from Anime News Network praised the action and culinary elements of the story, while criticizing the short length of the chapters, stating that it makes "characterization and content [feel] thin".[10] Katherine Dacey from The Manga Critic criticized the story and artwork, calling the story "marred by lazy writing, paper-thin characterizations, and excessive fan service" and the artwork overly bland.[11]
