Reception

The artwork was praised by Mania Entertainment as not showing the characters as unrealistically beautiful.[5] Comic Book Bin praises the "endearing" characters, especially Miyata, who is not portrayed as a "girl-in-the-way".[6] Active Anime describes Camera, Camera, Camera as having "a romping dose of comedy".[7] While Mania Entertainment was initially disappointed at having the storyline of Akira loving his stepbrother resolved so quickly in the second volume, Mania appreciated the focus this allowed on the developing Akira-Kaoru relationship.[8] Comic Book Bin, writing about the second volume, described it as "smooth and entertaining".[9]
