Reception

Danielle Van Gorder felt the plot was convoluted with "by-the-book plot twists", but that something about the characters made the book "more interesting" than Van Gorder otherwise felt it should have been. She felt the melodrama of the work pushed it into becoming "almost a strange absurdist comedy".[2] Rachel Bentham, writing for Active Anime, praised the "distinct" character designs, saying that this reflected the characters' personalities, and noted that the plot was a "full-bodied love triangle".[3] Leroy Douresseaux felt the artwork gave the manga a "Film Noir" feel, and praised the expressiveness which the art gave the characters.[4]
