Reception

Leroy Douresseaux noted there were no sex scenes, instead there were kiss scenes, making this title teen-appropriate, but felt that without the character design, the manga was "pedestrian".^[2] Danielle Van Gorder found her layouts "striking" and enjoyed the gradual unfurling of the story.^[3] Holly Ellingwood enjoyed the "compelling" story.^[4]
