Reception

Briana Lawrence felt that although the concept was interesting, that the plot was full of coincidences and that the ending was too pat to be satisfying.^[2] Leroy Dessaroux felt that the themes of "mental illness and perversion" somehow don't overwhelm the comedy of the work, but rather, add to the "spiciness".^[3] Michelle Smith felt the premise was "unique", but that the manga was "mildly diverting", at best.^[4]
