Reception

Anime News Network gave the first volume and overall B+, with Rebecca Silverman praising Battan's work on the old trope seen in yuri manga where girls date during high school before breaking up to "graduate into the world of men." Silverman stated that the series was a "much more grounded yuri story than we often get, [and] events do a good job of explaining why characters act the way they do without excusing any of it."[6]

Demelza from Anime UK News gave the final volume 8/10, noting that "there’s an emotional weight to it that might be too much for some readers who are hoping for a carefree and happy romance, but if you’re okay with something heavier then this ticks all the boxes. It rewards the time you put into it in a way that not all series do."[7]
