Reception
editEd Sizemore of Comics Worth Reading criticized the manga for having "no life in these drawings", though he commended the manga for its "nice sense of depth and perspective".[6] ComicMix's Andrew Wheeler commented that the manga is more suitable for younger shōjo readers than its supposed shōnen demographic.[7] Michelle Smith of Pop Culture Shock called the series "thoroughly mediocre".[8]
