Reception

Ben Leary of The Fandom Post had mixed feelings about the manga. He wrote that it "never bored me or aggravated" him, but also that it "doesn't make me curious enough to want to read more". Melinda Beasi of Pop Culture Shock felt the story had a "confusing start", though she praised the illustrations and side characters.
