Reception

Krista Hutley for the Library Journal said of Shinobu Kokoro: "Themes of passion and loyalty weave through the three romances, which are sweet if superficial." Tom Rosin for MangaLife noted the explicitness of the manga. Reviewer Julie Rosato disliked how young and compliant the ukes were in the stories, but enjoyed Matsumoto's semes.
