Reception

Erica Friedman of Yuricon praised the series giving volumes one and two a 10 out of 10 rating; remarking in her review that the first volume "is so frickin’ nasty, I literally grinned my way through it [...] This is not a pretty book about an office romance. This is a violent story about two terrible people being terrible to one another. I love it."[3]

Black and White: Tough Love at the Office was among WomenWriteAboutComics "Favorite Manga of 2022", with Masha Zhdanova regarding the series has an alternate to more typical school related romance often seen in yuri; remarking that "the rivalry between Shirakawa and Kuroda crackles with chemistry, and Jiang draws the two of them fighting and having sex with a specificity that makes the whole thing feel grounded, rather than the ethereal above-it-all purity older yuri comics often have."[4]
