Reception

The series has received mixed to positive reviews. Reviewing the series for Otaku USA, David Estrella praised the series' romantic comedy elements but noted that readers seeking a realistic story about lesbian relationships "may find it too fluffy". Erica Friedman of Yuricon expressed a similar sentiment, stating that while the series "isn’t problematic," its gag comic humor "doesn’t feel like a sincere attempt to address [LGBT] issues." Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network remarked that while the series compares favorably to Naoko's earlier NTR: Netsuzou Trap, she criticized its story for being underdeveloped.
