Reception
Katherine Dacey of Pop Culture Shock describes Primula as being a modern, faux-independent Disney princess, but feels that the manga is overly flawed to be a guilty pleasure. Connie C. for the same outlet regarded the manga as being one of her favourites, but felt that the seventh volume was not the best as it separated Primula and Argent. Brigid Alverson from Graphic Novel Reporter described the manga as being an enjoyable light read.
