Reception
Leroy Douresseaux, writing for Comic Book Bin, found the story to be "not particularly noteworthy", but enjoyed Zaou's art, especially on characters' faces, ultimately deciding that the art lifted the manga as a whole from being "average". Courtney Kraft, writing for Graphic Novel Reporter, felt that the manga never became "gratuitous and trashy", enjoying the themes of "friendship, trust, and the female fantasy of young men opening up to each other". However, Kraft felt that this fantasy meant that the dialogue between the characters was unrealistically "clean" and the characters were "too understanding and mature" to be in their early high school years. Michelle Smith, writing for PopCultureShock, had been unimpressed with Mikiyo Tsuda's shōjo works, but felt that Zaou's sense of humour was better suited to yaoi.
