Reception
Publishers Weekly finds the characters "three dimensional" in comparison to other yaoi protagonists, and appreciates that they have interests outside of each other, which makes Loveholic "seem more like a story, less like killing time until they get together". Julie Rosato, writing for Mania Entertainment, described the first volume as "a story full of subtleties", and appreciated the "flawed" characters who "grow" in the second volume. Leroy Douresseaux, writing for the Comic Book Bin, praised Kawai's "impressive range of facial expressions".
