Reception
Jennifer Dunbar enjoyed the portrayal of the relationship between the characters, but felt the ending was "predictable and lame", as it required previously intelligent characters to be in a state of "moronic inaction". Leroy Douresseaux felt that the manga "challenges, rather than delivering the usual pleasures". Danielle Leigh felt that the character designs for both leads reflected their personalities well.
