Reception[]
BD Gest' claims that the series can be summarized in three words: "School, sex, and socks".[2] They comment that the relationships portrayed are flawed relationships because of their adolescent bases and their alternations between fantasy and reality, as well as an excessive focus on having love based purely on sex. They also felt that the series has potential, but also has great room for disappointment.[2] MangaNews commends mangaka Court Betten saying that his work is "indeed sumptuous". The review also commends Masaya Hokazono's ability "to tell in a few pages, the randomness/hazard of the first love relationships".[13] Animeland commends the manga for "every possible relationship combinations between young adults" without pudeur.[14] Later reviews from Manganews criticises the stories as clichéd but commends the stories for "keep their funny side without overdoing it".[15][16]
