Reception

[edit]

Erica Friedman of Yuricon gave the both volumes an overall rating of 8 out of 10, noting in her review of volume 1; “it was a sweet story and I certainly want them to be happy….but it was often very annoying as well [...] I really want to like this manga. The art being by majoccoid helps so much, I won’t lie. Kanda-kun looks cool when she’s supposed to. Satomis is cute. Mochi_Au_Lait just does not have the style for this. The characters are likable, the situation is not problematic, but it is, nonetheless, a problem.”[5][6]
