Reception

The book was added to permanent collection of Kyoto International Manga Museum in 2011.[5] Erica Friedman, the founder of Yuricon and translator of the English edition, noted in her review that "my obvious bias aside, I genuinely think that this, along with Yamaji Ebine and Rica Takashima’s works, can be seen as genuinely lesbian Yuri – a rare and precious thing that should be spread through Yuri fandom."[6]
