The first volume was reviewed in Anime News Network by three reviewers. Lynzee Loveridge rated the first volume 4 stars out of 5, praised the manga and described it as a "surprisingly fresh high school romance that doesn't dilly-dally in starry-eyed purity", going on to cite the heroine's proactiveness and the manga's handling of a couple's first argument. Rebecca Silverman rated the volume 2.5 stars out of 5, more critical of the story's lack of tension and stated that the art "doesn't do a terrific job with complex emotions". She described the central relationship as "a low-key, kind of sweet romance". Amy McNulty gave the volume 4 stars out of 5, stating that "volume 1 might present one of the healthiest depictions of romance with a tsundere there is", although she mentioned that the characterization was somewhat shallow and the story lacked secondary characters.[30]
