Reception edit

Rachel Bentham, writing for Active Anime, enjoyed the artist's conceit of having the characters suddenly "sport cat ears or dog tails" respectively for comedic effect.[2] Jennifer Dunbar, writing for Pop Culture Shock, was impressed by the inclusion of a condom and by one character offering to be versatile because the other is uncertain about having sex with a man, but was disappointed at the too-easy forgiveness of the rape at the end of the manga.[3] Julie Rosato, writing for Mania, felt that most of the manga was "pure, shiny, A-grade fun", but felt that Junya's uncertainty and his rape of Atsu was out of place.[4]
