Reception
editIn 2020, Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible was nominated in the sixth Next Manga Awards and placed 19th out of 50 nominees with 9,306 votes.[43][44] In 2021, the series was again nominated in the seventh Next Manga Awards and placed 7th of 50 nominees.[45]
The anime adaptation received a mixed reception. Cy Catwell of Anime Feminist, reviewing the first episode, compared the series to Komi Can't Communicate and Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro, saying that Kubo loves teasing Junta as a "form of mild bullying/flirting," noted the tender moments, nice simplicity, and called it cute romance between teenagers at its core, but expressed uneasiness with "Junta’s discomfort with Kubo’s actions" and did not recommend the series.[46] In contrast, Nicholas Dupree of Anime News Network had a more positive take, reviewing all twelve episodes. He argued that the series does not challenge genre conventions, but is a "quiet comedy built entirely around the dialogue and chemistry of our two leads," with humble and casual ambitions, calling it "pure fluff," sweet, and funny, approaching the "realm of iyashikei in its most atmospheric moments," praised Shiraishi for becoming more relatable, and said the series was charming, craftful, and a "rewarding experience if you can vibe with its mellow energy."[47]
