Reception

[edit | edit source]

Writing for Anime News Network, Christopher Farris gave the manga's first volume a positive review, praising the art, story, and humor in contrasting the plot element of the characters' delinquent past with the romantic comedy genre.[16] Ian Wolf of Anime UK News, by contrast, gave a mixed review, praising the "slapstick" fight scenes and the comedy in Takebe and Soramori's "social misunderstandings," but overall deemed the first volume "not that gripping".[17] Erica Friedman of Okazu praised the translation and lettering of the English release,[18] and the character development of later volumes.[19]
