[5][6] Anime News Network's Lissa Patillo commends the manga for its "easy to understand plot that takes time to focus on compelling cast of secondary character; attractive artwork", but criticizes it for a "weak opening volume; Hijiri doesn't make for a strong main character and the ending leaves something to be desired".

This changes when the focus shifts to Hijiri and for that reason, the omnibus format actually enhances the readability of the series as a whole.
