Reception
Mania.com's Patricia Beard comments on the minimalism of Honami's artwork, saying that the artist uses "only enough background art to place a scene and her panels flow well".[11] ActiveAnime's Holly Ellingwood commends the manga for its "surprising depth, diverse characters, involving storylines, and an irresistible art style".[12] Coolstreak Comics's Leroy Douresseaux comments that the manga is "more or less a comic romp with bickering boys, and the love is less lust than it is lovey-dovey" despite its yaoi genre.[13] Mania's Patricia Beard finds the relationship between Miki and Houjou to be the best developed and most emotionally satisfying, and noted that the potentially offensive "aggressive sexual dynamics" of the school are toned down in the second volume.[14]
