== Reception ==
Ed Chavez of ''[[Otaku USA]]'' called the series a "manga reader's manga" due to the lack of common tropes such as {{transl|ja|[[Moe (slang)|moe]]}} or fan service, and its realism-influenced art. Chavez found the characters and visual presentation to challenge him, with the protagonist's duality making him come back to read more. However, referring to the poor sales of [[Naoki Urasawa]]'s ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'', he doubted that the American market was "interested in dramas of this caliber".<ref>{{cite web|last1=Chavez|first1=Ed|title=Crime and Punishment|url=http://www.otakuusamagazine.com/crime-and-punishment/|website=Otaku USA|date=October 4, 2008|accessdate=1 January 2019}}</ref>

The manga was part of the selection list for "Best Manga Series 2010" at the 18th {{ill|Anime & Manga Grand Prix|fr}}.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Fallaix|first1=Olivier|title=18e Anime & Manga Grand Prix : liste des sélections|url=https://animeland.fr/dossier/18e-anime-manga-grand-prix-liste-des-selections/|website=Animeland|date=December 3, 2010|accessdate=21 December 2016|language=French}}</ref>
