Reception

Manga

By January 2023, the Skip and Loafer manga had over 1 million copies in circulation.^[18] By March 2024, it had over 2.3 million copies in circulation.^[19]

Alongside Ranking of Kings, Skip and Loafer ranked seventh on Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! list of best manga of 2020 for male readers;^[20] it ranked eighth on the 2024 edition.^[21] The series ranked 46th on the 2021 "Book of the Year" list by Da Vinci magazine;^[22] it ranked ninth on the 2023 list.^[23] In 2020, the series was nominated for the 13th Manga Taishō and placed third with 58 points.^[24]^[25] It was nominated for the 44th Kodansha Manga Award in the general category in 2020;^[26] it was nominated for the 46th edition in the same category in 2022;^[27] it won the 47th edition in the same category in 2023.^[28]^[29] The manga was one of the Jury Recommended Works at the 23rd Japan Media Arts Festival in 2020.^[30] It was one of the Jury Recommended Works for the French 17th ACBD's Prix Asie de la Critique 2023.^[31]

Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network gave the first two volumes an A−. Silverman wrote: "Skip and Loafer may not have fabulous art and it may not have an innovative story. But it does have a firm grasp of its storytelling and characters and a not inconsiderable sense of humor. It's light without being frothy and real without being a drag, and if you're looking for a story that verges on the humorous slice-of-life genre, I can't recommend this enough. Treats characters like individual people, balances humor and seriousness well".^[32]

Anime

The anime adaptation won the Golden Dragon Award for Overseas Animation at the 20th China Animation & Comic Competition in 2023.^[33] It was also nominated in the Best Romance and Best Slice of Life categories at the 8th Crunchyroll Anime Awards in 2024.^[34]

The anime series was received positively. Alex Henderson of Anime Feminist reviewed the first episode, calling it "cute as a button", with naturalistic animation and well-done backdrops, with a female protagonist who is "endearing", said there is still room for the show to "wobble", and argued that the episode was "thoroughly charming".^[35]

 Rebecca Silverman of ''[[Anime News Network]]'' gave the first two volumes an A−. Silverman wrote: "''Skip and Loafer'' may not have fabulous art and it may not have an innovative story. But it does have a firm grasp of its storytelling and characters and a not inconsiderable sense of humor. It's light without being frothy and real without being a drag, and if you're looking for a story that verges on the humorous slice-of-life genre, I can't recommend this enough. Treats characters like individual people, balances humor and seriousness well".<ref>{{cite web|last=Silverman|first=Rebecca|title=Skip and Loafer GN 1–2 – Review|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/skip-and-loafer/gn-1-2/.180252|website=[[Anime News Network]]|date=December 10, 2021|access-date=December 10, 2021|archive-date=December 15, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211215034909/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/skip-and-loafer/gn-1-2/.180252|url-status=live}}</ref>
