Reception
Melinda Beasi of Pop Culture Shock commends the series for "some nice characterization and real emotional depth" but criticizes it for "uncomfortably humiliating sex scenes or homophobic self-loathing of the series’ protagonist".[5] ActiveAnime's Rachel Bentham describes the series as "torrid and wantonly graphic and at the same time manages to throw in some romantic angles" and praises the "gorgeous artwork".[6]
