Reception[edit]

Jennifer Dunbar enjoyed the portrayal of the relationship between the characters, but felt the ending was "predictable and lame", as it required previously intelligent characters to be in a state of "moronic inaction".[4] Leroy Douresseaux felt that the manga "challenges, rather than delivering the usual pleasures".[5] Danielle Leigh felt that the character designs for both leads reflected their personalities well.[6]
