Reception
Reviewing the first volume for The Fandom Post, Matthew Alexander called it "a welcome addition to the seinen series with American releases", describing it as "kind of like ‘Sundome’ meets ‘Genshiken’ meets ‘Highschool of the Dead’, only without zombies", and writing that "there is plenty of nudity, adult jokes, and gory torture to fill many fanboys desires; unless you’re a mecha fanboy, then you’re out of luck." He gave the story a grade of B+ and the art a B.[2]
