Reception

Erica Friedman of Yuricon gave the series an overall 5 out of 10 rating, noting that the relationship could have been more enjoyable were it not between a boss and their employee, she summarized that "I wanted to love this when it ran in Comic Yuri Hime. It could have been a 9 with a single change, but it was just too problematic for me to enjoy."^[4] DJ Horn of The Fandom Post praised Mikan Uji's art just felt the story itself lacked substance.^[5]
