    Theron Martin of Anime News Network called the anime "pure comedy than a romantic comedy," including a "love-obsessed lesbian" and young man who has to "pass for a female in an all-girl's school." Martin said that it adds in new twists on "stock characters in lesbian girl's school series." While he said that some of the series is funny, at other times it is "outright weird," even as has developed artistry, a strong musical score. He concluded that the series does not have "a meaningful plot" and is more of a "stand-alone sketch comedy than anything."
