Reception

Leroy Douresseaux, writing for Comic Book Bin, notes Loving Gaze's "deep romantic yearning" and appreciates Kanbe's skill at drawing humans.[2] Rachel Bentham, writing for Active Anime, noted in Kanbe's art "various subtle facial expressions" and enjoyed the "sweet romance" of the tale.[3] Briana Lawrence, writing for Mania Entertainment, disliked the rape tones of the manga, and felt the story was "too stereotypical" to enjoy, although Lawrence was relieved that in the second story the seme did not try to rape the uke.[4]
