Reception

Patricia Beard, writing for Mania, noted Kujyou's "understated" approach, welcoming it as a relief from other "overwrought" yaoi, but feeling that the title story's couple were "dull" and did not show a connection.[2] Leroy Douresseaux, writing for Comic Book Bin, described the title story as being a "drawn out, melodramatic love story that would fit a romance novel", and praised Kujiyou's character designs.[3] Rachel Bentham, writing for Active Anime, noted that tales about long-distance relationships are "rare in yaoi", and also noted the explicitness was reduced for the title story when compared to the bonus stories.[4]
