Reception

Anime News Network gave the first volume an overall B grade, praising how the "yuri aspect is handled so matter-of-factly that it is a non-factor in the story" though noting that the character development outside of how the protagonists relate to each other is weak.[11] Erica Friedman of Yuricon also praised the series for showing Hayama and Terano's relationship being supported by all those around them without being up that they are both women, noting that "what we read this book and it's [sic] following volumes for is the sheer joy Hayama-sensei and Terano-sensei take in one another’s company."[12]
