Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network praised the characters and aspects of the plot, while criticizing the "near-loli scenes". Silverman concluded her review stating "[the series is] not bad, it's [just] not all that good either".[34] Sean Gaffney of A Case Suitable for Treatment praised the story, though Gaffney also felt its harem elements were "awkward".[1]
In BookWalker's Next Big Light Novels poll, the series ranked fifth on the bunkobon list in 2019.[35] The series has 200,000 copies in circulation.[36]
