Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network gave the first volume a grade of B−. She felt that the story was interesting, but that the volume suffered from being mostly setup. She also felt that the series' fanservice was out of place, writing that it seemed "as if Yoshikawa felt the need to stop and give us a show before moving the plot along." She was positive toward the sibling relationships portrayed in the story, enjoying the fact that they were platonic as opposed to "distracting us with a forbidden love angle." She called the manga's art "serviceable without being particularly good", noting the lack of visible motion during action scenes, and commented that the series monsters were better drawn than its people.[11]
