Anime News Network gave the omnibus of Mizuno and Chayama a 4 out of 5 rating, remarking of the story "it's a hopeful story that still dwells in bleakness and flirts with a relationship that could be termed unhealthy at times. It's not pretty, flowery yuri, and I like it all the more for that." [6] Erica Friedman of Yuricon noted that while the series was "modern Romeo and Juliet. Thankfully, without the dire ending." However she gave Mizuno and Chayama and overall 6 out of 10 rating, noted that "this series was a little heavy on lowest denominator service and was not at all respectful of the characters’ bodies, something I had found very appealing in After Hours. The ending a was little less ridiculous than After Hours‘, but I'm not entirely sure you could call it happy, though." [7]
