According to Diamond Comics, the first North American release of See Me After Class ranked No. 45 out of 50 titles in the charts during February 2013. [28] On eManga, a digital publishing site for manga and light novels, an editorial review by Einschewtoy called the first volume of See Me After Class "semi-clean fun", and "good for a hearty laugh". [7] They noted that, "The plot can be a little hard to swallow, though the humor does make it easier." [7] Lynzee Loveridge of Anime News Network, in reviewing the first two volumes, wrote that the manga "trots out a lot of tired tropes. There’s the overplayed “oops I accidentally fell on you and touched your breast” shtick only a girl gets pantsed instead, a hapless hero who is routinely accosted by high[-]strung or overly forward girls." However, she wrote that the "character designs feed into the books’ lighthearted silliness present throughout the volumes." [29] G.B. Smith of The Fandom Post praised the "attractive character designs", and wrote, "For those looking for a mildly amusing ecchi comedy, this title could fulfill that need." [30]
Carlos Ross of THEM Anime Reviews generally panned the OVA adaptation, giving it 1 out of 5 stars, and calling it: "Poorly written, poorly conceived, and clearly intended for chauvinistic young men who want to see women abase themselves and act like bimbo porn stars, without springing for the actual pornography." [8] Despite Ross saying, "There's one or two throw-away moments that elicit genuine chuckles", he criticized the OVA for "not actually understanding or knowing how actual women behave in the real world". [8]
See Me After Class has been referred to as borderline hentai or of the such by critics. [8] [29] [30] Loveridge wrote, "Since it is technically not an adult title, both volumes are an exercise in what the creators could get printed without the manga getting pulled from the magazine." [29] Smith considered the content to be tame, commenting, "For an 18+ manga, this is all actually very light on the sexually explicit material. There is a lot of ecchi material and constant nudity, which earns it the higher rating, but this volume had no sex whatsoever." [30] On the contrary, Ross showed distaste towards the OVA's fanservice at his review on THEM Anime Reviews. He wrote: "While not strictly hentai, this promo OVA skirts the line -- a female teacher strips naked in front of a male student and has sex with a female student, all onscreen, though any contact below the belt is heavily implied rather than shown." [8]
