Reception

The series has often been criticized by Western viewers for perceived queerbaiting with regards to the relationship between lead characters Kumiko Oumae and Reina Kousaka. [31] [32] [33] Crunchyroll's Twitter account acknowledged the pairing by tweeting a screenshot from the show, [34] [35] which was still airing and being officially simulcast by the service at the time, in the wake of the legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States.

In 2015, Nio Nakatani praised the anime for its perceived yuri aspects, which she said had inspired her while she was drawing Bloom Into You . [36]
