Reception
Erica Friedman of Yuricon gave the first volume an 7 out of 10, noting that the art was not to her taste, "I’d vastly prefer this story if it were graced with an art style that captured the actual ages of the characters", however still enjoying the story itself, commenting that "the energy of it is sincere, and I appreciate that the narrative eschewed additional complication."[9] Nicki Bauman was more negative towards the series, writing in her review of the second volume that "the series would be better off had it leaned wholly into overly saturated and sweet fluff. At least that is fun to read. But, in trying to have its cake and eat it too, Monologue Woven for You has failed to stand out and appears set to coast along till the curtain falls on its mediocrity."[10]
