Reception
Reviewing the first chapter, Brian Salvatore of Multiversity Comics praised the art and tone for approaching the juxtaposition between Ruri and her surroundings in a way that balances comedy and absurdity, adding that the way the story unfolds "seems natural to ‘real’ life."[6] Steven Blackburn of Screen Rant complimented the comedy, but added that the chapter relies too much on it, causing a lack of development between the characters' relationships.[7]
