Reception
Erin Finnegan felt the anthology format worked well with the explicit themes.[2] Patricia Beard felt the volume was lifted by the Oikawa/Hashimoto stories, finding them "funny and unconventional".[3] Holly Ellingwood felt the stories had a tone of "nostalgic sentimentality".[4] Hannah Santiago, writing for the appendix to Manga: The Complete Guide, felt the art was "dated", and that the stories were not long enough. Santiago felt that two of the stories had disturbing themes.[5] Leroy Douresseaux felt the writing was "cold and sometimes stiff", but noted that fans would enjoy the many sex scenes in the manga.[6]
