Reception edit
Anime News Network gave the first volume an overall C+ grade. Silverman notes that taken as whole "it is a bit more miss than hit with a high percentage of stories feeling truncated and at least one premise that badly suffers because of that." However, Silverman felt future volumes may show improvement.[15] CBR had a more positive reception to the series, likening it to a collection of poems of various themes and praising volume 1's theme "Though the harsh realities of love as an adult are painfully clear, the sweetness of its title runs through it all."[16] Writing on Okazu, Erica Friedman rated the first three volumes 9/10, 8/10, and 7/10 respectively,[17][18][19] though she considered the dialogue and character behaviors in many of the stories in volume 1 to be unrealistic for lesbians.[17]
