Rebecca Silverman, writing for Anime News Network, reviewed the first volume of the manga. She praised how the manga completed the murder case within a single volume, as well as Sakuya's characterization. However, she questioned Lilithea's characterization, describing her as too robotic and quirky rather than being fleshed out more. She also criticized the supporting character Yuriu as slowing down the pacing. She concluded by saying that while the volume was fun to follow, it was not a must-buy. ==See also==
