Reception
Mania.com's Eduardo M. Chavez criticises the manga for its art and for the manga trying to be "too much at once."[4] Manga-News criticized the series for being too cliché. They also pointed out that the action scenes are often confusing, but praised the manga for defusing its scariness through its omnipresent humor.[5] They also found the second set of volumes to be more effective and cited the refreshing shift in the manga's main character as a positive.[6]
