Reception
[edit]Mania.com's Danielle van Gorder has mixed reception about Miike's art with "Miike's art is gorgeous, wispy and light, but with strong, assured linework rather than flyaway sketchy lines. Her character designs aren't always as distinct as they could be, especially across some of the stories, and anatomical proportions are sometimes a little off, but she makes excellent use of negative space, and screentone."[4] Comic Book Bin's Leeroy Douresseaux commends the title story, which is "the strongest in terms of character and story and is worthy of getting an entire volume to itself. The other stories range from standard to better-than-average boys’ love fare."[5] ActiveAnime's Rachel Bentham commends the yaoi anthology's "decent art", which "has varying explicitness depending on which story it is."[6]
