Reception
[edit]Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network gave I Don't Know Which Is Love's first volume an overall B− rating, praising Tamamushi Oku's art for being expressive and effective at capturing the different energies of each character. She summarized that volume 1 was a "solid introduction that has a lot of gags – and cheesecake – for fans of harem manga, yuri manga, and especially for both."[10]
