Reception

Ed Chavez of Otaku USA called the series a "manga reader's manga" due to the lack of common tropes such as moe or fan service, and its realism-influenced art. Chavez found the characters and visual presentation to challenge him, with the protagonist's duality making him come back to read more. However, referring to the poor sales of Naoki Urasawa's Monster, he doubted that the American market was "interested in dramas of this caliber".[19]

The manga was part of the selection list for "Best Manga Series 2010" at the 18th Anime & Manga Grand Prix [fr].[20]
