Reception[edit]

Anime News Network's has given the series positive reviews. In their Spring 2018 Manga Guide Rebecca Silverman gave the first volume a 4 out of 5, noting that "most of the couples in the anthology have a strong element of friendship to their relationships is perhaps part of the appeal [...] It's a nice take on the romance genre, which so often relies on lust turning to love than beginning with an emotional bond." While Amy McNulty gave the volume a 3.5 out of 5, concluding "there's no particular story that's likely to stick with the reader long after, but each makes an impact in its own way and there really isn't any major overlap in tone, setting, or circumstances within these pages."[17] Éclair Blanche was given a 3.5 out of 5 by both Silverman and Faye Hopper, with Hopper remarking that "Éclair Blanche might be conventional yuri, but for the most part it is very good conventional yuri."[18]
