Reception
Katherine Farmar, writing for Comics Village, found that although the story was formulaic, it was still "charming" and not a "soulless retread". Mania Entertainment's Patricia Beard found that the misunderstandings between Micah's American culture and Yuuki's Japanese culture were refreshing, but found the story of the takeover was done away with too quickly, leaving the story aimless. Active Anime's Holly Ellingwood found that the story was "an entertaining dramatic romance with a fine share of melodrama for the aspiring couple." Jason Thompson found the story "completely predictable", the characters "two-dimensional", and the art "stiff", calling it overall "a particularly weak effort".
