“This is very much a slice-of-life story in the most literal sense of that term, and it’s a credit to Yoshinaga’s skill with character building that even these everyday conversations are interesting, letting them give insight to the characters without hammering the reader over the head about it… This is the kind of slice-of-life I want to see, the sort that actually feels like a slice of someone’s life and not just overly pleasant wish-fulfillment.” — The Manga Test Drive
