Reception

Kim Morrissy and Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network had differing opinions; Morrissy liked the initial plot twist but felt that it relied too heavily on tropes. Silverman liked the setting and use of folklore, though she also felt it relied too much on tropes.[1] Demelza of Anime UK News described it as "[not] the polished fantasy series I was hoping for but there's plenty to enjoy here" and recommended it to fans of Strike the Blood.[20]
