Reception


Erica Friedman of Yuricon gave the series positive reviews, noting in her review of volume 1 that "I really enjoyed this book, enough that I finished it and started again to see what I had missed anything the first time around. [...] The scenario of a mis-matched pair who completely work for and with each other appealed and it was especially nice to see tattoos and piercings not evidence of criminal class existence, just as body art."
Adam Symchuk of asianmoviepulse.com wrote of the series "despite an awkward flow that leaves the reader wanting more, “Assorted Entanglements” is a sharp and witty series that fills that ever-desired role of exploring mature relationships. Furthermore, Mikanuji does not shy away from difficult subject material to give a layer of realism that conveys the potential complexities surrounding both relationships with previous baggage and the societal problems lesbian couples face in Japan."
