Tomo Machiyama of Pulp included the series on the "Most Hellish (Untranslated) Manga....ever!!!" list. Machiyama described the series as "A Clockwork Orange meets Natural Born Killers". Machiyama said that the story "sounds really stupid and meaningless", but that it is "meticulously rendered in detailed super-realism", highlighting its art.
