Reception

Briana Lawrence was shocked by the manga, appreciating the brutality of the setting, highlighting that the rape scenes are not an unrealistic rape fantasy.[8] She found that the series was extremely condensed and hard-hitting all the time.[9] Melinda Beasi describes the manga as being intense, melodramatic and deeply unbelievable, and appreciates the masculine character designs.[10] Sandra Scholes feels that it is gritty and dark.[11]
