Comics Village's Lissa Pattillo comments on the manga's art, saying, she "liked the sketchy look it had and I liked the anatomy during some sex scenes where it’s shown that the characters actually have a little bit of realistic flesh on their frames. Shiba was pretty adorable, wide-eyed and scruffy. I don’t have as much positive to say about Taketora, who not only suffered from some uneven anatomy but from a facial design that I just didn’t find very visually appealing (big lips are too big)."[5] Pop Culture Shock's Michelle Smith comments on the "few genuinely funny panels, like those in which Akatsuki (another dog-person who moves in with Taketora and Shiba) entertains himself by playing with a frog."[6] Anime News Network's Casey Brienza criticises the book, saying, "nothing about this book manifests creative conviction—not the plot, not the characters, not even the furry fetish."[7]
