Reception
Carlo Santos, writing for Anime News Network, disliked the 'recycling' of character designs between stories, and felt that the plots were also repetitive.[3] Katja Bürk, writing for animePRO, described the tales as "typical shonen-ai stories".[4] Leroy Douresseaux described the stories as "well done stereotypical seme/uke tales" and finding them " oh-so-fun to read".[5] Michelle Smith found the age differences in some stories "disturbing", but found other stories uninteresting.[6]
