  ## 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. She found that the series was extremely condensed and hard-hitting all the time. Melinda Beasi describes the manga as being intense, melodramatic and deeply unbelievable, and appreciates the masculine character designs. Sandra Scholes feels that it is gritty and dark.
