Planete BD reviewer Faustine Lillaz called the first volume "a mediocre introduction that serves mainly to set the scene" and gave the drawings 2 out of 4 "good" stars and she described the graphics as very dynamic and the decorations detailed and wrote: "The characters are expressive and charismatic, but they tend to pose, which is annoying."[17] Manga Sanctuary called tsubaki's Number completely disappointing with very smooth and basic graphics and layout that does not feel like a shōjo manga and does not know the purpose of the story at the end of the first volume.[18]
