## Reception

Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network praised the characters and setting, though she noted the series "often feels too deliberately weird". Silverman also praised Seven Seas Entertainment's allusion to the Eagles' 1977 song "Hotel California" on the back of the book. A columnist for Manga News praised the use of horror and comedy in the story. He also compared it to the works of Kōji Kumeta and Tim Burton.
