Reception
The series was well received and was nominated for the 2018 Next Manga Award. It is also popular with readers; in a 2020 survey about what manga series people would like to see adapted into an anime series, where 70% of respondents were women, Amachi wa Jishou Osu was the 15th most requested. The series has performed well commercially, with volume 1 maintaining the number one ranking on Pixiv for a month after its release. The print volumes sold enough to warrant a reprint of the first three volumes by May 2019. Critics liked the title character for his cuteness; Music.jp appreciated the series for Amachin's cuteness, naivete, and slight eroticism, and called it a great and refreshing otokonoko series. Bukumaru called it a must-read otokonoko manga: they appreciated it for the contrast between Amachin's appearance and brazenness, calling him cuter than girls and bolder than guys. They also enjoyed the depiction of Amachin's and Tatsumi's relationship, finding it unique and interesting to follow. Honcierge also found the contrast interesting, exemplified by the volume 1 cover art, showing what appears to be a cute girl in the men's bathroom. They also enjoyed the rest of the cast, considering them to stand out, and liked their character designs, commending Terai for her ability to draw both cute and cool characters. Magmix recommended it to readers who like comedy manga.
