Reception
Manga Worth Reading's Johanna Draper Carlson criticizes the manga's plot with "once you've created a woman who's happier out of a relationship and broken up her marriage, there's a lack of plot points that suggest themselves." Animefringe's Dillon Font commends Sakurazawa's "realistic and touching grasp on the interactions that people maintain with each other. Her dialogue is wonderfully honest and well-written. Her art and stories are a dream to experience and I'm pleased to report that her latest collection does not disappoint." Sequential Tart's Margaret O'Connell labels Angel Nest as a "sophisticated grown-up fantasy".
