Reception
Anime News Network gave volume one an overall rating of A−, noting that "Nanaki's use of the phrase "repay you with my body" (meaning her make up and shopping skills) is loaded, with Kanade giving it a sexual connotation in her mind, but right now that's less important than the validation the girls bring to each other: that they are worthwhile people no matter what anyone else says." Erica Friedman of Yuricon praised the work, noting that "This series has a pretty standard beginning, but it definitely picks up steam as it moves along." Failed Princesses was included on the School Library Journal's recommendation list of nine LGBTQIA+ manga for teens.
