Reception
The series has received positive reviews. Nicholas Dupree for Anime News Network gave the first volume an overall B rating, noting that while the series follows an "extremely familiar story" of an anxious teenager struggling to make friends who meets a quirky girl, "that doesn't mean it can't be a good one if told well, and through this first volume, this series is a firmly charming riff on the formula." Erica Friedman of Yuricon rated the first volume 8 out of 10 rating, describing "Hello, Melancholic! as a "story of a life redeemed from the darkness." She praised the depiction of Minato's musical experiences and noted Mo Harrison's lettering in the English volume for effectively capturing the music on the page. Hello, Melancholic! was included on the School Library Journal's recommendation list of nine LGBTQIA+ manga for teens.
