Reception
Erica Friedman of Yuricon gave the first volume an overall 8 rating, while noting that the art style did not appeal to her, Friedman still went on to praise Poor Poor Lips leads, remarking that "the comic is a series of 4-koma strips, and range from beating Nako’s state of poverty to death [...] and to Ren’s privilege and her orientation. But never in a mean way. Nako’s not entirely naive, but she’s not entirely clueful either, which makes for a nice mix of goofy silly and plain funny." Cathlyn Melo included Poor Poor Lips in their "11 Best Yuri Manga to Read in 2022", noting that "despite having a 4-koma style, the premise of Poor Poor Lips is also well structured."
