In 2021, Mori began publishing the chapters in Enterbrain's Aokishi magazine instead. In April 2023, Mori released a chapter with only five pages completed due to her health.

Reception
A columnist for Manga News felt the artwork was not as good as that in Mori's next work Emma but was still satisfactory. They also praised the characters, while also describing the story as "uneven". Katherine Dacey of Manga Critic praised the artwork and overall story, though she felt some of the chapters were unfinished. In the 2015 edition of the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! guidebook's list of the top 20 manga for male readers, the series ranked eighth.
