Reception

In Anime News Network's 2022 Spring Light Novel Guide gave it a 3 out of 5 ratings, Silverman notes that "Piero Karasu has a nice touch with the girls' attraction to each other that makes the romance really slow and sweet." however she criticizes that this is "buried under too many pages of world-building and explanation."

For Anime News Network's 2022 Spring Manga Guide the manga adaptions were given a 3 and a half out of 5 ratings. Silverman notes that while the light novels struggle to find a balance between world-building and plots, as well as having too many narrative voices that all sound alike, these issues "are largely absent from Harustugu Nadaka's manga version. In part, this is simply because the manga format, with its use of speech and thought bubbles, negates the need for the confusing narration found in the book" Erica Friedman, the founder of Yuricon, notes that while the first volume of the light novel left them feeling uninspired, the manga was well done enough for her to continue reading the series, "You want to know what the grand experiment is and how Euphyllia can help Anisphia and you cheer for them both as they launch themselves into a grand adventure. [...] now I’m kind of interested in reading more of the manga to see what happens."
