Reception

Holly Ellingwood, writing for Active Anime, praised the "gripping" writing of the second novel[3] and enjoyed the suspense of the third novel, recommending it to fans of Yellow.[4] Michelle Smith, writing for PopCultureShock, said that she found the fourth volume to be "better than most" other yaoi novels, appreciating that the story was "trying to be about something more than sex".[5]

gollark: Well, not exactly like that, just in some way.
gollark: Maybe magic telegraphs based on accelerating magic through tubes like that.
gollark: It's probably going to be (slightly) faster than human messengers, I'd expect, and probably better for bulk delivery.
gollark: It probably has *some* utility even if it's slow, you know. News transmission or something, if slowly.
gollark: So, how much does it doom?
