Reception

Anime News Network said that Love Quest is a "serious stinker",[2] but Mania Entertainment found it "surprisingly entertaining", regarding Hoshino's art as redeeming the story.[3] Deb Aoki for About.com felt that Hoshino's sense of humour was the saving grace of Love Quest, and described it as "disposable BL fun".[4] PopCultureShock describes the story as being quite good for a oneshot, and roughly equivalent to a romance novel.[5] Jason Thompson was disappointed by the "lack of humor" and apparent "rushed, sketchy execution" of the manga.[6]
