Reception[edit]

For Anime News Network's Fall 2023 Manga Guide, Rebecca Silverman gave the first volume a 3 out of 5, noting that "the four-panel format works well here, although the humor does rely on a lot of repetition that can get a little old.", while Christopher Farris gave it a 3.5 out of 5, summarizing "there should be a place for lesbian love stories to have their own shamelessly stupid, kinda-horny comedies, and Cheerful Amnesia fills that role enjoyably enough."[11] Erica Friedman, the founder of Yuricon, was less favourable towards the premise of the series, noting that "this series could read like a very fun, goofy 4-koma, if one read a page or two at a time. As a volume, I felt so desperately sad for Mari who has the body of her lover back, with the soul of a gaping child inhabiting it." [12]
