Reception

[edit]

The series was recommended by manga author Inio Asano.[17] Gō Sasakibara of The Asahi Shimbun commended the depiction of the yōkai creatures presented in the series and compared Satō's detailed art with humorous touch to Shigeru Mizuki's work, the late manga artist and yōkai specialist known for GeGeGe no Kitarō.[1]
