Reception

In May 2015, it was announced that the print editions of the manga would be removed from Amazon Japan due to the revised Youth Healthy Development Ordinance laws.[15]

Nicoletta Christina Browne of THEM Anime Reviews gave the OAD 1 out of 5 stars. Browne criticized the series for its content, involving minors in sexual situations, and wrote: "While I could complain more about the crappy art and animation or the stupidity of the concept, that would ultimately give it too much credit. It is twenty-six minutes of watching fifth graders get aroused while being around a pedophile, and that is all you need to know".[16]
