[9] Its first chapter was the world's most viewed in its first week of publication on Manga Plus, and the series has received over 99 million page views on the platform by April 2024. [10] The series has been recommended by manga creators Kōhei Horikoshi and Masashi Kishimoto, and the musician Vaundy. [11] [12] [13]

It ranked seventh on AnimeJapan's "Most Wanted Anime Adaptation" poll in 2024. [14] [15] The manga has been nominated for the 2024 Next Manga Award in the print category. [16]
