Reception
editErica Friedman of Yuricon gave the series an overall positive review, while in her review of volume 1 she noted that "Teiji ni Ageretara is not the most compelling office romance I’ve read, in part because the characters act as if they are 14, not 24",[8] Friedman went on to say in her review of the final volume that "it’s a lovely series that gives one hope for both Jousei and Shakaijin Yuri, modeling happy, healthy relationships between people who are accepted and loved by the people around them."[9]
