"It actually reminds me a lot of Mike Allred's work...it's an attractive book, and the stories are just beginning to really showcase Yamazaki's abilities as an artist." -Greg McElhatton, Read About Comics

"One of the ongoing series I most look forward to, in all its goofy, gruesome glory." -Shaenon Garrity, Anime News Network
