Episodes

Reception Writing for Anime News Network, Rebecca Silverman reviewed the first volume. She notes how, despite following isekai tropes and following common fantasy elements, the series is able to stand out and flesh out the premise. She praised the character designs, finding them adorable. She even noted how Akira being a goblin, in contrast to the world's humans, was well-done as a driving force. Although she ultimately thought positively of the volume, stating that it was better than its title suggested, she did feel that the series remained limited by its fantasy genre.
