Reception
Comics Worth Reading's Johanna Draper Carlson criticises the first volume of the manga for its plot which "jumps around a good deal".[11] A later review by Draper Carlson comments on the diversity of personalities in the second volume of the manga.[12] She comments on Fumi Yoshinaga's treatment of the manga like an anthology from her previous work, Antique Bakery.[13]
The fourth volume of Flower of Life was ranked 8th on the Tohan charts between May 29 and June 4, 2007.
