The graphics are generally praised for their clean and polished visuals, with smooth character animations that appeal to anime fans.

- “I see, this is a L2D display app, literally nothing more. The model and movement are good, but there’s one issue with the model: because of the movement length, part of her shoes fell off. The model’s art style reminds me of Aoi Nabi's art style, as she is kind of similar to Uto’s model.”
