Reception
Erica Friedman of Yuricon criticised the first volume, finding that the series marly played into fetihes, "Sexual harassment, incest, public sex, non-con. And for that reason, I’m not really a big fan of the series. Sure, Yukio and Komari are in love, but that’s like 1/25th of the Yuri. The other 24/25ths are for people who like their Yuri mean, and nasty."[5] By the final volume volume she felt the series was repeating it; "there’s nothing even remotely interesting in Volume 3, it’s a tired rehash of everything from the first two volumes"[6]
Cathlyn Melo included Gokujou Drops in their "11 Best Yuri Manga to Read in 2022", noting that while it has a very predictable plot, it will not prevent readers from enjoying the series.[7]
