Reception
"The manga Dragon Sister! has an immediately engaging sense of fun and adventure. That it is overflowing with attractive women certainly doesn’t hurt, that the women are intelligent and effective fighters and war leaders makes it all the more irresistible." — Holly Ellingwood, activeAnime.[19]"If you're attracted to the image of the cute girl in the suggestive outfit on the cover, you're going to be happy with the character designs and the artwork throughout the book itself. If, however, you're looking for a different take on one of history's most-told tales, this is certainly a worthy title to check out." — A. E. Sparrow, IGN.[20]"The beginning chapters are too strong for the book to be an outright failure; but for the book to turn away from its strengths the way it does can make for more frustrating reading than something that's simply dull." — Ben Leary, Mania.[21]"Strictly for the fanservice crowd; others are advised to look elsewhere for more enlightened tales of female empowerment." — Katherine Dacey, Pop Culture Shock.[22]
