Reception

The Media Blasters translation of Fujoshi Rumi released to mixed positive reviews, with Anime News Network giving the first two volumes an overall B−, stating "There are a number of typos in the first volume, and several text boxes and balloons are missing words in the second. ... Even so, Fujoshi Rumi is without a doubt one of Media Blasters' best manga releases to date and far and away the best in quite a long time."[4] Pop Culture Shock also reviewed the first two volumes, praising the series' humor, translation notes, and pop culture references.[5] Sequential Tart called the series a "fan-friendly little bubble of fictional high school life".[6]
