Reception

The series received very negative critics from manga and anime reviewers. John Jakala said that the first instalment of the series was okay, but the second was even more amateur. He referred to a car panel as it looked like something an elementary school child would draw in the margins of his math notebook. He also noted that he does not want to pay for work of such unprofessional quality. He cast his vote against Bomber Girl on an online survey. John Jakala continuously made fun of the series in the later reviews.

Jason Thompson described it as "amoral girl with big boobs killing and torturing people," despising the manga as he stated, "[it] is so awful that I assume it got published because [Makoto] Niwano jumped into an icy river to save [Tetsuo] Hara and [Tsukasa] Hojo from drowning." Eduardo M. Chavez of Mania Entertainment pondered, "For those looking for a manga with a lot of action, a good amount of fan-service, and some crazy looking characters this might be a good call. ... For those looking for something with a decent plot, character designs that won't disturb you, and fan-service that does not involved greased up male cult members or a gang boss that has a on ... his phallus you should pass."
