Reception
The sixth volume of NG Life was ranked 25th on the Tohan charts between January 20 and 26, 2009.

He concludes that the character relationships are the "selling point" of the series. GraphicNovelReporter.com's Courtney Kraft comments that the art style is adequate but criticizes the "kookyness" citing the drama at the end of volume one was necessary to balance it. Comics Worth Reading's Johanna Draper Carlson heavily panned the manga for its art and "two-dimensional characters that are predictable and uninteresting."

The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
