Reception
Deb Aoki from About.com wrote: "March Story features some dazzling and delicate, almost art nouveau-style art to go along with its often gruesome fables. This very grim fairy tale series will appeal to fans of Vertigo's Fables or Sandman, which makes it a good pick if you're aching for something new to read on All Hallow's Eve."{{cite web|last=Aoki|first=Deb|title=NY Times Manga Bestsellers: Case Closed and March Story Debut|url=http://manga.about.com/b/2010/10/29/ny-times-manga-bestsellers-case-closed-and-march-story-debut.htm|website=About.com|access-date=November 8, 2021|date=October 29, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101124224359/http://manga.about.com:80/b/2010/10/29/ny-times-manga-bestsellers-case-closed-and-march-story-debut.htm|archive-date=November 24, 2010}}
