Reception

Julie Rosato viewed Hoshino's feminine uke designs as a flaw, and thought that each of the stories weren't given enough space to develop properly.{{cite web |last=Rosato |first=Julie |date=2006-08-01 |url=http://www.mania.com/my-only-king-aka-boku-dake-ousama-vol-1_article_82430.html |title=Review - My Only King (aka: Boku Dake no Ousama) Vol. #1 |access-date=2009-10-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121005190432/http://www.mania.com/my-only-king-aka-boku-dake-ousama-vol-1_article_82430.html |archive-date=2012-10-05 }} Phil Guie was confused as to what the theme of the anthology was, but noted that most of the stories are lighthearted.{{Cite web|url=http://www.popcultureshock.com/manga/index.php/reviews/manga-reviews/king/|date=2009-04-22|archive-date=2009-04-25|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090425165527/http://www.popcultureshock.com/manga/index.php/reviews/manga-reviews/king/ |last=Guie|first=Phil|title = Manga Recon » Blog Archive » My Only King}} Joanna Draper Carlson thought the main story of the volume ended too "abruptly", and also criticised the feminine uke designs.{{cite web |url=http://comicsworthreading.com/2006/06/10/june-mangadmp-yaoi-2-beyond-my-touch-my-only-king-you-harujion-art-of-loving/ |title=June Manga/DMP Yaoi 2: Beyond My Touch, My Only King, You & Harujion, Art of Loving » Manga Worth Reading |access-date=2009-12-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091031120756/http://comicsworthreading.com/2006/06/10/june-mangadmp-yaoi-2-beyond-my-touch-my-only-king-you-harujion-art-of-loving/ |archive-date=2009-10-31 }}
