It's silly, ridiculous, and absolutely a ton of fun. This book, despite only really focusing on four characters, has enough love geometry to put Marmalade Boy to shame. In order to save Hashimoto's secret, Aoki pretends that he's the one who likes Ida, and then Ida takes him seriously and wants to "start as friends" while he figures his feelings out, at which point Aoki starts to fall for him for real, which feels like a betrayal of both his feelings and Hashimoto's.except that isn't that eraser superstition about how when you wear the person's name off the eraser they'll like you back? And who is that who refused to lend Aoki an eraser in the first place.? One day his friend Aida, Akkun for short, refuses to lend him an eraser, so Hashimoto does.and when he takes off the paper sleeve, he finds that it says "IDA" with a heart! Realizing that this must mean that Hashimoto likes Ida, who sits in front of him, Aoki freaks out and drops the eraser - which Ida picks up. Though marked as shoujo manga, if you’re in for a potential fluffy BL love, you should definitely have this picked up!Īoki has a crush on Hashimoto, who sits next to him in class. The dynamic between Ida and Aoki was also well accentuated that it will leave you wanting more, especially the unexpected plot twist at the end 😭 None of them were set as antagonists which I like that the mangaka could nuance such issue in a light atmosphere. Not to say, all the other characters are equally pleasant and multifaceted. There is a wide spectrum of emotions at play, from reluctance to rage to hyper-sensitivity to ecstasy. Aoki had to deal with the kinds of doubts resulting from his new ✨ gay ✨ urges, in addition to the emotional anguish that comes with being a teenager. The conversation and narration are as intricate as the artwork throughout. But trust me, if this is how a miscommunication trope will be in a novel, I wouldn’t mind one bit! The whole story from the start was hilarious and adorable 😭
I never found any books that give justice to the miscommunication trope. His despair at realizing he has no chance against Ida is swiftly replaced by shame when he drops the eraser and Ida sees his name. Aoki has a crush on Hashimoto, but when he borrows her eraser, he notices Ida's name scribbled on it.
My Love Mix-Up is a sweet and endearing story on how misunderstandings inspire to love growing between Aoki and Ida, two high school boys. Then, I saw the Kieta Hatsukoi video on Tiktok for the second time and realized I have the manga with me! So, I finally started this and I’m never more glad that I did. This was unnecessary information to share but I was watching The Rising of the Shield Hero and was in the mood to read shojo manga afterward.
