Noticing Hashimoto had written something on the eraser he’d borrowed, Aoki is devastated to find that she had written "Ida-kun". Little did Aoki know that borrowing one simple eraser would change his life forever. He’s even occasionally borrowed school supplies from her, which is why he didn’t think twice about asking to borrow an eraser from her when he found himself needing one during class one day. Despite being unable to confess his feelings, he’s at least able to talk to her about other, simpler things. Sitting next to her in class every day, Aoki wishes he could find a way to tell her how he feels but something keeps holding him back. It is, however, inclusive and high-quality feel-good fluff, and sometimes, that's all you really need.For longer than he'd care to admit, Sota Aoki (Shunsuke Michieda) has had a crush on his classmate Mio Hashimoto (Riko Fukumoto).
It's not the most original manga in the world - the Cinderella play scene will likely get shojo fans thinking about how Fruits Basket handled a similar scenario much more memorably.
A series with gay and bi lead characters getting this treatment is definitely a positive thing, and the manga as a whole is brimming with positivity - a quality that makes it stand out. RELATED: Eighty Days Tells a Heartfelt Story of Queer Romance Amidst a Backdrop of Warīoys love fans will find a lot to enjoy about My Love Mix-Up! However, it's noteworthy that the series has not been marketed as BL but rather as mainstream shojo. However, two things we can say about the art are that it's much more focused on characters than backgrounds, which are often nonexistent, and that Aruko continues to draw great hilarious facial expressions. Aruko is the artist behind the similarly wholesome shojo romance My Love Story!! Unfortunately, the review copy's reduced visual quality makes it harder to fairly judge the art (Viz's public preview pages have much more vibrant lines and detailed shading than the review copy).
