What a light and delightful comedy of errors—I look forward to reading more of these characters’ mishaps as they navigate love and friendship with one another.

Man, this was hilarious!
I thought I was getting another love triangle romance, but this was a breath of fresh air. I never laughed so much reading a manga, and the romantic element has my heart singing.
At first, it seems tropey as hell. Miscommunication, love triangles, etc, but it worked. All the characters have great personalities, they work do well off each other, and the romance felt natural. Yes, it started off with miscommunication, but the genuine feelings that grew from them make it so sweet.
But the comedy is top notch. The main character makes the greatest faces ever, and the comedic timing had me cackling. I can’t wait for the second volume. That cliff hanger promises more wacky shenanigans to ensue.

This is a really cute shojo series, off to a great start! The confusion starts almost immediately when Aoki's crush, Hashimoto lends him an eraser that has her crush's name on it, and this happens to be Ida, the boy that sits in front of Aoki. Miscommunication and Aoki wanting to protect Hashimoto's secret means that now Ida thinks Aoki likes him. The typical slice of life school romance hijinks go down, with the characters forming strong friendships and going through the school's cultural festival together. All the interaction has Aoki thinking that he actually has a crush on Ida after all, and has no clue what to do about it. This first volume sets up the tone of the series very well, it's full of humor and fun character interactions, the friendship between Aoki and Hashimoto is particularly sweet, and I like seeing Aoki and Ida getting to know each other better, since they start off basically as strangers. I'm looking forward to reading more of the series!

My Love Mix-Up by Wataru Hinekure was such a delightful read!!!
I love these newer concepts in manga where love is love, no matter gender and there’s no prejudice at all. It’s really refreshing and light and it makes me happy.
I’m very interested to see how this story pans out, so I’ll be keeping my eye out.
And the ending was so cute!

This manga is a romance story with simple and cute plot. It was easy to read and not put down until you’re done. The story is wholesome and will make you laugh. The ending was completely amazing and was something that wasn’t expected. The art style completed the story beautifully and made the read that much more enjoyable.

Debut writer Wataru Hinekure teams up with seasoned artist Aruko (My Love Story!!) for this adorable romcom abundant with misunderstandings. When Aoki borrows an eraser from his crush Hashimoto he's surprised to find it's been engraved with the name Ida and a little heart. He's even more surprised when he's caught red-handed holding the eraser by Ida himself! In order to protect Hashimoto's first love he maintains the charade and a comedy of error ensures.
I have been super excited for the English release of this series and the first volume does not disappoint! Aruko's art is fairly simple here but the range of expressions she employs really brings the laughs. Both Aoki and Ida take center stage in this volume and are quick to endear you to them, I'm looking forward to getting to know Hashimoto more too next volume! This is definitely an instant buy for me.

This was EXTREMELY cute. The premise (protagonist borrows an eraser from the girl he has a crush on, she's written the name of another boy on it, protagonist drops it in front of that boy who now assumes that HE has a crush on him, protagonist is too worried about embarrassing his crush in front of HER crush to explain the mix-up, and the supposed object of their mutual affections is trying so hard not to hurt protagonist's (nonexistent) feelings that he ends up... having feelings) is just the kind of wacky yet wholesome nonsense that I like in a manga. I especially appreciated that the protagonist and his female crush ended up becoming good friends! The art is done by the same artist as My Love Story!!, so it's a very sweet shoujo aesthetic. If you've ever thought "I want to read a sweet, silly shoujo high school romance, but I want it to be queer", this is the title for you. Obviously no promises about how the story will progress in subsequent volumes, but I really liked the first one!

I absolutely adored this book, and am extremely excited to see how Aoki and Ida end up. I do get some 'Blue Flag' (Kaito - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51086632-blue-flag-vol-1?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=EMfNsZqo8X&rank=2) vibes from the concept; which is great because I absolutely loved the story.
A case of mistaken crushes is underway!
Aoki has been crushing on sweet, helpful Hashimoto, a girl who sits next to him in class. When asking to borrow an eraser from Hashimoto for a pop quiz, Aoki finds writing on her eraser and realizes Hashimoto's crushing on another classmate IDA. Caught off-guard, Aoki drops said eraser is picked up by none other than Ida, himself.
Not wanting to ruin Hashimoto's secret crush, Aoki takes the fall and claims the eraser to be his; confusing Ida into thinking Aoki has a crush on him instead. Watch the confusion ensue, and the love blossom all because of a little white lie.

OH MY GOD I haven't read a manga that made me feel good like this in years!!! I'm so so excited to read more! I adore how wholesome the characters are, and I'm so happy to be reading a queer romance that isn't hyper sexualized yaoi.
