This volume continues building on Aoki and Ida's relationship, as well as Hashimoto and Aida's, though we don't really see much of them here. The focus is on miscommunication and hurt feelings, as Aoki, who thinks Ida isn't taking things seriously, butts heads with Ida, who's still thinking things through, on how to approach their relationship. While this is definitely a series that focuses on a slow burn, new relationship type plot, it has felt like the story has stagnated. I was happy to see, then, that we got more from Ida's direct pov, which clarifies some of his actions, as well as provides a better foil for Aoki's antics. Hopefully we continue to get more balanced perspectives, as having everything from Aoki's pov won't work to really further the plot. I still love this series, I still think it's a very important series to have out there, and i'm excited to see where things go next.

This series continues to be absurdly cute. I get the same "I wanna smoosh their faces" feel that I get when I read "Heartstopper," which is about as high a compliment as I can give.

Another pleasant installment in this sweet series. Aoki and Ida's relationship is slowly getting closer as the story progresses, but not without bumps along the way. I'm not too fond of how Aoki handles when there's miscommunication between the two of them, but it doesn't hinder me from enjoying the story as a whole. (It is pretty annoying, though.)

Another adorable volume in the My Love Mix-Up! series to enjoy. Aoki and Ida deal with revealing their relationship beyond our quartet and their different feelings on this. Meanwhile, Hashimoto and Aida deepen their friendship. This is a pretty chill volume without big events (despite including our Christmas special!) yet it leads into another major step in our characters' lives to follow next volume. I'm excited as always!

Light and sweet—I can’t stop gobbling up these little volumes! The character growth is heartwarming and the humor is well-timed.

Besides the miscommunication on how they wanted the relationship to be revealed to others, I love AND WANNA THROTTLE THESE BOYS!

SLOW BURN ROMANCE FOR SURE!
Side couple is growing, and I am ready for more.

I just love this series! I seriously can not get enough of it. It's cute and funny with memorable characters and amazing art. The dramatic and humorous faces make me chuckle every time. There was some progress in Ida and Aoki's relationship in this volume, but it's always one step forward and two steps back. That's fine, I can be patient. I'm liking the dynamic between Hashimoto and Aida as well. Highly recommended to fans of shojo and BL manga.

Feels like the story and characters are stagnating a bit. This volume didn't do much to move Aoki and Ida's relationship forward.
