Plus, his conflicting feelings through it all clearly show that he wants to try and sway Hashimoto.

Why else after getting your heart broken would you continue to go out of your way to listen to your crush’s problems? That would be torture for just about any guy and, yet, Aoki does it with a smile on his face. On the flip side, he’s also taking his own feelings into account in hopes that maybe he could be a good enough friend to her so her feelings would sway in his direction. This means he’s taking her feelings into consideration and shows that he admires her too much to cause problems for her. He’s playing the good guy because he’s protecting Hashimoto from, what he thought to be, an embarrassing situation should Ida find out about the crush she had. By not telling Ida about the mistaken crush Hashimoto had on him, he’s doing a few things here. It’s not Ida that she likes but Aoki’s friend Aida! Aoki realizes that he got the person’s name wrong and he’s beginning to get in too deep with Ida, causing a bit of a quandary for him! CharactersĪoki is sweet, caring, and thoughtful. The worse situation for all of them comes when Hashimoto puts Aoki deep into the friendzone and finally gets the nerve to talk with Aoki about her crush.Īpparently, Aoki didn’t see the full name on the eraser. What makes matters even worse is that Aida, one of Aoki’s best friends, is approached by Ida who wants some help to try and smooth things over with Aoki after a misunderstanding caused Aoki to cry. Thinking that he can get the two of them together, he volunteers Ida against his will and ends up getting paired up with Aoki instead! The volume continues on with mishap after mishap… including the class putting on a performance of Cinderella where Aoki notices that Hashimoto is put onto the prop team. This causes Ida to get the wrong impression and since he has never experienced emotions (let alone romantic ones), he begins to give it some thought about what it would be like to date Aoki but doesn’t really commit to anything just yet. He invites Ida to the rooftop in order to explain the situation however, he just can’t bring himself to spoil Hashimoto’s crush on him.

He drops the eraser and Ida just happens to pick it up! Not wanting to reveal Hashimoto’s secret, he lies and says that the eraser is his. At that moment, he realizes that she likes another classmate of theirs, and his heart is completely broken. When he goes to use it, he discovers that Hashimoto wrote the name Ida on the eraser with a heart on it. One day, he forgets his eraser so she lends him one of her spares. He thinks the world of her and how sweet and pure she is. Aoki has a crush on his classmate Hashimoto. My Love Mix-Up! Is a story about a convoluted romantic mess between three classmates.
