My Love Mix-Up!, Vol. 4 by Aruko, Wataru Hinekure

4.0

Like 3.5 or 3.75 compared to rating the previous ones solid 4’s. 4th volume of a super cute BL manga about a mix up in a love triangle about who likes who, that ultimately ends up with some personal growth and the two boys involved dating.

I liked this one, though I wish a bit more time had been spent with our main couple enjoying time together. Between the clumsiness of first relationships, the big emotions of our main character, and the well-meaning but somewhat obliviousness of his love interest, they spend a lot of the volume in conflict.

Which on the one hand the theme of the series is continual love mix-ups as the teens figure out themselves and their feelings for one another, but on the other hand I wanted to see a bit more of them having fun hanging out or going on a date that wasn’t either leading up to a mix-up or the reconciliation from it.

Not my favorite in the series but still cute, sweet, and funny. Always has a few moments that get an audible “Ha!” And a big grin from me, and a fun quick read. In the “I might buy these on sale some day” category for me.
I got this one from the library and I’m currently on a waiting list to read volume 5 from the library as well.
