My Love Mix-Up!

Keita Hatsukoi was an enjoyable watch but didn't emerge out to be extra ordinary.

First few episodes were beautiful, I loved the play that took place and I loved Aoki's character development, which are the reasons for the good enough rating that I'm giving this show.

As the show went on it started to lack in the quality that was seen in initial episodes, and they could have been better written. But keeping in mind that this show is adapted from a manga and not written separately, I'll ignore that point.

Altogether a cute, fluffy show without a really thrilling or out of ordinary storyline.

My Love Mix-Up is a BL drama about high schoolers in the throes of first love. I was invested the two love stories and laughed so hard in the process. It's lovely the writes and director chose the comedic route.

(For longer than he'd care to admit, Sota Aoki (Shunsuke Michieda) has had a crush on his classmate Mio Hashimoto (Riko Fukumoto). 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. Despite being unable to confess his feelings, he's at least able to talk to her about other, simpler things. 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.

Little did Aoki know that borrowing one simple eraser would change his life forever. Noticing Hashimoto had written something on the eraser he'd borrowed, Aoki is devastated to find that she had written "Ida-kun". Crushed by the realization that she has absolutely no romantic interest in him, Aoki finds himself so flustered that he accidentally drops the eraser. Much to his horror, the very same Kousuke Ida (Ren Meguro), picks up the eraser and hands it back to Aoki. Noticing his name on the eraser, Ida suddenly sees Aoki in an entirely different light.

With Ida now convinced Aoki has a crush on him and Hashimoto wanting nothing more from him than their casual friendship, Aoki has no idea what to do next. Will he be able to clear up this misunderstanding with Ida, or will he find that fate has other plans?)

Such a cute and simple love story! Aww...Fairytale romance about little things and gestures but with real settings and situations. Not like larger than life disney stuff.

Aoki and Ida are so cute! Great chemistry! The little things like holding hands between Aoki and Ida are so adorable!

Hashimoto is adorable too. I didn't like Aida (the character, not the actor) though. He was so full of himself.

Cinematography is brilliant. Background score is so melodious.

I can't gush more about it... watch if you're looking for escapism from this desolate world. This show makes life look so beautiful and makes you believe in love and empathy.

Taking you to the feeling of eating a fluffy cupcake, with only smiles and giggles to come by, Kieta Hatsukoi is a chill but really enjoyable watch. It is humorous, witty, but warm and heartfelt.

The four main actors brought phenomenal performances as each upholds to the characters they are portraying. Hats off to Shunsuke and Riko!

The story accomplished what it promised giving out hunger for the audience to come back and indulge once again to the beauty of young love.

Moreover, the theme songs are worth to sing along, too! With Snow Man's Secret Touch alluding to Ida's calm but sure love for Aoki and Naniwa Danshi's Ubu LOVE reflecting to the latter's brightness and lightheartedness, a perfection is up on your way!

Kieta Hatsukoi is an absolute tread to the growing sensation of BL genre!

I love how they portray the protagonist's character in a cute, enteratining way. Although I'm expecting more especially with the ending, it really exceeded my expectation especially its an adaptation. Definitely deserves a second season.
