Genre: Based on a manga, romance, comedy

What It’s About: 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.

Sota Aoki (Shunsuke Michieda) has had a crush on his classmate Mio Hashimoto (Riko Fukumoto) for as long as he can remember, but confessing has never seemed possible. Still, he sits next to her in class every day, so he didn’t think much of asking to borrow an eraser from her during class one day. Little did Aoki know that one simple eraser would change his life forever.

Aoki is devastated to find that Hashimoto had written the name "Ida-kun" on the eraser he’d borrowed. Realizing she’s interested in someone else, Aoki is so flustered that he drops the eraser. In a shocking twist, the very same Kousuke Ida (Ren Meguro) picks up the eraser and hands it back to Aoki, but not without first noticing his name on the eraser.

Now Ida is convinced that Aoki has a crush on him and Aoki is convinced that Hashimoto just wants to be friends, Aoki has no idea what to do next. Can he clear up the misunderstanding with Ida, or will fate take the wheel?

Adapted from the manga of the same name written by Wataru Hinekure, My Love Mix-Up! is a 2021 romantic comedy drama directed by Shogo Kusano and Tadaaki Horai.
