I wasn't sure what to expect when I first picked up this manga, however after finishing it I was pleasantly surprised. The story follows two teenagers, Mizuto and Yume as they navigate new territory. They had previously dated in middle school however broke up in my own opinion over a misunderstanding. Only now, they are forced to live together because their parents have gotten married. As they walk through uncharted territory we are given moments of comedy and relatability. I hope to be able to get a chance to read the second book if it is ever available.

I received this book from Udon Entertainment & Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I did not know what to expect from this story, whether it will be taken seriously, or goes on a more lighthearted line. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise, because it is equally romantic and unserious. The main characters seem to be a bit annoying for my liking, but I decided it's probably because they are teenagers and I am too old to be able to relate to them.
The panels are nicely executed, the drawings are dashing, and the atmosphere is top notch. I am curious how the story progresses, I am pretty sure I am going to continue the series.

I’m not sure if this is a series or if it will be but I can’t wait to pick up book two. This story follows a girl whose mother marries her ex boyfriend’s dad and they become step siblings shortly after they break up. My only issue with this was the fact that the parents never noticed that they dated before hand. I can’t understand the parents getting married but the book insinuates that they don’t know the two kids have dated so I’m curious as to why they were sneaking a relationship in middle school. Overall the banter was cute and I was rooting for them the whole time. I felt like it was a bit mature so I wouldn’t let me 14 year old read this but I would let her around 16-17, overall I did enjoy the story and gave it 4/5 stars.

"My stepmom's daughter is my ex" follows Mizuto and Yume, two exes who learn their parents are getting married, making them step-siblings. During the story they attempt to navigate this new family dynamic while avoiding their unresolved feelings, leading to plenty of awkward moments.
It was a very fast read, the artwork was really good.
Thank you netgalley for the arc!

This graphic novel follows Mizuto and Yume, two people who dated in secret and broke up because of mutual immaturity. Only to find out a month later that their parents are getting married, making these exes now step siblings. They both struggle with feelings for each other under their new relationship as siblings that they refuse to address. Making for some kinda weird awkward situations.

Funny moments and some tension, constant bickering. I really enjoyed this and am interested in continuing the series so I can see what else these two get up to. Not someone who has read many graphic novels but I could see myself getting into this, thank you!
