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!

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.

Musste im ersten Moment ein wenig an »Dein Verlangen gehört mir« von Ai Hibiki denken - zumindest hat mich der Zeichenstil etwas daran erinnert und auch das Stiefgeschwister-Thema - war dann aber doch ein wenig anders. Und wie es immer so ist: entweder man mag das Setting oder man hasst es 😂 ich find's oft ganz witzig und unterhaltsam (liebe zb ja »Marmalade Boy« von Wataru Yoshizumi sehr). Hier begleiten wir ein früheres Pärchen, das durch die Heirat ihrer Eltern zu Stiefgeschwistern wird und von nun an unter einem Dach zusammenlebt. Ebenso gehen sie auf dieselbe Schule und landen in der gleichen Klasse. Außer ihnen beiden weiß niemand, dass sie mal zusammen waren (da sie es einfach für sich behalten wollten damals). Und so nimmt dann natürlich das Chaos seinen Lauf..
Der Manga erfindet nichts neu, irgendwie hat man alles schonmal ähnlich erlebt, doch ich find die beiden eigentlich ganz süß. Im ersten Band tasten sie sich eher noch aneinander an und es fühlt sich mehr wie ein Prolog an. Würde aber ggf schon noch den nächsten Band lesen und anhand dessen mich dann entscheiden, ob's weitergehen soll oder nicht. Man merkt schon, dass es mehr an Teenager gerichtet ist, denn die können sich am besten in die Gedanken hineinversetzen - im Erwachsenenalter schwelgt man eher in Erinnerungen, haha. Nichtsdestotrotz find ich das Artwork auch ganz schön, ebenso hat es einige Details. Ich hatte meinen Spaß und wer seichte RomCom mag, wird hier sicherlich auch Spaß dran haben können 😄

My Stepmom's Daughter is my Ex is something I probably wouldn't read otherwise, but I wanted to try it to see if there's any progress in the genre. At least in this case there was and this is actually better what I originally thought. But that's all thanks to Irido Mizuto alone. So, our main characters are Irido Mizuto and Ayai Yume, who used to date, but not anymore. But, as luck would have it, their parents got together and now they are half siblings. They kept their dating a secret, so now the whole thing is solely their inner battle and their bickering is only theirs as they need to pretend to be in good terms in front of the others. Well, the guy is actually the only good thing in the series, since he's very normal. This is why I said Irido is best. The girl is your average bimbo, who acts like every other "don't tease me onii-chan" character out there. Meh meh.

The art is OK, the characters look a little too wooden for my liking and I don't really enjoy the ecchi moments either. So, art-wise this is basic. There are some good moments too and even humor, but I don't see that much opportunities to improvement to continue reading.

Despite the odd title this one was pretty cute.

Have the main couple who were dating BEFORE their father and mother met. During dating everything was going smooth till they broke up. A year later, their parents met, and married, and now they live together as brother and sister. Weird right? But it can happen, it's not that far fetched. The problem is these two have feelings for each other they don't wanna address.

Leading to a lot of funny moments, mixed with sexual tension, while learning how to live together. All in all, light hearted and fun, and something I enjoyed reading when I didn't think it be nearly as good as it is. A 4 out of 5.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to NetGalley, Kyosuke Kamishiro and Udon Entertainment for this ARC.

This is volume 1 in the series.

This manga follows Mizuto and Yume who dated during middle school. But just a month after their breakup, they learn that their single parents are getting married and they'll be living in the same house!

This was an interesting read and I had mixed feelings about it. There were some funny moments and some sweet moments as well. It will be interesting to see how things go for them.

This book is as confusing and annoying as the title is. In this manga, you have two kids who dated in middle school and broke up two weeks ago because their parents got married. They dated for over a year. Even if it was a middle school relationship, don’t you think the parents would know something. Even not taking that into account, the arguments and the historical connotation of their middle school relationship is as obnoxious as a middle school relationship usually is. The male character talks to the librarian so the female character think he’s cheating. This is so ridiculous. I wish it was better and it’s a DNF at 30%.

Mizuto and Yume dated, or sorted dated in middle school. But they broke up before high school. But then their parents got together and now they are step siblings living under the same roof. And the pair are working hard on their parents not finding out that they used to be a couple. So they have that pressure. Plus they both got accepted at the same prestigious high school and are in the same class. More awkwardness to overcome. So how will Mizuto and Yume manage their lives? Read this manga and find out!

Thanks Netgalley and Udon Entertainment for the chance to read this title!

I thought this was fine. At first I was really confused about the girls personality. At first she was really shy and always kept to herself and that flipped 180 degrees because… she broke up with her boyfriend? What? That not how things work.

I did enjoy the last few chapters when they were in school.

It's fine for what it is. It does have its funny moments due to the mess that comes with this contrived plot, but will I continue it? Probably not.
