Lovely Complex

Synopsis: Risa Koizumi, taller than the average girl, and Atsushi Ootani, shorter than the average guy – their constant bickering and comical love-hate relationship is well-known throughout the school. They act similarly and love the same music, and their friendship is full of laughing, shouting at each other, and of course, lots of jokes about one another’s height. But when Risa notices her feelings for Ootani growing, she’s worried. She doesn’t know if he can ever see her as more than a friend. With her friends rooting for her, she struggles to make him see how she feels about him, and that a romantic relationship between a tall girl and a short guy can work. Oblivious Ootani doesn’t make things easy for her, but she stubbornly perseveres in her own unconventional way, determined for her feelings to get through to him, and finally be returned. If only she could do it without driving herself and everyone else crazy in the process…

I can see how society views this very differently. Risa who’s 5′7 and Ootani 5′1. It looks bad cause stereotypically the male should be taller. This sticks because female claim they wall tall, dark, and handsome. But at some point it went terribly wrong. I remember ranting about this on my other blog, so i’m not going to get into the details. This anime was lovely. I’m using that word way to much. I was also told guys don’t use that word. But what do i care, i’m tea drinking dorama watching paranoid man. Right…the anime. The graphics was very bright, cheerful like. It was colorful and the way it was designed reminded me of another similar romance anime. It had it’s comedy time as well as some sad moments. Not sad as in i’m going to cry sad, but sad as in wow society is like this sad.

7.5/10
