Lovely★Complex
Created by Aya Nakahara
A bright, energetic high school romcom built on slapstick chemistry and the gradual recognition of love between two mismatched teenagers.
Love is unusual for Koizumi Risa and Ootani Atsushi, who are both striving to find their ideal partner in high school—172 cm tall Koizumi is much taller than the average girl, and Ootani is much shorter than the average guy at 156 cm.
