Summary:


Lovely Complex is a story of a boy and a girl. The girl, Koizumi Risa, is much taller than the average Japanese girl; and the boy, Atsushi Otani, is much shorter than the average Japanese boy. Due to their immense difference in size and constant bickering with each other, the duo is unwillingly the school’s comic relief. As Risa and Otani continue to provide endless laughter for the masses, their friendship develops; and with that, so does Risa’s feelings for Otani...


*****************************


This anime can only be found subbed and most likely will never dubbed because there are so many play on words that just don't translate. Even Risa and Otani's names are plays on words. I don't remmeber what their height was, but it wasn't really all that different. Risa was the height of an avg. adult Japanese male (which is a normal-ish height for a girl in the US.), while Otani was the height of an avg. adult Japanese woman ( I think it was like 5'2, so he is short).


For the most part this anime is realistic, which is rare for anime.


The story covers pretty much their three years of high school. Towards the end Risa kinda turns into a cry baby, but not to the point where it gets really annoying. Also there is a Trap, those who are familiar with Yaoi may know what I'm talking about, others will just have to find out.


I learned all the words to the opening, because the video player I was watching this with wouldn't like me skip anything or it would start over.


I give this a 3 out of 5.
