@@priya.ch.5151 IKR! The only anime I can think of that made me laugh(aside from Lovely Complex) are: My Bride is a Mermaid and D-Frag. Others mostly consist of scenes from shonen series, like Kagome telling Inu-Yasha to sit, or the first episode of Trigun.
i love how the core of this series is ultimately centered around two people who let go of their own doubt and learn that love and care transcend social expectations. risa pursues otani in spite of his rejection because she wholeheartedly believes in the love she has for him, and otani opens himself up to see how precious what he has with risa really is. i’ve seen a lot of shoujo and i’ve rarely seen one this profound, much less in a really entertaining and dynamic way. plus (mostly) positive trans representation!
I really liked this show and I liked when the protagonists where natural and themselves , and kinda wish the friends just let things happen sometimes and not so forceful but I do like how they cared
As a short guy I feel Ootani and the protagonist. People put so much emphasis on height its insane, it’s not like we can change it. Edit: just to point out I’m not solely talking about dating in this comment.
That's because society equates height with the level of maturity. For some odd reason. A tall 12 yo would be acknowledged as a woman in an shopping store.
I think he did like her fundamentally but they automatically friendzoned each other hard because their height and the long running joke about them. Sometimes you can be friends with someone you could potentially like but don’t ever look at that way depending on your own personality or social pressures. I think he always understood how special their relationship was
This is such an underrated concept and I love it. So many romance stories are about a super tall guy with a teeny tiny girl. Wish more animes (or fiction in general) would show more realistic and average bodies.
@@hunbi1875 Ah I think there a lot more short men and tall girls out there in the world than you give credit for. And by "average bodies" I was also referring to maybe showing anime characters with idk bigger noses, bigger thighs, smaller eyes, etc. Look around you, the average person does not look like your typical anime character.
I love how it doesn't only focuses on the struggles on having crush and love but it shows it's ups and downs Like the struggles of being in high school, the struggles of going into university, the pain of misunderstandings, Long distance relationship, Jealousy and other struggles They even show how the protagonists finds her new passion and future career
I love this show so much..it just shows that height can play with how people see you as a person a lot. I’m a tall girl myself and felt a connection between myself and the protagonist. It’s somewhat rare to find shows like this, but I’m glad I did
To be honest i thought it was going to be a cute little love story, with some nagging on the side but turns out it was just a bunch of drama. Like i get it, life isn't easy but in the beginning everything pointed into the direction, of them genuinely liking each other, more than they wanted to admit and working things out by solving external problems and overcoming their own insecurities. But then all of a sudden it felt like a forced guy, trying to convince himself to love somebody, while still being insecure and not letting go of the past and a desperate women, who dislikes herself and thinks she will end up alone.. As if the writer shortly changed the direction. Their issues were dragged for a way too long time, so that the end result wasn't really satisfying and the protagonist who started off strong, seemed so weak in the end. The friend got too involved, so much so, that you assume she was the main character and then this weird side story with the teacher. Sadly it ended up being messy. But it unfortunately happens to a bunch of shows these days..
Yeahhhhh, I love the series but what I don’t love is the message that if someone rejects you, do not give up on pursuing them cause one day they might say yes. Like that is a terrible message in real life that could lead to a bloody restraining order instead of romance.
nah fr. I love this anime but that bit js bothered me. Like they blamed him for Koizomi’s sadness bc he rejected her??? Like since when was rejecting nd not returning romantic feelings to someone a crime? 💀💀💀 like they wrong for that
The protagonist reminded me of my past😂 . In 2018, i was in love with a guy who was both younger and shorter than me but he was smarter than me and his personality and eyes had captured my hrt so I had confessed to him. He never said yes but didn't say no either and kept talking to me so I had taken it as a positive thing. Then, COVID pandemic happened and we were forced to stop seeing each other so we used to talk via messenger, day and night, 24/7 there was nothing that he didn't know about me but he never disclosed anything about him. He was introvert and i knew it so i thought maybe i should give him a little time, he did tell me that his father and mother weren't in good terms and some family issues and I had consoled him too. Then COVID pandemic came to an end and his behavior also changed, he was being rude and even though I tried to let this slide, his behavior had completely changed so without saying anything to him, I deactivated my account and he never messaged me even once or called me in 2 months, i thought maybe he was busy with college admissions and family issues so again, i had to brk the ice and msg him 1st, to which i was accostomed to by the time and he told me he had got into the most prestigious college of our country, I was so happy for him, we had met that day after of a long time and i remember he had kissed me for the 1st time that day, it was my 1 st kiss and i was so flustered! But then he left saying he has things to do, i understood as he was gonna get busy with his studies and stuff but after that day he again started to behave rudely and kept on humiliating me for no reason, he was my first love and i was so naive and innocent, i had really wanted to marry him so i kept tolerating. One day he out of the blue told me that he really was never in love with me, he was nerd so he never got any girl who was ready to do anything for him so once he saw me, he just couldn't refuse me and even though he never loved me, he loved how much i was in love with him and that was precisely the reason why he had never told me the truth up until now. I was shocked cz I wasted 5 years of my life on someone who didn't even love me and used my energy effort time and love for him. I still tried to pursue him,i was going through terrible family issues at that time and he knew it but he still decided to tell me all that at that time and even though he knew it would shatter me completely, he just didn't care and told me i was making things up to keep him with me and that my family issues were none of his business, i was left speechless cz i was there when his parents almost got divorced and bow , my dad was on the death bed and he didn't care, neither about me nor about what his words will mean to me ! I had begged him not to leave me, i was completely infatuated and I really didn't know what to do, i was ready to completely change for his sake to his liking, i was ready to sacrifice everything, even my career but he firmly told me not to do any of these and just to leave, i couldn't bear it anymore so i finally left. 5 years of love broke my heart and he didn't even care. I got a lot of proposals from different guys who were talented and handsome but I can't love anybody anymore. I neither love nor hate him today though, i kinda healed myself i guess as for him, immediately after he dumped me, he went on to have a relationship with someone else and now he is with someone else actually. I don't know what he wants whether he loved anyone of those girls or anything but i let him go and whatever he does is none of my business anymore. He did wish me birthday this year though which he never did during the 5 years we still were in touch which did shock me, turns out he just didn't have any girl at that time so he wanted to be with me , that day I realized how pathetic of a man he was and i was crying for this man, so i firmly refused, finally came to my senses and unfriended him from every social media accounts that i owned. It's been 2/4 months that i have been completely out of touch with him and have kinda sobered up though I sometimes do come in face to face with him as we live in the same neighborhood but neither of us talk or look, we act as if we don't know each other and he doesn't even seem to care about me as he has a gf now😂 but yeah, i still can't love anyone, I don't feel those emotions anymore. I have decided that I'll have a arrange marriage cz the love of my life (or so i thought) drained me out of love😅 no hate though, i pray that one day he'll go through the exact same thing that he had put me through and only then will he understand how it actually feels.
The opposite of love is not hate. It's indifference. If you're not honestly yet at the point of indifference, do not marry. You will just hurt your husband. He will be able to feel it even if you never tell. No man deserves to marry an alpha widow. You'll just punish him for the mistakes of the guy who did you wrong. If you can love the wrong person this much, imagine how much more you can love the right one. Look forward to that. The strongest amongst us are the ones who are able to bounce back and love greater no matter what life throws at us. Don't let a nasty bastard rob you of the gift of real love. Don't let him win and make a permanent scar on you. Your real love is waiting for you in the future and he deserves nothing but the best you. You can do it! Heal and love again.
For the future i hope you learned to not run desperately after people. If they say no the first time, move on. Don't question these things, nor cry for them for so long. You are complete on your own already. A relationship is an addition to your life not your main life content, always remember that. God bless you.
I reread this manga every single year. It stands the test of time. The romance is sweet and tugs at your heartstrings. But the comedy , the comedy is top notch!!! To me this stands above the romance mangas.
Very cute anime. And it happened around the time I went through a similar relationship. Freshman year I still had not hit my growth spurt, and I stood at 4'11". Well, the girl I was hanging with and eventually dated was 5'7". We were both class clowns and kind of wild, so it seemed like a matchmade in heaven. Honestly though, it did bother me due to our peers constantly making fun of me. I broke it off a year later and ended up dating a girl even shorter than me and I think it really broke her heart. Sometimes I think back if I didn't let my classmates get to me, if we could have gone steady for a long time. This anime kind of brings of regrets, but its very nostalgic for me. Reminds me of all the fun I had with her freshman year.
One of my favorite animes I love it ❤ After seeing this, I realize there was alot of pressure to hook up with a guy or girl, like pressure to become couples because everyone else was in a relationship
Part of me hated how nosy her friends were, but at same time, I know 100% they wouldn't be a couple if they didn't. They are both visual types, only focused on fun things in front of them, not romance. But I know her friends are thinking she may struggle in college/jobs if she doesnt persue a good match they all trust, instead of bad guys. Though i laugh cuz the ugly faces always made me go, xD hahaha but also like "not cute". Which I think is funny after fireworks scene they stop adding in so many. It sorta like the first half is how Risa sees people/herself. An after scene it how he sees everyone. An so Risa starts looking ubber cute.
I think this is really well made, but would also work better if "the protagonist" was referred to by name, in the future! It would make it more relatable to follow! ❤️
I watched the anime and read the manga!! The things i like about this series are: 1. The comedy is actually VERY FUNNY. I dont usually laugh on comedy anime but i have to admit this is really a comedy gold 😭 2. A real friend to lover trope!! I also love how we really do watch they growing, it's like we see our children lol. Other thing i like is how they change their hairstyle and clothes on every episode!! Haha 3. The manga art style!! Is really pretty and, i dont know why but it looks so modern omg its really good for a older manga There are lots of things i dont like that much about this series but overall i like it!! Such a comfort series
I used to love this anime when I was younger, but as I re-watched it a few years later I started feeling bad for Ootani. He honestly did not seem to have any interest in her if not for the author suddenly flipping on the switch for him.
Why does animation style remind me of Luffy and of one piece😅... These types of animation styles oddly enough have more background animation than standard animations now 🤔 I can't be the only one seeing some of this
it was actually kinda sad i cried idk why bcz he couldnt date her and all .. but i calmed down afterwards, i really love this anime 😍 its so real hahah
Lovely Complex is by far in my top 5 anime list! 😊 I recommend this to any slice of life fans or anyone into romcom anime. It’s such a cute, angsty, and pretty realistic journey of reluctant friends becoming lovers (I don’t consider them enemies, cause they still got along despite the insults they threw at each other 🤷🏽♀️).
Risa and Otani's homeroom teacher calls them "All Hanshin Kyojin" which was a comedy team where one was tall and one was short and in seeing them engaging in funny arguments and trading insults. I love this series, too. Even with their size differences, Risa and Otani were so compatible in their personalities in being class clowns and being big fans of hip hop star Umibozu. Lots of funny gags and facial reactions, touching romance, and likable characters. Thought the last couple of episodes felt rushed, especially with the introduction of tall rival fashion model and Otani's neighbor Mimi and Kohori the short dude working at the restaurant with a crush on Risa who was working a part time job there,...I wish the show would get a second season for a better pace in the romance. Still a wonderful story.
It’s crazy how much Risa towers over her classmates and she’s only 5”7. I’m the same height as her and it’s funny because i don’t even feel that tall and I don’t feel like the height difference between my peers and I is that significant
Like if you are a short guy who likes tall girls!
is 6ft still short tho?😭😭😭
...
What if im a tall girl who prefers short guys?
This is stupid 5'2😂🤦🤦
Gotta drop my like. Standing at a menacing/staggering 5’5(165.1cm)
One of the rare shows where the MCs make fun of, fight with, and hit each other equally instead of thr guy being a punching bag for his love interest
YESSS
Most of the protagonist are perverts that's why they get hit
@@BratzSasha-qt5kf😂😆🤣
In Shoujo manga it’s actually the other way around. Shy/bland/sweet female mc and toxic male love interest.
But that’s the thing they aren’t bad it’s just the girls always put them in situations that make them look bad and it’s quite annoying
Nobuko must've had back pain for a long time, for carrying those 2 dorks' relationship throughout the entirety of the series.
Seriously!!! You are NOT Wrong about that! Lmaooo
Her and Nakao lol
I am just happy that the female lead changes her hairstyle often. Which i didn't noticed in other animes.🤩🤩
IDK why, but Risa's facial expressions crack me up!🤣

HELP LOL THE TEACHER JOINED HIS OWN FAN CLUB 34:57
I can't stop crying of how funny and beautiful it is 😭
I watched the anime and read the manga!! The things i like about this series are:
1. The comedy is actually VERY FUNNY. I dont usually laugh on comedy anime but i have to admit this is really a comedy gold 😭
2. A real friend to lover trope!! I also love how we really do watch they growing, it's like we see our children lol. Other thing i like is how they change their hairstyle and clothes on every episode!! Haha
3. The manga art style!! Is really pretty and, i dont know why but it looks so modern omg its really good for a older manga
There are lots of things i dont like that much about this series but overall i like it!! Such a comfort series
20:40 uhhh they are getting mad at him just because he's staying true to his feelings???
I used to love this anime when I was younger, but as I re-watched it a few years later I started feeling bad for Ootani. He honestly did not seem to have any interest in her if not for the author suddenly flipping on the switch for him.
Mehhh I feel like he did have interest in her
@@christinadavinci6437 But not in a romantic way
I feel like it's always seems a bit like that when friends become lovers. Seems to come from them not realising they have feelings.
in the manga it’s shown more obviously that he does like her but they cut out a lot of stuff in the anime
Read the manga then, it was shown that he became jealous to anyone who show affection to her: Maity, Haruka, Kohori, even Seiko😂
So many anime are about "what do I do with my feelings!?"
It was refreshing to have "what do WE do with OUR feelings!?" Instead
I miss this show and I can’t find it anywhere 😢. Thank you for uploading this.
Try to google Aniwave, they should have Lovely complex the full series
Lovely Complex is one of my all time favorites
I loved it. Great narration, great anime. Perfrct combo.
damn 39:50 why did yall have to play that song. that theme brings me to tears everytime
Ok so can i get a song name??
@@basorexiaB3Bon Voyage - One Piece OP Rock Version
“Folever” got me crying 😂😂😂
"cute and doesnt feel like a man" the emotional damage is real 😭
I love this anime despite of its flaws, it was fun I remembered I binge watch and finished it in two days
Even the teachers or know what they doing they’re setting students up to be couples🤦🏾♀️
Anime is called Lovely complex.
Used to watch it with my sister when we were kids
its a hilarious show and i highly recommend it.
14:45 Damn I feel the same brain cells of Otani of not knowing what other people are talking about by giving a good hint to him.
This is one of the anime that made me fall in love with Japanese media. This is still one of my favorite.
I remember watching this cuz my young cousin watched it. Each episode made me laugh good 😂
Why does animation style remind me of Luffy and of one piece😅... These types of animation styles oddly enough have more background animation than standard animations now 🤔 I can't be the only one seeing some of this
Even the main girl are get voiced by Nami's voice actress.
It's the same studio
I pray for a relationship not as complicated as this 😭🙏
I cant believe I just watched that whole 56 minute amine explanation.
I can see that this anime is the reason anime exists. Showing the raw human emotions and feelings like they are.
The resemblance between this and Toradora is uncanny yet welcomed.
Now this is the true line of "The More You Hate, The More You Love."
Wish they’d remake this
it was actually kinda sad i cried idk why bcz he couldnt date her and all .. but i calmed down afterwards, i really love this anime 😍 its so real hahah
I forgot how good this show was
He's in the wrong genre, he's so dense that he could be a shonen anime protagonist.
Lovely Complex is by far in my top 5 anime list! 😊 I recommend this to any slice of life fans or anyone into romcom anime. It’s such a cute, angsty, and pretty realistic journey of reluctant friends becoming lovers (I don’t consider them enemies, cause they still got along despite the insults they threw at each other 🤷🏽♀️).
the dude seems like the definition of a day late and a dollar short
10/10 on story, 5/10 on background music
Risa and Otani's homeroom teacher calls them "All Hanshin Kyojin" which was a comedy team where one was tall and one was short and in seeing them engaging in funny arguments and trading insults. I love this series, too. Even with their size differences, Risa and Otani were so compatible in their personalities in being class clowns and being big fans of hip hop star Umibozu. Lots of funny gags and facial reactions, touching romance, and likable characters. Thought the last couple of episodes felt rushed, especially with the introduction of tall rival fashion model and Otani's neighbor Mimi and Kohori the short dude working at the restaurant with a crush on Risa who was working a part time job there,...I wish the show would get a second season for a better pace in the romance. Still a wonderful story.
Best romance story of all time
this is school romance done right!!! i wish there were other shows that did romance and comedy this well!
I watched thjthis anime and it has got to be one of my fav shoujos.
bro looks like Nami from one piece lol
Fr
the tall girl has the same VA as Nami
Finally a recap with a perfect ending 😎
This goes to show that you do not give up
It’s crazy how much Risa towers over her classmates and she’s only 5”7. I’m the same height as her and it’s funny because i don’t even feel that tall and I don’t feel like the height difference between my peers and I is that significant
This show if kind of a breath of fresh air for romance anime imo
I love this anime because it shows how confusing young love is which is very true
