Love★Com

ラブ★コン

Lovely★Complex

Two classmates who hate being treated as a pair end up making a pact. Risa Koizumi is 172 cm. Atsushi Ôtani is 156 cm. At their school in Sakai, Osaka, that gap makes them a running joke. Classmates call them by the name of a real comedy duo with a similar mismatch in height. The dialogue is almost all Kansai dialect. Their truce starts over summer break. Risa has fallen for a tall boy in another class and Ôtani likes a girl of his own. Helping each other beats fighting. Short as he is, Ôtani is the basketball team's best player. His blunt manner hides a kind streak. Scheming together slowly changes how Risa sees him. Expect plenty of comedy and a long, bumpy road to romance. It suits shojo readers who like couples that clash before they blush.
