Determined to find new love after their recent misfortunes, the pair decide to cheer each other on while maintaining their usual dynamic of constant bickering.
Although they continually deny it, Risa and Ootani are more similar than they like to admit: they both have unusual heights, failing grades, identical tastes in food, and a tendency to act extremely childish. Together, they inspire laughter among their peers as a so-called comedic duo. Could the love that these two are looking for be closer than they think?

I found myself liking this manga a lot, and I'm usually very picky with mangas. When I first saw this, I thought it would be another shoujo manga with a third wheel, a clumsy girl and a cool guy, with the additional unique feature that it had a tall girl and a short boy. I thought that their differences in height would be the main focus which would eventually get boring, but i was very much wrong! It's such a light manga without the annoying drama that I love it! It's become my favourite manga because I hate overcomplicated plots. Also, Otani is the kind of guy that is sweet but doesn't like to show it, which is my favourite kind. Risa isn't naive and annoying, which is usually what many shoujo mangas portray. I'm really happy because of that. I'm just waiting for the whole thing to come out, then I'm thinking of reading it over again
Otani x Risa forever!!!!

At first, when I started the manga, I was totally against Otani - saying stuff like, "He's a meanie!!", "He's short!!!" or maybe "Risa go for Haruka!!!" aloud (it totally annoyed my brother) - the reason being his height. I know, I know, its a mean thing to do. I'm as tall as Risa and so I was really pro her finding someone better. But as the manga progressed, I eventually forgot about the height difference, forgot all about Otani's flaws, and forgot how Risa deserved someone better. I was actually cheering her on!!! I couldn't help but go, "Go Risa!!"!!!
I have one thing to say - Yay for breaking stereotypes!!! I could've never imagined myself accepting this dysfunctional relationship. But, now I'm happy to state that "Duh, Love just happens. You can't help it."
I also found another thing very intriguing - the mangaka never once forced Otani upon the readers. She didn't even state Otani to be Risa's type or vice-versa. Their relationship (its so adorable!!! I awwwwww-ed so many times!! And the way Otani acts with her is SOOOO cute...awwwww), the way it grew upon me, I hardly took notice. And of course, the way their friend's never once objected to this strange couple and in fact pushed them to be together was definitely nice.
And how can I forget the laughs I'm totally pro funny anime/manga which is another reason why I was so taken by this manga.
I can't wait for more chapters to come!!
And Otani is super cute!!! I love him!! Even if he's short!!

I really really love Lovely Complex, although I didn't really like the ending XD It wasn't really good. However, the overall manga is just IMPRESSIVE. <3
