Synopsis:
Lovely★Complex centers on Risa Koizumi and Atsushi Ootani, two high school students navigating the complexities of romance while grappling with their own insecurities about finding a partner. Koizumi, notably tall for her age, and Ootani, significantly shorter than his peers, face challenges not only from societal expectations but also from the unexpected romantic interests of each other. Their unusual dynamic leads to them being perceived as a comedic duo within their school environment.
As they support each other’s pursuit of love, Koizumi and Ootani discover surprising common ground in music and fashion. The series explores themes of self-acceptance, friendship, and the potential for connection beyond superficial differences. It presents a gentle, character-driven narrative focusing on personal growth and the evolving nature of relationships within a contemporary high school setting, offering a relatable portrayal of navigating first loves and finding acceptance.
