Love Com
Love Com (Japanese: ラブ★コン, Hepburn: Rabu★Kon; stylized as Love★Com, abbreviated for Lovely Complex) is a Japanese romantic comedy manga series written and illustrated by Aya Nakahara. It was published by Shueisha in Bessatsu Margaret from 2001 to 2007, with its chapters collected in 17 tankōbon volumes. The series is about the romance between a tall girl and a short boy who are treated as a comedy duo by their classmates.
The story has been adapted as a live-action film released in 2006, a 24-episode anime television series broadcast in 2007, and an adventure game released for PlayStation 2 released in 2006. Two drama CDs have also been produced. The manga and the live-action film were licensed in North America by Viz Media. The anime series was later licensed by Discotek Media, who also re-licensed the live-action film.
Two spin-off stories, Love Com Deluxe (published in Deluxe Margaret in 2009) and Love Com Two (published in Betsuma Two in 2012), were collected in a single volume in 2012.
In 2004, Love Com received the 49th Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōjo category.
Love Com is a love story between a boy and a girl in Sakai, Osaka. The girl, Risa Koizumi, is 172 centimetres (5 ft 8 in) tall—much taller than the average Japanese girl. The boy, Atsushi Ōtani, is 156 cm (5 ft 1 in)—way below the height of the average Japanese boy. Because of this, the pair are called the "All Hanshin Kyojin" after a popular comedy duo that has a similar height difference.
During summer school, a very tall student named Ryouji Suzuki (from another class) shows up and Risa immediately falls for him because he is tall. There is a girl that Atsushi likes as well, so Risa and Atsushi decide to put aside their differences and help each other get their love interests. Their efforts fail spectacularly as Suzuki and the girl whom Ōtani had a crush on, Chiharu Tanaka, end up becoming a couple. All is not lost though, since Risa and Ōtani become close friends. As they get to know each other better, Risa's feelings for Atsushi begin to blossom, and her love life gets complicated from there on.
According to the afterword of volume 6, Ōtani ("big valley") was going to be named Nakatani ("middle valley"), but Aya Nakahara changed her mind because naka was "too middlin." Almost all of the characters speak in Kansai dialect.
Written and illustrated by Aya Nakahara, Love Com was serialized in Shueisha's shōjo manga magazine Bessatsu Margaret from 11 August 2001 to 13 November 2006. Additional chapters, released under the title Love Com Plus (ラブ★コン プラス), were published in the same magazine from 13 March to 12 May 2007; a final chapter, released as Love Com Final (ラブ★コン ファイナル), was published in the same magazine on 11 August of that same year. Shueisha collected its chapters in 17 tankōbon volumes, released from 25 March 2002 to 25 September 2007.
