Lovely Complex (LabuCom)

Description on AnimeDB.net

Thank you, Lovely Complex! I get my LabuCom fix from the [KissSub] fansubbing group. You have come to my rescue when I needed a super light and super funny anime this season. The two main characters fight so much that the sparks start to fly. And the accents--how I love hearing those accents. I think the voice actors are fun to listen to as well. So it's shoujo--who cares as long as it's good?

The story carries on with the main heroine "giant" (Koizumi) trying to get her feeling across to a dense "halfling" (Ootani) and crashing and burning until even her helpful friends begin to consider him lost cause. Some good situations malfunction when ill-timed mistakes are made and the couple's friendship turns rocky. You end up rooting for them because having them separated won't be as fun or as funny. Upbeat and full of dramatic and funny anime moments, I wish there were more of this series.

Enjoy the upbeat theme song and the ending song that isn't bad in its own right. It's a high school romance comedy that won't bore you.

Bonus Manga Information:

I'm even reading the manga online. n_n* ureshii~

It began as a few episodes of anime. Then it picked up speed by reading scanlated manga. Then it spiraled into reading raw scans of kansaiben until the final panel ended the story.

But wait--There was more:

Aya Nakahara

I just finished reading Lovely Complex Plus by Nakahara Aya, which are three chapters that include some prequel stories for the main two characters, Koizumi Risa and Ootani Atsushi, and also their fateful first meeting. And I mean FIRST.

I just hated for it to end, like any story I like. But it had to. O-WA-RI !

As of now, trying to track down raw scans of the first 5 volumes (ochibichan knows my weakness: irc), and watching the anime fansubbed by KissSubs.

I'm looking for scans of the Nakahara Aya's other works, too. Hopefully she'll release a new series soon.
