Synopsis
Lovely★Complex (2007) is a Japanese romantic comedy anime you can watch online on iFILM. Risa Koizumi shot up to 172 centimeters, Atsushi Otani stopped at 156, and their classmates treat the mismatched pair as a walking comedy act.
Both are hunting for romance, both keep striking out over their height, so they team up to set each other up with the people they actually like. The matchmaking flops in every direction — and slowly the two realize the spark they keep engineering is between them. Cue bickering in thick Kansai dialect, botched confessions and a stubborn refusal to make the first move.
Adapted from Aya Nakahara's manga and directed by Konosuke Uda, it's a rare rom-com where the funny and the tender pull equal weight, with leads who squabble like real teenagers. Great for anyone burned out on saccharine first-love stories. Stream every episode of Lovely★Complex online on iFILM.
