[Manga] Lovely Complex PLUS: lovely ending to a not so complex series~

Wahhh~ Didn't get enough of Lovely Complex? No worries! There's the Lovely Complex Plus special edition series talking about what Otani and Koizumi was like in middle school~

In the Plus series, because the main characters have not met yet... to tie the story together a new character was introduced! Yoshi, is a basketball playing, UmiBouza-loving guy who transfers through many schools due to his parents' jobs. And so in first year middle school he attended the school that Otani and Nakaochii was in and was part of the basketball club together... but then he had to move to another place before the year is up and ended up transferring to Koizumi's school in second year~ ;) he is also the reason why both Otani and Koizumi love UmiBouza~ (nice tie in author! *thumbs up*)

Yuki, the transfer student~ (O.O;) at the T-shirt....

The second part of the Plus special, talked about how Otani and Koizumi serendipitously met up at a UmiBouza concert without knowing each other yet~ a very cute story plot here~ <3

And the last part takes us back to the present and 4 months after their graduation from high school~ Having a reunion during summer holidays~ and pointing out how every seems the same as they were in high school but has also changed a little (well.. it's only 4 months... not THAT long~) nice chapter here too~

Quite sad to see the real end to this manga~ Q.Q I don't think I've so enthusiastically gone through a whole manga series like this for a long time now~ (except Usagi Drop... but different to Lovely complex... I felt utterly disappointed there... >:() Anyways, might check out the anime for this~ just to listen to their Kansai accent~ XD and the live action movie also looks interesting too~ (^-<)y

[Manga] Lovely complex: thoughts after completion

Love this tall girl, short guy couple story~ (o^-^o) for once I could see myself in a shoujo manga story~ XD

However at some point the arcs in the storyline was getting quite predictable...
- The rival arc: Mimi the tall girl ---> Kohori the short guy
- The rescue arc: Save Koizumi (from the hostess) --> Save Otani (from Hazuka's girlfriends)

Why did it always have to complement each other? O.O;

Anyways, apparently there's also the "lovely complex PLUS" chapters~ shall catch up on that soon too~ XD muwahahahaha~

Otani and Koizumi~ <3

More detailed thoughts and rants (after the jump~)

[Manga] Lovely complex: a story of sabi and bonbi

I stumbled across this manga while looking for couple cosplaying ideas for Halloween..... I could not believe it! The main characters' height difference is exactly the same as me and hubby! o.O These characters overlap with us in real life sooo much!! @-@; I'm really glad that someone's actually written the comedy and awkwardness that a tall girl short guy couple has to go through.... :3 And funny enough.... bonbi and I are more of a comedy couple just like the characters rather than to act all lovely dovey towards each other~ 

sabi and bonbi.... um.. i mean koizumi and otani
