The story revolves around a topic that really does bother a lot of people, height. So it was really cute to see a couple not care about it, or even try to work past it to find out that together they have a lot in common. SPOILERS: Otani wants to appear manly despite his height, which means he can be a real ass and as some stories go that's what cool looks like. bleh. Risa and Otani fight CONSTANTLY and at first it makes complete sense, but as time goes on Risa is the only one that really starts to change and work past constant insults. Otani, continues to be an asshole and Risa has to just forgive and forget. Notice how often she has to apologize for over reacting when Otani struggles to comprehend wtf he should. There were moments they addressed things like "Wow you didn't believe your own girlfriend but you believed a stranger?" but this is followed by Risa having to apologize because even though Otani did do something shitty, she was wrong about something that barely is considered relevant.
Risa spends all of her time, life, and energy swooning over Otani, especially once they get together. She is his personal cheerleader. The favor does not get returned and we even find out as much as Risa is struggling, Otani is thriving and not really talking to people about the fact that he has a girlfriend. Ouch.
There's a lot of Risa talking about how Otani is her life, her power source, ect. And we never see that on Otani's side but every blue moon as he has to be struggling with how manly and dumb he is, all in all it was fun at first, but as many of these types of stories, the girl has to be extremely forgiving and her life has to revolve around the boy she loves, and it was well.... It was meh. Nice try, Lovely Complex. He did a few things right, you had a great start, you had a trans person that you accepted as a girl but couldn't quite wrap your mind around how to interact with that concept. It's cool tho, you're not just not meant for me. Let's break up, k?
