Risa Koizumi, taller than an average girl, and Atsushi Ootani, shorter than an average guy — their constant bickering and comical love-hate relationship is well-known throughout the school. They act similarly and love the same music, and their friendship is full of laughing, shouting at each other, and of course, joking about each other’’s height. But when Risa notices her feelings for Ootani growing, she got worried. She doesn’t know if he can ever see her as more than a friend. With her friends rooting for her, she struggles to make him see how she feels about him, and that a romantic relationship between a tall girl and a short guy can work. Oblivious Ootani doesn’t make things easy for her, but she stubbornly perseveres in her own unconventional way, determined for her feelings to get through to him, and finally be returned. If only she could do it without driving herself and everyone else crazy in the process…

How I love this anime so much. One of it it’s because Johnny’s Entertainment were on it and the anime itself. It basically a Romance-Comedy and it has a Kansai dialect in the whole story. You can actually feel how Kansai people treat each other. It has a good drawing and plot.It’s based on a High School ofe, how to be in love and how to find the guy right for you, In this case the protagonist fell in love on the guy she despise because of his height and his irritating teasing. But because he is gentle and kind, she slowly falls for him. For the guy. he has the same intention. He doesn’t like her. He is a person who is thick headed and doesn’t feel that a person has feelings for him. So Risa, the protagonists tried her best to let him show how she feels until he realized on what she feels about him. It did took a while for Ootani to understand, he is determined to stop Risa to stop falling for him at the end, he went and fall instead. Their love path is pretty comedic. They always fight. And at one scene where Ootani took the test and all of Risa’s friends saw that Ootani was sad, they thought that he failed, so she tried to find him and saw him in the skyway (a walking place above where the cars go). And Risa hurriedlly runs towards him and shocks him. I love how the reaction of Risa is shown,plus the audio of her voice, can’t seem to get over that scene.

In conclusion, I can say that is pretty different, wherein all of the characters speak Kansai-ben and the romance-comedy is really shown. Watch it for yourself and tell me on what you think *smile*.

“Taller than average+smaller than average=Comedic Love”
