Love Com Vol. 17 (Lovely Complex)
The Long and the Short of First Love
Risa Koizumi is the tallest girl in class, and the last thing she wants is the humiliation of standing next to Atsushi Ôtani, the shortest guy. Fate and the whole school have other ideas, and the two find themselves cast as the unwilling stars of a bizarre romantic comedy duo.
The comedy duo eventually evolved into a couple, but the pair had some growing pains to deal with before they met in junior high school…and before they were introduced to their other love, the music of Umibôzu! Plus: join the gang at the beach to see what they’re up to after graduation!
