The manga that shows that love isn’t about size, it’s about bravery, Love Com sees Risa nursing a broken heart after being rejected by Otani. Where does the comedy duo go from here?

Rejected, Risa is ready to throw in the towel. She just wants things to go back to the way they were if she can’t have anything else with the guy she loves. But a chance meeting with her music idol Umibozu gets her singing a different tune. Fired up not to give up, she decides she’ll win over the lil’ hot stuff in the slow and steady race for his heart. She has some stiff competition up ahead though. It seems his ex has broken up with her boyfriend and is looking to reconnect. To be his friend or the girl’s rival… Risa is in a catch 22!

She’s having a hard time trying to be the supportive friend while trying to steadily remind him she’s waiting for him to come to his senses. There’re Christmas parties, the duo being locked up in a locker, and Valentines Day, all to either help bring them closer, or throw them apart! What’s interesting though is that we know she loves him. But how does he feel about her? With each of these events, it seems that his rejection wasn’t a straight up one. He’s ambivalent, confused and apparently can’t put two and two together to get to the four that everyone else in the manga has. All their friends know these two are perfect for each other. So what if he’s short and she’s super tall? Love is love!

For more fun, the manga has bonus character profile pages of the main cast and a glossary.


IN SUMMARY:
The manga where love knows no bounds…or a measuring tape!
