Height is never a hindrance
We all have our own preferences
in love. Some say that love is blind, there are no boundaries when you’re in
love or that age doesn’t matter in love. How about height? Does height matter
when you’re in love?
There’s an anime wherein the girl
is as tall as many guys at her school and a boy short or rather the same height
as many girls. Yes, folks LOVELY COMPLEX!
Risa Koizumi, taller than the
average girl, and Atsushi Ootani, shorter than the 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, lots of jokes about
one another's height. But when Risa notices her feelings for Ootani growing,
she's 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.
In contrast to the story Hiyokoi
is about a girl shorter than most girls and a guy taller than most boys yet
these two fell in love despite their huge height difference.
Hiyori Nishiyama is a 15-year-old
girl who is extremely shy and short. After being hospitalized for a year, due
to a car accident, she starts going to high school as a freshman, along with
her best friend Ritsuka. In her class there is a boy who is very tall and seems
to have a lot of friends. His name is Yuushin Hirose and becomes Hiyori's friend
(even if at the beginning Hiyori is not very happy with his habits). After an
accident where her panties were shown to the class, she starts making friends
and falls in love with Yuushin, but due to her shyness, she does not know how
to confess to him.
So yeah, height doesn't matter when you're in love, sure we have our own ideals on our partners but soon we'll just see how much different it goes once we truly love a person different from our expectations. :)
