Koizumi Risa, current height 170 cm. Her last name is translated to "small river". A girl taller than most other girls her age. Otani Atsushi, current height 156 cm. His last name is translated to "big valley". A guy way below the average height of a high school boy. Because this, they had bad blood towards each other. Later on, Koizumi Risa and Otani Atsushi start relying and helping each other with their own love affairs. As love failed for the both of them, a bond of friendship was formed. Along the bumpy (and comedic) road of friendship, Koizumi Risa fell in love with Otani Atsushi!

I really love this rom-com story <3
Its plot is really different from any romantic anime (the popular guy meets a not-so popular girl). When I think about how the female protagonist (Risa) manage not to give up her feelings to Otani, oh my g! You nailed it girl. It's all worth it. Well, Otani is worth fighting for! If you want to laugh at the same time want to feel love and feel the pain of loving someone, this is a story to watch :)
By the way, you can also read the manga to see more of otani and risa moments.
