Based on the bestselling comic by Aya Nakahara Love☆Com The Movie is a
high-school romantic comedy centering on two students. 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. But as their friendship develops, so do Risa's feelings toward Ôtani. The English version of the manga series is currently available under VIZ Media’s SHOJO BEAT imprint.
