Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a Japanese romantic comedy manga series written and illustrated by Aya Nakahara. It was published by Shueisha in Bessatsu Margaret from 2001 to 2007, with its chapters collected in 17 Script error: No such module "lang". volumes. The series is about the romance between a tall girl and a short boy who are treated as a comedy duo by their classmates.
The story has been adapted as a live-action film released in 2006, a 24-episode anime television series broadcast in 2007, and an adventure game released for PlayStation 2 released in 2006. Two drama CDs have also been produced. The manga and the live-action film were licensed in North America by Viz Media. The anime series was later licensed by Discotek Media, who also re-licensed the live-action film.
Two spin-off stories, Love Com Deluxe (published in Deluxe Margaret in 2009) and Love Com Two (published in Betsuma Two in 2012), were collected in a single volume in 2012.
In 2004, Love Com received the 49th Shogakukan Manga Award for the Script error: No such module "lang". category.
Plot
Love Com is a love story between a boy and girl in Sakai, Osaka. The girl, Risa Koizumi, is 172 centimetres (5 ft 8 in) tall—much taller than the average Japanese girl. The boy, Atsushi Ōtani, is 156 cm (5 ft 1 in)—way below the height of the average Japanese boy. Because of this, the pair are called the "All Hanshin Kyojin" after a popular comedy duo that has a similar height difference.
During summer break, a tall student named Ryouji Suzuki (from another class) shows up and Risa immediately falls for him because he is tall. There is a girl that Atsushi likes as well, so Risa and Atsushi decide to put aside their differences and help each other get their love interests. Their efforts fail spectacularly as Suzuki and the girl whom Ōtani had a crush on, Chiharu Tanaka, end up becoming a couple. All is not lost though, since Risa and Ōtani become close friends. As they get to know each other better, Risa's feelings for Atsushi begin to grow, and her love life gets complicated from there on.

Love Com was adapted into a live action film, directed by Kitaji Ishikawa with screenplay by Osamu Suzuki. It starred Ema Fujisawa as Risa Koizumi and Teppei Koike as Atsushi Ōtani. It was released in theaters on 15 July 2006 and on DVD on 1 January 2007.
An English-subtitled DVD was released in North America by Viz Media on 19 February 2008.[36] In January 2024, Discotek Media announced that they had licensed the film, and it is set to be released on Blu-ray in March of the same year.[37]
Anime
The anime television series was produced by Toei Animation and directed by Konosuke Uda, with music by Hironosuke Sato and character designs by Hideaki Maniwa.[38] The opening theme songs were Script error: No such module "Nihongo". by Tegomass (episodes 1–13) and "Hey! Say!" by Hey! Say! 7 (episodes 14–24); the ending themes were Script error: No such module "Nihongo". by Tegomass (episodes 1–13) and "Bon Bon" by Hey!

In April 2012, Discotek Media announced that they will distribute the Love Com anime on DVD in North America in one subtitled boxset,[40] which was released on 16 July 2013. In October 2023, Discotek Media announced during a livestream that it will receive an English dub produced by Sound Cadence Studios for the first time,[5] and it was released on Blu-ray on 30 January 2024.[41] The staff for the localization garnered controversy when writer Brendan Blaber wrote on his Patreon account that he hated the original show, criticized its writing and voice acting, and changed the script and character personalities in an attempt to make the show "watchable." He also claimed they re-wrote transphobic parts of the show. Discotek Media stated they would no longer work with Blaber as a result of his admittance of this, though also explained the changes by stating dubs often "punch up the comedy" of anime and that all changes that went through were approved by the show's original producers.[42][43][44]
