Yeah, Misuzu's costumer service was good, but Carol's, theres the good stuff.

every restaurant should offer cake.

So money really is the key to unlocking Misuzu's true potential. Ergo, she'd be ideal paired up with, say, an aspiring business owner of a successful food service establishment :thunk:

It's a little bit of both. Tomo's about as tall as some of the boys in class. I think she might be taller than What His Name.

This was always my favorite thing about Lovely Complex. That this monstrously tall girl was 5'6". Tomo's probably a little bit taller than that since there's less difference between her and Jun than there was between Risa and Suzuki.

I think my favorite version of that was the enormous giant how is he so tall Kanji Tatsumi getting an official height in Persona 4 Arena of..... 180cm/5'11. I always pictured him as like 6'5 but I forgot about the Japan factor.

Man I've tried to read that like 3 times because it sounds like my poo poo but it starts sooooooo sloooooow. Are the starting chapters what it's always like or does it pick up steam?

It does pick up steam once more than 4 characters are in play, and even more once they go and finally do the drat thing, but:

This is one of the few times where is actually say this is a valid workaround. It's a very accurate and entraining adaptation, cuts off before some of the stupider plotlines, and also adds literally my favorite scene in either. It's also helps the jokes flow better since they're being told by people who speak Japanese instead of translators trying to make manzai make sense in English.

"Orders are piling up, so could you move things along" is probably the most normal abnormal thing for anyone in foodservice to say.

Can I ask what point you're getting to before giving up? I honestly don't remember it being particularly slow, even before a certain handful of characters show up. Lovely Complex is very important to me so it's important that I know why people don't like it.

The abnormality is probably her wooden smile and what I assume might be an intimidating tone to go with it that isn't necessarily conveyed in the translation.

So Carol is going to front the money so Misuzu can buy and take over the ramen shop, and then together turn it into the biggest chain ramen restaurant in all of Japan. All before they graduate, of course.

People in Japan aren't even that short! The average height is only like an inch and a half shorter than in the US, and when I went there a lot of people were taller than me. :shrug:

That's average male height, average female height is like, 5'2".

I'm 5'11" and I often felt quite tall during my time in Tokyo.

Wikipedia has a 2005 study of Japanese adults at 172cm/5'7.5" male average and 158.7cm/5'2.5" female average, compared to the US at 176.4/5'9.5" and 163/5'4" or England at 178/5'10" and 165/5'5" for example. Definitely noticable but not insane.
