Otonari Complex

2025 · 1 season

A gentle, slow-burning romance about two friends whose comfortable closeness is complicated by unspoken feelings and a new rival.

Overview
Makoto and Akira are childhood friends often mistaken for a couple due to their looks—Makoto’s feminine appearance and Akira’s boyish charm. While Makoto secretly wants more, Akira seems happy with their friendship. When Makoto joins a group date disguised as a girl, a romantic rival appears, pushing them to face their feelings and question if they can move beyond being just friends.
