Love has no form; it moulds itself in any form it can get
into. That’s why most love stories are great success despite some might end
with tragedy but today I am going to give my opinion on a love story which is
unusual but epic in its self. The story is serialized with 10 episodes. If
anyone who want to watch series with fewer episodes and feel epic after that
then I would recommend watching ‘My little lover: Minami Kun no Koibito’. This
type of lover you might find rarely anywhere. The story is light to watch means
you will enjoy throughout the series without too much crying. There are scenes
which are cute, suspense and of course adventurous. The story is about two high
school students Horikirishi Chiyomi and Minami Shunichi, both are childhood
friends. They promised each other to get married when they were kids but they
grew up things began changing and Minami Kun began distancing himself from
Chiyomi chan. The reason was Minami Kun’s father abandoned his family when he
was in middle school. So, he dedicated all his time to studies so that he can
get a scholarship at a good medical university. The main plot is well written
and shows the reality of the world but in this scenario, there is a small twist
around which the whole series revolves around. The town in which protagonists
are living, it has a legend, legend of ‘one-inch princess’. Everyone in the
town knows the legend or might have heard as folktale as a child. In the senior
year of high school, both Chiyomi Chan and Minami Kun began the classes. One
day, due to dispute with her parents Chiyomi runs from and bumps into Minami
Kun, there she explains her ordeal. After hearing her Minami Kun rudely
comments that she is a spoiled child and he hates her. This breaks her heart.
She ran from there and reaches the place whereas kids they promised each other
to get married. There she learns that she loves Minami Kun that’s why his
statement hurts her and wishes that she want to return to that time when they
were kids. That night storm hits the town and Chiyomi unable to return to her
home. In the morning she founds that her body shrank into one inch. Meanwhile
due to the disappearance of Chiyomi causes huge chaos in the locality. Minami
Kun feels responsible and goes for searching her while following the trail of
Chiyomi’s belongings he reaches the place where Chiyomi is. There he learns
about Chiyomi and takes her home. Upon her request, Minami Kun agrees to let
her stay in his room with him because she thinks that her family might not bear
this phenomenon. Both Minami and Chiyomi spend time together and face many
challenges. But in the end, things work to be good and they fall in love with
each other and get married after graduating high school.
Each episode explains a new issue of their families. This is
one of the best examples to show that how much messed up our lives may be,
isolating ourselves is not a solution rather we have to face the problem and
discuss them with family and friends because whatever situation we maybe they
will always love us. In the first episode, you will find the character of
Minami Kun as an uptight and ambitious person but in the later parts of series,
you will come to know that he is a good student, ideal son and grandson and a
great lover who cares for his partner. While coming to the end of the series,
he behaves like a lover boy which I liked that.
Overall I found this interesting and out of box story. Good
thing is that you can complete the whole series in sitting also and will be
bored during that time. The characters are nice and free. The side characters
added more life the series with their senses of humor and pun jokes. The best
thing I liked that the series forces to stick to the story and will get the
urge to know the story deeper and deeper. If you are wondering whether it has a
happy ending or not then relax, it has a wonderful happy ending. If you free
and bored then get it a try, you won’t regret it, I can assure you that. I also
want to congratulate the production team of the series for such delicates with
such a precision that they felt real.
