Where it came from
Complex was created by manga artist Kikuchi Kumiko, emerging during a period of experimentation within the shojo and josei genres. The series was designed to explore the nuances of human relationships and personal identity, reflecting a trend toward more introspective and psychologically driven narratives in late 20th-century Japanese manga. Its visual style is characterized by Kumiko's signature delicate line work and focus on emotive character expressions.
The series was received by readers as a thoughtful contribution to its genre, praised for its grounded portrayal of everyday life and its avoidance of over-the-top tropes. By focusing on the quiet complexities of its characters, the work carved out a niche among audiences looking for grounded realism. Over time, it has come to be viewed as a representative example of the nuanced storytelling techniques employed by artists like Kumiko during this era of manga production.
