Complex Laboratory

Okano is a deeply self-conscious teenager navigating the awkwardness of adolescence without a single friend to his name. Seeking refuge from the social demands of high school, he spends his days conducting solitary experiments in his own private science club room. For a time, this quiet isolation provides everything he needs, and he remains perfectly content with his uneventful routine. However, his carefully maintained peace is shattered by the sudden arrival of Shouta Tsuchiya, an overly affectionate and relentlessly energetic underclassman who shows up one day with wide-eyed admiration for Okano’s work. Despite being complete opposites in personality and demeanor, Shouta inexplicably takes a strong liking to the older boy. He forcefully inserts himself into the science club, cheerfully refusing to take no for an answer. As Okano finds himself constantly dragged along by his boisterous junior, the reluctant loner begins to experience unfamiliar emotions that challenge everything he thought he knew about himself. What starts as unwanted disruption slowly transforms into something far more profound. Complex Laboratory follows the dynamic between an oblivious, puppy-like underclassman and his isolated senior as youth, sweat, and tears combine in a volatile chemical reaction, resulting in an explosive romantic comedy.
