[edit] Plot

The story centers around Akira Sakamoto who is apart of a very unique family. Everyone in his family is incredibly beautiful, except him. Compared to the rest of his family, Akira is often overshadowed and feels left out of the rest of the family when they go out in public. Despite this, his family has never tried to distance themselves from him and they treat each other the same way.

[edit] Characters

Akira Sakamoto (坂本秋良, Sakamoto Akira^?): The main character and the narrator of the story who's 14 years old and a junior at Fujimori Junior High School. He feels that he is the only normal person in his whole family of beauties.

Harumi Sakamoto (坂本春海, Sakamoto Harumi^?): The eldest brother of the family at 17 years old. He's called "Sakamoto-sama" by his peers at school and could easily be a model.

Natsuru Sakamoto: She is the eldest sister of the family at 16 years old. She is often mistaken for a boy because of her looks.

Fuyuki Sakamoto: The youngest sister of the family at 10 years old. She is usually rather quiet. She has been compared to a doll various times.

Hidetoshi Sakamoto: The father of the family looks about as old to be Akira's brother despite him really being 41 as well. He works as a technician.

Nanami Sakamoto: The mother of the family who, much like her husband, looks incredibly young for her actual age of 41. She looks very innocent.

[edit] Manga

The Family Complex manga was first serialized in the manga magazine Wings, published by Shinshokan, with the only tankoubon released in May 2000.

[edit] Trivia

Akira and his whole family also appear in the series Princess Princess by the same creator of Family Complex. Oddly, in their appearance in the anime, Akira's younger sister is portrayed as an androgynous beauty like his older sister, instead of a doll-like girl.
