Line 24:
* The whole premise of ''[[Lovely Complex]]'' - namely, protagonists Koizumi (171 cm tall: [[Huge Schoolgirl]]) and Otani (158 cm tall: [[The Napoleon]]). The fact this is so annoys them to no end, as they found at the beginning that no one takes them seriously in terms of romance because of this. And for better or worse, they start falling for each other...
** It's also hinted that {{spoiler|this is a case of [[Generation Xerox]], as Koizumi's grandparents were also like this... and they faced LOTS of hardships. This ''may'' explain why Koizumi's now widowed grandfather hates Otani so much - he fears that he won't be able to make Koizumi happy if they stay together.}})
* ''[[Zone of the Enders]]: Dolores, i'', in a non-romantic ([[Precocious Crush|sorta]]), platonic way: The old veteran pilot stuck together with a [[Ridiculously
* ''[[One Piece]]'': Monkey D. Luffy clocks in at just over five-foot-seven. His enthusiastic admirer, the pirate empress Boa Hancock, towers over him at a statuesque ''six-foot-three''. (For bonus amusement, she's also 12 years his senior, making them if not a [[May-December Romance]] than at least a May August...Whatever The Heck Is Going On There.)
** {{spoiler|He's now befriended Shirahoshi, the biggest mermaid alive, whose size is comparable to their ship. It has yet to be seen whether she will develop romantic feelings for him, but it's safe to say that if she does, [[Chaste Hero|they won't be reciprocated]].}}
Line 118:
* ''[[Discworld|Discworld's]]'' rather skinny Vimes and his not quite obese but extremely well-built wife Lady Sybil.
** Also, in ''Thud!'', pipsqueak Nobby Nobbs dates six-foot stripper Tawneee.
** In the ''[[Discworld]]'', we meet greengrocer Arthur Winkling and his wife, a man suffering from late-onset vampirism who is a [[Henpecked Husband]] to his domineering human wife, who expressly forbids him from doing all that business with flighty young women in underwired nightdresses who are no better than they should be. A subversion and a [[Shout
* From ''[[Honor Harrington (Literature)|Honor Harrington]]'':
** Honor is 6'2" (188cm) and Paul Tankersley was about 5'6" (168cm), but powerfully built. He spent a lot of time teasing her and giving her sexually laden grief about it before he had a bridge dropped on him. Later she got a more equal match, as {{spoiler|Hamish Alexander}} is about the same height.
Line 132:
* Sera Vorder and Francis Love Skelbrooke from ''Goblin Moon'' and ''The Gnome's Engine''. She's so tall and sturdy that she's embarassed about it, he's petite {{spoiler|due to faerie blood}} and (deceptively) delicate-looking.
* The [[Myth Adventures]] books imply that Aahz and Tananda had a fling in the past. Tananda is tall enough to have subjected Skeeve to [[Marshmallow Hell]] in the graphic novel of ''Another Fine Myth'', and Aahz is shorter than Skeeve.
* In the [[
* Physically, Henry and Eva [[Wilt]] also fit the [[Tiny Guy, Huge Girl]] trope: in line with author [[Tom Sharpe|Tom Sharpe's]] female leads, Eva is an [[Earth Mother]], a very much larger-than-life woman who does everything to excess, including motherhood - she is mother to quad girls, also to Henry's discomfort. And they all take after Mum...
* ''[[Anonymous Rex]]'' - Vincent, a velociraptor, is naturally much smaller than his friend and colleague, Glenda, a hadrosaur. At one point, Vincent steps onto Glenda's shoulders to reach a high drainpipe, noting that he felt "like a young son sitting on his mother's shoulders to watch a parade."
Line 154:
* Davy and the beautiful, tall laundromat owner in ''[[The Monkees]]'' episode "Monkees Get Out More Dirt".
* In ''[[Working Class]]'', Carli (played by Melissa Peterman, 5'10") gets an internet date (played by David Faustino, 5'3") to go to her boss's housewarming party with her. Numerous height jokes ensue.
* Gaius Baltar and Six in the re-imagined ''[[
