Tomo-chan is a Girl! Vol. 1

Product Information

When they finally entered the same middle school together, Jun realized that Tomo was a girl and it was the first time Tomo realized Jun just thought of her as a guy. The characters are absolutely amazing. They all have different and contrasting personalities that blend and balance out the mood of the story. None of them fall into any of the /dere/ categories (except maybe Tomo, but that depends on how you see her.) means totally stepping out of her comfort zone and becoming more feminine. Though I wouldn't say that this plot is the most unique or original, the execution of it is flawless. Right in the first chapter of this manga, it already seems to be leaving a strong and hilarious impression on you, and that impression will surely grow as you read the next dozen or so chapters.

Unfortunately, this means that there will not be enough source material available for Tomo-chan Is a Girl season 2 to be produced, with episode 13 likely being the last time we see Tomo and Jun together on screen. Both Tomo and Jun are oblivious to a normal persons way of thinking about things. Carol and Misuzu also tend to weirdly be able to sync their thoughts. The Crunchyroll Industry Panel at Anime Expo announced on Sunday a television anime adaptation of Fumita Yanagida's Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! (Tomo-chan Is a Girl!... read more Welcome to the probable 'successor' of other great 4-koma that were made into full anime such as the likes of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Girls, Watamote and Mikakunin de Shinkoukei.

So, has the original Tomo-chan is a Girl manga already finished, or is the series still releasing new chapters in Japan? Turns out to be the driving force behind Misuzu's initial advice to Tomo. Ever since Jun came into their lives as kids, Misuzu has been fiercely protective over the bond she has with Tomo and fears that the tomboy will one day leave her behind. Pushing Tomo to be more feminine was a dual attempt to make her friendship with Jun painfully awkward and to reduce the chance of their own friendship derailing by creating more shared interests. Carol repeatedly calls her out on this. Tomo's surname Aizawa (相沢) is a common Japanese surname meaning "phase, aspect, countenance, mutually, fellow" (相) ( ai) and "swamp, marsh" (沢) ( sawa/ zawa). Just like Monthly Nozaki girls, this manga features the antics of a few oddball characters in a high school setting, something we've seen a lot, but it wasn't executed properly most of the time. Aborted Declaration of Love: Tomo steels herself for confessing to Jun for a second time, and the mood was perfect for a confession. However, despite everything working in her favor (no interruptions, no fireworks droning her out, Jun has her full attention and sees her as a woman thanks to her yukata getup), she decided against confessing again due to the insight that it was not the right time and they would not last if they started dating at that point.

Tomo and Carol became friends in the first year of high school when Carol introduced herself and asked to be her friend. O.O.C. Is Serious Business: After Misuzu trips and falls onto Tanabe while walking down the stairs, she apologizes for the incident and then asks if he's hurt. The double whammy of (somewhat uncharacteristic) apology and concern immediately makes him wonder if she hit her head. Starting at the beginning is recommended, as it wouldn't make much sense to browse through hundreds of panels for a single instance. Don't let the fact that Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! is a 4-koma manga or the fact that its summary statement seems rather week drive you away.Yes, the original Tomo-chan is a Girl manga series, written and illustrated by Fumita Yanagida, has sadly already finished. In a successful 4-koma, the characters mean a lot, and that Tomo chan is a Girl especially delivers. Carol invites Tomo and Misuzu to her house, which turns out to be a giant mansion with a maze-like front yard. Carol's mother, Ferris, seems almost as airheaded as her daughter, but has suspicions about Misuzu's motives. Carol easily beats both Tomo and Misuzu at Othello. One of the biggest strengths of the series, are the ability of the characters to carry on the story without getting you bored. Each character fulfills its colorful role, in both whimsical personality and variety. Hidden Eyes: The eyes of Misuzu's father aren't visible during his scant appearances. His hairstyle seems to only be half the reason.

Ahead of the season finale, Tomo-chan Is a Girl is scoring an above-average 7.69/10 on MyAnimeList, 7.6/10 on IMDB, 75% on Anilist, and 4/5 on Anime Planet. She Cleans Up Nicely: When Carol and Misuzu give Tomo a makeover, they both get somewhat annoyed at how naturally pretty she is. When she's dressed in a yukata, Jun is easily blown away by her beauty.At 13 episodes, Tomo-chan Is a Girl!'s adaptation covers the entire manga. If you want to read more, we recommend starting the manga from the beginning. Strong Family Resemblance: The girls' mothers all look just like their daughters, but with different hairstyles. In the case of Carol's mother, they were unsure of whether or not she was her mother or sister until it was outright confirmed.

While at the convenience store, Tomo gets increasingly more uncomfortable as she notices more and more people looking at her; she then notices Jun and starts to freak out. [11] Tomo continues to freak out and tries to think of a plan if Jun were to notice her. She doesn't know what she would say to him. With Jun looking away, Tomo tries to get the ice cream and get out. [12]

The Chikan: An old man starts to feel up Tomo on the train when she and Jun are going home. Tomo, who was in the middle of internally fretting over not seeming feminine enough, starts misguidedly repressing her instinctual reaction to defend herself. Then Jun notices, and Tomo has to stop him from killing the bastard. During middle school, Jun finally realizes that Tomo is a girl after she shows up in her sailor uniform, initially believing it to be a prank and that Tomo is still a guy. Eventually, he accepts the fact, but still treats her as a guy. [2] Plot [ ]
