Tomo-chan Is a Girl!

This is my favorite show of the year! For starters, the comedy is great and guaranteed to make you laugh. The story was originally told in a 4-panel comic format, so there is no shortage of little gags and punchlines. But don't get the wrong idea, the show is able to dive into characters backgrounds, their thoughts and feelings, show their strengths and flaws. We get to see characters have significant character development as they learn about themselves and others and reflect on their mistakes.

It is refreshing to have a story where you aren't shouting at the screen, "Just tell him/her how you feel! Just say it!" (Not a spoiler, it's the opening scene/premise for the show) In the very first opening scene, Tomo confesses her love for Jun, but Jun friendzones her. So instead of the "should I tell him/her" "I want to tell him/her" narrative, it instead is about how Tomo is trying to be more girly to get Jun to notice her as more than "one of the guys" or "bro."

I greatly enjoyed the beautiful animation. Every scene, background, object, and of course character is beautifully drawn. I have listened to the English dub, and the voice acting was great and really brought the characters to life. I will be rewatching the series in Japanese with English subtitles soon.

I really enjoyed this anime, and I think you will too. Give it a try!

Ohhh man i mean how can any one make such a wonder full series of romance i thnk it is capable of oveer take any romantic seires no doubt.

It contains romance,comedy,back story,(dark sence by our gundo),emotion. I really ask the veiwer to watch it its not a waste of time i can garantie it. The main part is how our tomo is triying to show her love toward jun & even though the jun likes her back more than her but his fear alway takes him bak when he moves foward. Well im not gonna say the story and spoil it. & the graphic toooo awesome. If u ever fell down u can watch this it will realy help u get on to ur feett back.

Tomo Aizawa is very much a tomboy. She is also in love with Junichiro, a boy she has been friends with since childhood. One day she plucks up the courage to tell him but he misunderstands, it doesn't cross his mind that she meant it romantically rather than as friends. She persists in trying to get him to see her as more than just a friend but things never seem to go her way.

I thought this series was a lot of fun. There are plenty of laughs to be had in every episode. The characters are solid, as well as Tomo and Junichiro there is Misuzu, Tomo's sadistic friend and Carol, a bubbly girl of British ancestry. The character designs are good; I like the fact that Tomo is in no way androgynous; so the fact that she is a girl isn't disputed, it is just her tomboyish behaviour. Overall a really fun series that I'd certainly recommend to any anime fan looking for a good laugh.

I'm not gonna write a 3 page review, all I'm gonna say is that this show is so good!! The graphics were nice, it had a nice story, slow paced, a little rushed towards the ending but still well paces though, and it has a very nice ending. I love this show, one of the best in 2023 so far to be honest. I'm not gonna ensure you that everyone will love it, after all, "to each their own", everyone has different likes. But I will say, if you're looking for a well paced, funny, heart warming romantic series with likable characters, you SHOULD DEF TRY THIS ONE OUT!! It gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling watching the romance unfold between the characters and just makes you smile. I absolutely loved this show so much. Like I said before, to each their own, but if you like romance anime with a satisfying ending, try this one out.

NOTICE:: I'm adding this to my review after watching watching last ep:

This show was so damn good guys. The ending was perfect, it left you feeling so glad for the character. This is one of the best ROMANCE SHOWS I'VE EVER SEEN!!!! Give it a shot if you haven't watched it yet, you won't be disappointed, and if some people don't like it, somethings wrong with them. This show was so amazing, it was the highlight of my day. 10/10 top tier Romcom!!!!

(14+) Not a bad series, and I actually binged it in two days. Every character was well done, even the supporting ones. The female protagonist was sweet and sensitive, but also burly, aggressive, and quick to strike the male protagonist! So, some of the conflict scenes between the two love interests was a bit off-putting (and made me wonder how they could both forgive each other after some of their rumbles!) A bit too much over the top for me, but other than that it is a solid series and worth the watch!
