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!

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.

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.

This is just slice of life, rom-com anime done perfectly. The dynamic between aizawa and jun was my favorite part about this series. And surprising the comedy in this show is really good. I didn't find myself cringing at a lot of jokes, it was mostly genuinely really funny.

The side characters are also pretty good. I really liked mizuru and aizawas dad especially. Though i wasn't the biggest fan of carol, very 1 dimensional, I guess that's the point though.

I don't really have anything else to say, i think if you liked horimiya or shows like toradora with this sort of tom-girl dynamic (not saying horimiya was a tom-girl anime)

Then honestly you should just watch it. 10/10.

I really, really, really enjoy this anime, is short and funny and absolutely cute!!

Is a friends lo lovers anime with a unique female protagonist, she's strong, funny, tomboy and so in love with his childhood best friend. Is a really beautiful journey of understanding about true friendship and love. Sometimes you have a friend and that's awesome, but sometimes in love you found both, a best friend and your true love. I really like that part of expression in this anime, that your partner is not only your love, is also your Friend! And than that is the true, and beautiful part of a relationship. Also I love the Tomboy representation in this anime, not all tomboys are the same!

In real life, on the inside we are fragil girls, and just want to be loved but we are what we are.
