    best romance comedy series

    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.

    Really really good slice of life

    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.

    "A refreshing take on the tomboy romance anime".

    Tomo-chan is a Girl! Is a charming and funny anime that follows the everyday lives of Tomo and Jun as they navigate their feelings for each other. The show does a great job of balancing comedy and romance, and the characters are all likable and relatable. Tomo is a particularly well-developed character, and her journey of self-discovery is both heartwarming and hilarious.

    The animation in Tomo-chan is is simple but effective, and the character designs are expressive and memorable. The show's soundtrack is also great, with a mix of upbeat pop songs and more mellow acoustic tracks.

    Overall, Tomo-chan is a Girl! Is a fun and heartwarming anime that is sure to leave you with a smile on your face. If you're looking for a light-hearted romance with a dash of comedy, then this is definitely the show for you.

    Pros:

    Strong characters Excellent comedy Well-balanced blend of romance and slice-of-life Great soundtrack

    Cons:

    Romance could have been developed more Some pacing issues

    Recommendation:

    I highly recommend Tomo-chan is a Girl! To fans of comedy, romance, and slice-of-life anime. It's a heartwarming and funny show that will leave you feeling good.

    Do you know what it means to be "friend zoned"?

    Do you know what it means to be "friend zoned"? Tomo was put in the friend zone after confessing to Junichirou Kubota, her crush. He sees her as a friend, but Tomo wants him to see her as a girl. To tell the truth, there's a pretty good explanation for that. For you see, Tomo represents the definition of a tomboy, yet she's a girl.

    The anime's title literally means what it says. At least in a literal sense, Tomo Aizawa is a girl. She finds it distressing that Jun perceives her as a man at all times. The show, which is based on the 4-koma, mostly uses a romantic comedy storytelling style with lots of jokes and funny scenes. Considering how lightly the anime is handled, the fan service is something you shouldn't ignore. The main objective of the anime is to make Jun and the viewers understand that Tomo is a girl and not the tomboy that everyone thinks her to be.

    Though I haven't worked on anime much, viewers shouldn't be too concerned with fan service, as I previously stated. I'm not too familiar with the author. Their real concern should be whether Tomo will ever move on from his friendship with Jun or remain in it indefinitely. With Tomo's naive confession, the play also taught me the importance of first impressions. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies in which it takes the whole season to determine whether or not a pair works out. Nevertheless, I overlooked this anime because it's the fundamental idea of the program, and each episode introduces fresh situations and character stories.

    Although Lay-Duce's repertoire hasn't left a lasting mark on the public, I can state with certainty that this is their best to date. Vibrant colors and logical phrases are used in the creation of character designs. They frequently react in a cartoonish way when they're surprised or anxious. Tomo is the primary offender due of her infatuation with Jun. But Misuzu is someone we shouldn't ignore because she always has that sinister, wicked expression on her face. What's perhaps most noticeable, though, is how Tomo is dressed in each episode. I find it quite entertaining that the anime seems to be experimenting with how much of a girl she can appear like.

    The kind of animation that its fan base has long desired to see is Tomo-chan Is A Girl!, and it has finally materialized. Not 'if, but when' was the pertinent question here. And the moment is here. We have a show here that has delighted viewers from the very beginning and has adhered faithfully to its plot for the whole run. Even though it didn't completely copy the original material, it used its magic to create a compelling plot and colorful array of characters. Indeed, Tomo-chan is a Girl! Is a show worth seeing. Indeed, Tomo is unquestionably a girl. All Jun has to do is accept it.

    LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

    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!!!!
