You know the expression of 'being friend zoned'? Tomo got the friend zone treatment after confessing to her crush, Junichirou Kubota. While Tomo wants him to see her as a girl, he only sees her as a friend. And to be honest, there's a rather justifiable reason for that. For you see, Tomo represents the definition of a tomboy, but she's a girl.

The title of the anime is exactly what it sounds like. Tomo Aizawa is a girl, at least literally. The depressing fact from her point of view is that Jun always sees her as a guy. Based on the 4-koma, the series primarily ...

Tomo-Chan caught me by surprise. I’m not normally into the muscular mommy dommy waifu vibe so came into this with low expectations, but boy was I blown out of the water with how good this show is. Takahashi Rie puts in one of her most memorable performances to date and this will go down as the best romance show of Winter 2023.

Tomo-chan’s story is not the most original, on the surface at least. Childhood friends who are both oblivious to each other’s feelings, grow up, reach puberty and start noticing each other as members of the opposite sex. What makes this one stand out is ...

Tomo-chan is a Girl is a very hit or miss romcom in my opinion, with its louder style of comedy, and while being a bit repetitive at times, it worked for me. It has a rocky start in the romance aspect, and the comedy was definitely what made this show a decent one. It’s pretty goofy and episodic, while having Tomo and Junichiro’s relationship slowly build. It sadly falls into the category of a show where the side characters shine the most, with Carol and Misuzu carrying the show on their back, but they were so entertaining that it saved the show. It’s a comedy ...

The story is about Tomo Aizawa, a girl that has masculine hobbies and clothing style. But deep inside she has a feminine and soft heart. Proof of this is that she has a crush on Junichiro Kubota, a long time friend of hers and Misuzu Gundou, a cute and silent girl. That's where our tale starts. Despite hundreds of tries, Jun just isn't aware of Tomo's feelings. Even though he is not conscious of his jealousy every time he feels threatened by another guy hitting on her, or even just some close friend, like Kousuke Misaki.

A point worth mentioning is how this anime likes ...

The mediocre ratings and mixed feelings given by most users is a good reflection of the state of most modern anime...trash. Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko is a breathe of fresh air to the stale romance genre. As someone who has read the manga, this anime is a very good adaptation with good standard artstyle and great voice acting. More than anything, it is hilarious and I find myself laughing out loud several times (not just blowing air through my nose).

I think anyone who dislikes the general and boring cliche of romance anime will enjoy this interesting spin. This show is for men of culture.

Note: I personally ...

Ah, Tomo-chan. What a breath of fresh air you've surprised me to be (so far).

In a genre that's been plagued by the clutches of soulless writing and shameless fanservicing for at least a decade now, you'd be hard-pressed to find a well made romance reminiscent of the good old shoujo days. Though there may be no shortage of big tiddies™ here either, what we do have is the ultimate guilty pleasure trope mixed with a cast of characters who are ACTUALLY LIKEABLE??? and decently animated to boot! Not to mention, that OP is way too cute for its own good. Even top trending comedies *coughanyacough* ...

Tomboy romcom, right? Wrong. Tomo-chan is not a tomboy and her namesake series is not a romcom at all.

Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! is a stereotypical case of a story that is genuinely deep and thought-provoking but doesn’t beat the audience over their heads with how smart it's supposed to be, leaving pretentious pseuds not able to see any depth at all and thus dismissing it as a generic *insert-genre-name-that-vaguely-fits-here*.
Here is a concrete example:
The protagonist spends the opening ten minutes of the show worrying that her love interest Jun doesn’t see her as a girl. Then the perspective switches to him. Jun learns that Tomo has made ...

If you're looking for something fun and wild at the same time, in between your normal super action packed shows, then you've got the recipe to success here with Tomo-chan.

Story and characters: 7
The story is pretty straight forward, the synopsis explains it in great detail of what the show is about. Set in a school setting, and mainly following a set of characters such as Tomo, our tall red haired tomboy, Jun our somewhat dumb, but very considerate bro, Misuzu our deadpan but amused other best friend of Tomo, and finally we have Carol the airheaded bright gal as our final member of main characters, ...

I get the appeal.

Tomo-chan is a very sweet romcom anime about young love, that is very apparent. I think it started off quite strong, with good comedy and cute strong characters. I love the dynamics between Carol-chan and Misuzu, with them bickering at times but always having one another's back. Misuzu also is like definitely the best girl in the show. As for our main couple, I'm not really that interested in them? Even after watching I don't feel much sentimental value for them which is? Questionable. It just dragged a-lot with the whole romance aspect, it's a ROM-com, so I was expecting like ...

Have you ever heard that shouting does not automatically make something funny? The same goes here. People have no chill in this show. They're also all one-note characters, and in no way does their behaviour resemble that of normal people. It's quite honestly bizarre and frustrating:

Tomo isn't a tomboy, she's written to be a full-on boy with the character design of a tomboy. It's too much to take seriously, especially when her mom seems pretty well put-together. You'd think she would've been involved with her daughter's life and already taught her how to be a girl, even if Tomo didn't take naturally to it. Apparently ...

Apparently lots of people don't like this anime and maybe I'm an idiot, but this is the most I've laughed since B Gata H Kei came out in 2010. I generally don't like Japanese comedy at all, so anything that makes me laugh gets a recommendation. I've learned watching dubs really helps me enjoy them. I find it very hard to laugh at comedy when reading jokes and hearing them in a different language because comedy is all about timing and delivery, something I can't appreciate in a language I don't speak. Hearing the proper inflections for the jokes in English really helps get the ...

Tomboy develops romantic feelings for childhood friend who does not understand her sentiments at all. Tomboy asks for advice from her snarky friend and from there shenanigans ensue.

This is a seasonal high school rom-com that delivers exactly what is packaged, no subversions here. Where it succeeds in being a decent high school rom-com in a proverbial sea of flustered fools and nose bleeds is in the whole of its cast, the upper-end animation treatment it got, and in the satisfactory pay-offs. The tired trope of a male lead denser than a neutron star is applied here with the childhood friend trope applied beneath it, at ...

Y'know, as much as I like this show, it does itself a serious disservice by its premise and first episode. So much so that I think the people who quickly judge it as not worth their time are justified in dropping it and moving on.

Tomo-chan is a show that, for all intents and purposes, looks like another romcom with a gimmick. You know the type—they're 90% comedy, 10% romance, and what romance is there exists just to tease you while the characters remain in a carefully preserved status-quo. I swear, it's like the writers of those shows have the main couple floating in some eerie ...

Before I begin, let me just get out of my head the conspiracy theory that the main heroine’s name (Tomo) sounds exactly like the word for friend in Japanese (友), which would, in my humble opinion, be a horribly cruel way of dooming her to suffer a bad case of being friend-zoned by her childhood friend and love interest from birth. Sorry, Tomo; you deserved better than that.

Now on with the actual review. This is the sweetest thing I have watched in a long time. It is obnoxiously pure in the sense that it’s the story of a bunch of Japanese teenagers who are slowly ...

It's good if you like romcoms.

The plot is good, it's always interesting to see someone doubt their own personality and although sometimes it may not be very good, in this case it is executed splendidly, there is always a concise explanation of why things happen.

Another point to highlight are the characters, they are well structured, each one has its own background which is explored without the need to steal the limelight, it is simply given the time it needs.

Although something that I would like to mention is the fact that it is important to remember that the main characters have an average age of 15/16 ...

Animation was not up to the mark it was average it could have been better.

Tomo-chan is a girl who would be regularly misidentified as a boy if not for her *ahem* sizable assets. Jun, the boy she is in love with, has been her best friend forever and doesn't understand what she means by "I love you, Jun!" And so our macho pair begin their story of trying to find love in their perfect bromance, assisted by the cold Misuzu-chan and the deredere Carol-chan.
In short, if like tomboys, rom-coms, MILFs, or a good story, then there will be something for you to enjoy in this show. The animation and the voice acting are fantastic, and Tomo's and Ms. Olsten ...
