I think I will continue watching the anime rather than read the manga

Honestly, this has got to be one of the best romantic and school life seinen I could recommend to everybody. It has its seinen "lewdy" quality, that is so subtle, you wouldn't even really notice it. If you're into an angsty read with childhood friends as thick as thieves; but with one harboring feelings for the other, and one being as clueless (I'm not really sure about that, Junichiro is too obvious!) as they can be, then this one's for you.

I swear, when Jun immediately noticed the groper and took action, I swear, my heart melted!!

One of my favourite first volumes so far! Picked it up randomly, but it was just such a fun and easy read 🥰

It has some cliche cringe moments, but for the most part this book was funny and very high school. The characters are also all pretty likeable, side character included. 📚

This review is for the entire series (Vol. 1-8)
Tomo-chan is a girl!
So why does Jun, her childhood friend and current crush, keep treating like one of the boys?

Humorous mishaps of a tomboyish girl trying to get her crush to recognize her as a girl rather than one of the boys, which is how he's been treating her for years.

Consistently funny 4-koma manga.

Tomo-chan is a bit dated in some respects, leaning into tropes that more modern series have moved away from, but it's still one of my favourite romcoms. It's just goofy fun. It's one of the few stories where a tsundere punching the guy they have a crush on is both funny and appropriate.

Not sure if I like the format and there's a lot of fan service, but it was entertaining.
