Fun relationship book about two friends who may or may not be attracted to each other and the issues of one of them being a tomboy and the other only seeing her as one of the guys.

Great character dynamics and absolutely hilarious. My only issue is the need to be more feminine for male attention. But it's critiqued later on in the series.

On the first day of high school, Tomo confessed to her best friend Jun. The problem is that Jun hasn't ever thought of Tomo as a girl. Ever since they were kids they'd play together and even learned karate together, but now Tomo wants to shake off her tomboy image and win Jun's heart.
This is an adorable 4-koma (four panel layout) slice of life manga about Tomo who is crazy about Jun, but he doesn't see her as much. I found this very similar to Wotakoi in the fact that it isn't very episodic like other mangas are in a different style. Instead we're looking at a day in the life of these characters and there's a plot that slowly unfurls itself as the volume goes on.
Needless to say I did relate to Tomo quite a bit because I have always been a bit of a tomboy and I've been interested in guy friends that only saw me as one of the guys. It's frustrating. Now, I know what you're thinking, this sounds dangerously like friendzone. Nope. Jun is pretty much oblivious to her and it's fairly clear in the first few chapters that their feelings might be mutual.
I really loved Misuzu who is Tomo's best female friend and how she kind of plays with Jun. They don't really get along that much. She has that kind of intimidating demeanor.
This is another manga I picked up on recommendation and I'm glad that I did. I'll be grabbing more volumes whenever they pop up on sale.

I think I'm not the only one who will scream about how refreshing this manga is. Usually in comics and manga there is a troupe about how the best friend of the mc is not seen as a "man," but rather as a little brother or friend. This, however, flips the troupe around and expresses the frustration from the perspective of a girl whose best friend just views her as one of the bros, to the point where he's oblivious she's a female at all in some points.
Honestly, the manga is full of enjoyable moments and laughs, and I can't wait to see where it continues.

This series is hilarious! With the usual childhood friends where the boy is dense while the girl is trying to make him notices her. The side characters are awesome as well which makes the series even more captivating. A typical slice of life in our normal days event tag and I can't stop reading once I started.

Honestly I can't tell you how much I began to grow bored of this 4-koma 1 page comic after reading 435 chapters. All it's about is dimwitted lad called Jun who isn't just bothered by his childhood friend Tomos confession just because she ain't "girly enough" to make him self aware that she is in fact, the opposite sex. Literally gender labelling involved in this manga is just a joke. It's like I feel the characters surrounding Tomo just can't accept for who she is. I have to give credit tho that she does stand up for herself whenever any character pisses her off.
I really thought this long manga series was going to change my mind as the comic went on, of course it didn't. It gave me the waiting game to when both characters finally admit they love one another. Bro...945 chapters is too much to find out and rather too little too late in my personal opinion. I just don't care anymore what happens at the end of it, I literally give up!
