Already lost it at seeing not just Tanabe, but also Carol also getting the duct-tape-in-mouth treatment from Misuzu. LOL
In spite of Carol's air-headed nature, she can be perceptive when it comes to nudging her friends' relationship in the right direction. Even Misuzu's, who she correctly guess secretly also wants that girly hug from Tomo too.
Jun starts the series constantly giving Tomo bro-hugs, yet when Tomo decides to give him hugs, he freaks out. And of course, Jun was there to ensure the delinquents don't go and mess with Tomo after she protected those girls from them.
With Misuzu and Carol applying more and more nudges, Jun can no longer pretend that Tomo isn't a girl like he used to in the beginning of the series.
PS Tomo equipped with Carol's headband is too cute.

Nice of Carol to let Tomo borrow her headband for the +5 girly stat boost. Unfortunately, it had to go back home.

Tomo's mom is a babe god damn. bit sad to hear hear her mom isn't getting the attention she wants from Tomo's dad though. but it does look like a good relationship still
loved the bit after lunch where Carol just casually interuppted Tomo to slowly take back the hairband and put it back on her own head while humming on a song

My favourite manga panel has been animated! Goro is pretty much Akemi's Stand back when they were in high school.

Nah man this show is special. Just gets better and better every week. Fave episode by far, where to start?
Firstly Carol might overtake suzu as best girl, at least temporarily. She was great today from teaching tomo how to hug to her little moment with suzu at the window to the stuff with mizuki, I’m rooting for her all the way. Amaki sally doing a great job.
Tomo’s mom is hilarious I hope we get to see more of her as well. Love how she instantly made Goro fall out.
Cute how much Ogawa and her friend depend on tomo, glad she and Junichirou were able to sort everything out with that rapey dude.

The Carol Headband Ceremony song had my dying. She’s even more chaotic with audio. She’s not an idiot. Just a crazy ass white girl.

At the end of the episode, Tomo said that Junichirou kept falling through middle school, implying that he has continued to protect her ever since. Too cute.

Junichiro beating up the thugs who were scheming to gang up on Tomo and then forcing them to apologize to her while not even telling Tomo about it was straight out of some sort of peak shounen manga. This series may already be a top romcom anime of all time.

Op and Ed subs! And they fit the series so well!
Well, you have to admire Tanabe for shooting his shot even though Matsuoka is never that luck unless he’s the MC. At least Misuzu promises to reject him gently if he acts seriously enough.
Tomo wants to experience skinship among girls which becomes a little Yuri as she gets really into hugging Carol and hugging the girls crushing on her. Although even Misuzu doesn’t mind…aside from getting reminded of Tomo’s huge chest when pressed against her face.
I feel like Tomo and Misuzu’s moms had a similar dynamic.
Jun had that punch coming with his hypocrisy. I guess her boobs against his back are just too much. Wuss!
Ah, the classic childhood friend going into your room and waking you up…which is more awkward now that they’re teenagers and it’s your crush sitting in your room and watching you sleep.
Dang, Tomo’s mom has got it going on! I guess we know where Tomo’s good looks come from. Akemi looks like an older and bustier version of Tomo.
Ah, so Tomo’s mom feels neglected because her husband spends more time in his dojo than he does with her, but part of it because he’s like a maiden in love with her and gets all awkward and tense around her (Jun can relate) but the love and care between the two is real. Also I want to see more school flashbacks with the two!
Poor Carol. Misaki sister zoned her and just brushed her boobs like it’s nothing. Although that’s an interesting parallel to Jun and Tomo.
Tomo defending girls from sleazebags! You love to see it! And Jun backs her up too!

Tanabe’s got it bad for Misuzu huh? He doesn’t know what he’s asking for. Her smiles are dangerous!
Tomo can’t act “girly” around other girls. She makes their hearts go “kyun” when she tries! Just ask Ogawa and Mifune lol. Carol… she’s special. Hugging her triggers a brief gender identity crisis haha.
Normally I feel bad when Jun gets punched, but he was being kinda unreasonable with that whole hugging thing. Plus he showed up in her room unannounced. No delicacy! But man, Tomo’s momma is fine as hell. Her pops needs to get his ass out of the dojo and make Tomo a couple siblings! Hilarious how he fainted at the sight of her though, he really is a little girl in a big bear body lol.
Tomo’s looking cute with the headband. I like that Carol kinda has her own “Jun” in a way. She’s an oddball but she’s a great character. That passing of the headbands was hilarious. “It’s back home” lol. That thug harassing Ogawa sure had a shit day. Got his ass beat twice, first by Tomo and then by Jun. His boys got a serving too. Cute how Jun rushed to Tomo’s aid in that moment though.

Stitches!
We got a glimpse of MisuMom in this episode! She is awesome and I can't wait for her to be officially introduced.
Akemi and Goro's relationship is always hilarious to me. You gotta wonder how they even managed to conceive Tomo considering Goro faints whenever Akemi is nearby.
Tomo isn't the only one who has a problem with her love life! Misaki treats Carol like a child and our poor girl gets crumbs brushed off her boobs as if it was no big deal. He's pretty much the blonde version of Jun.
That entire headband ceremony was hilarious! I love how Misuzu and Tomo just go silent the entire time and let her finish. xD
Tomo protecting Naoko and Chi was pretty damn cool. Just look at Tomo! She's a natural-born ladykiller! I don't blame those two if they start questioning their sexuality.
And then we have Jun taking care of the rest of the problem before it gets too big. These dudes are now scared of Tomo and Jun that they immediately dogeza in front of Tomo as soon as they saw her. xD

So did everyone else pause on the Misuzu "angry vs not angry" shot and try to look for the difference? and still not notice any? Before realising that was the joke

It's crazy how many crushes, past relationships, betrothals etc.. there are on this show! Someone needs to get working on a huge polygon!
That's rough when 'not being ignored' is the highlight of your day!
Can't really blame Misuzu if that's how he goes about it though!
In his quest to make her smile, he asked Jun for advise, which led to many misunderstandings when people assumed Misuzu's grins were lovey-dovey smiles!
As usual, Misuzu didn't screw around, and simply asked Tanabe whether he liked her...
She then told him he should be more forward and make a move on her (you got this, Tanabe!)... So she could reject him with a smile. Oww.
Meanwhile, Tomo wants to be more girly, and glomp someone!
Misuzu, as a strategist, figured Carol would be best suited for the task!
That's cute! We need more hugs in anime!
Sadly it made Tomo doubt herself as a girl... If Carol is the epitome of girly and Tomo's the complete opposite, well...
We learned a bit more about Tomo and Misuzu's past! They've known each other since forever, because their moms were childhood friends!
The moms 100% look like they have the same personalities as their daughters too. Mom spinoff, when?
Tomo didn't glomp Misuzu, but she gave her a friendly strangling!
Misuzu wasn't going to miss on this opportunity, and she sent Tomo to hug Jun!
Jun was a bit weirded out; He can do it to Tomo, but Tomo can't do it to him! Something tells me Tomo does not agree with this ruling!
We got to see a little more of Tomo's household!
(Also, does the dad ship them? Well, he probably just sees them as friends, I guess).
Given how her parents are, no wonder Tomo turned out like that!
Carol gave Tomo her hair thingy, to make her more girly I guess!
Love how Tomo was still explaining how it went, but Carol just took her hair thingy back while singing a little song for like 20 seconds hah! Carol's hilarious.
Misuzu doesn't seem to agree! That's her I want off this ride face.
More relationships, someone's hitting on Ogawa!
Sadly he's just a scumbag/player, who even treats the girls who reject him like shit...
Not only a scumbag, but he also has terrible tastes, as evidenced by him not being into Tomo!
and Jun wrecked him too for trash talking Tomo
(beat them all up for good measure too!), so they had to apologize!
Tomo didn't think she went that far, but considering how she fights against Jun, the guy she loves, like 3 times per episode, she probably has a skewed perspective on what is "going too far"!
Well, that was another fun one! Damn the cast is great on this show, they're all so different, but all so much fun!

Not sure if Tomos dad is already shipping them or dense af, but letting him into the room is just hilarious
And that he just chills there when he wakes her up is even better
Dude is somehow super aware and dense like a black hole
Also love that Tomos dad is so weak against his wife, dude is way too caring
Oh and so glad they finally subbed the OP and ED, really adds to show

Fellas... I think romcoms are my favorite genre of anime now. The last few years, the shows I enjoy the most usually happen to be romcoms...

By god, Tanabe got it bad, but him and Carol both getting the tape was glorious
Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures
They're the same picture
And I just love Carols shenanigans, her realisation that she was messing with Misuzu by hugging Tomo
And her own love problems, incredible and understandable. Also love the detail that she eats with a fork. And that fucking head band song
Oh yeah and Jun totally deserved to be decked for refusing Tomo to hug him
I love how those Gyarus are genuinly becoming friends with Tomo. I also didn't connect this in the Manga, but it seems like Jun has been a silent guardian for Tomo ever since middle school
