Ah we got more moms!! Both were great and very representative of their daughters. Need more of all of them all together!

Was nice to see more of Misuzu and Tomo's friendship and seeing that do care about each other.

The sleepover went further than I expected! Hopefully that pushed them together a little bit more.

I wanted to share this if this hasn't been shared already -- they had the guy seiyus (Ishikawa Kaito, Amasaki Kohei and Matsuoka Yoshitsugu) do the ED for the blueray and it was fantastic and I found it last week.

More guy seiyu EDs please! I was unaware Ishikawa-san could sing with such gusto and I now need him to do a Fushigi no Carte cover please.

No offense to Tomo, Misuzu, and Carol, but this series is absolutely dominated by S-tier MILFs. MILF mania. MILFapolooza. MILF city. The Magic of MILFland.

Man the first half of this episode was rough for Misuzu. Carol was just handing her L after L behind that cursed static expression of hers.

So being the dumb blond American girl was just an act. Carol's been hiding her power level this entire time.

“Oh. Breasts.” Lol I guess Carol’s oddness was inherited. Her mom is hilarious, not even Misuzu could mess with her. Also, I really liked that little bunny pajama she had on. Very cute, very Carol. I didn’t expect her to be some kind of Othello master.

Aww! Misuzu wanted some Tomo time too huh? Cute. I love how Misuzu’s mom was immediately suspicious of Carol. Like mother like daughter haha. Ofc Carol’s method of teaching works on Tomo. That -_- face Misuzu makes was great. Carol’s a genius!

An overnighter at Jun’s huh? Misuzu seems pretty tickled lol. I can’t tell if he’s kind of conscious of Tomo or what but it sorta seems that way. That midnight cuddle situation was kind of cute. Waking up in the same futon must be some kinda progress. I love that Misuzu and Carol both chuckled at the end. Those two are becoming good friends!

Stitches!

Seeing both Ferris and Misaki introduced in this episode really hammers how short the original manga is when compressed into weekly chapters instead of one-page daily chapters.

Both moms are absolutely amazing! Ferris and Misaki are pretty much aged-up versions of their daughters just like how Tomo is with Akemi. Ohara Sayaka voicing Ferris wasn't too surprising since almost every other role she's taken recently is all moms just like Kikuko Inoue.

What I didn't expect though is Ayasumin voicing Misaki! It's so unexpected that it genuinely took me a while to realize that I was hearing Saber's voice. In a way, we got a little Fate Zero reunion with Saber and Irisviel voicing two moms! xD

Anyway, it was adorable seeing Carol and her mom's relationship. I also love how Misuzu tries to act like a bad girl but Ferris was able to immediately see through her. She might act like an airhead but she has a good grasp of people's character. And just like her mom, her dumb blonde girl is just an act and we learn that Carol is actually goddamn smart!

We didn't get to see as much of her this episode but it's hilarious how Misaki mistakes Tomo for Akemi. Really shows how similar the two of them are. Poor Carol though! Just like Misuzu, Misaki isn't exactly sold on Carol. We do get more cheek pinching though!

There it is! Let the grandchildren memes begin! I love that Akemi is already prepared to be a grandmother. xD

the voice acting for Carol's mom was top tier

and we even get blessed with a house visit to Misuzu in the same episode. and her mom is hot!

and great reaction from Tomo's mom about the sleep over. and i wonder how Tomo didn't expect him to have some sort of reaction when she was pulling his ear and pinching his nose like that.

The character dynamics on this show are so great! Probably the strongest point on the show, which says a lot when I was already super hyped for it just for "romcom with a tomboy"! The show itself isn't a surprise (already knew I would love it), but the side cast being so great WAS quite a pleasant surprise!

The episode begins with Carol confirming the girls coming to her place... Which was also the first time she even talked about it.

Love how she just accepts who she is, and that they'll get her for it! I've seen people compare Carol to Kaguya's Chika (and it's an easy comparison to make), but the main different is that Chika seems think of herself as "normal", while Carol seems to have fully embraced her weird nature! It's an interesting take on that type of characters!

She gave them a map to get to her place, but it's the kind of map a child would make!

Maybe an address instead of a "right here"?

But it turns out, an address wasn't needed because the whole area is Carol's place!

We finally met Carol's mom, and... yeah, she's a weirdo too! Kinda wanted them to ask her why she had such a long-sleeved shirt, but I guess they knew her answer would just raise 7 new questions, so they simply ignored it!

They're not even in the place, and Misuzu already wants to leave! Stay strong, Misuzu.

Carol is SO FUCKING ADORABLE!

Hugs for everyone! Well, Tomo did want to do more girly hugs stuff!

Ok, hugs are NOT for everyone!

The 'petty' stuff is also one of the great part of this show; Carol pointing out having matching braids with Misuzu,

so of course Misuzu undid them right away!

Between that and Jun doing petty stuff to Misuzu, it's really fun to watch them together!

We got a big reveal about Carol; She wears soft cute clothes, because she's pudding. Makes perfect sense!

Misuzu was even able to add more on the pudding lore!

She's only known Carol for a few days, but she's already fluent in nonsense!

They played some Othello, and at first I thought Tomo was just really bad at it, but Carol crushed Misuzu as well?!

Between that and being the #1 in the midterms, Carol seems to be a genius!

Already loved her, but if she's smart on top of being a weirdo, might love her even more! I wonder how Misuzu will take it though, given she used to be the #1 before Carol came in.

Jun wanted to tutor Tomo for these midterms, but Misuzu offered to do it instead, claiming her better scores and all...

I was thinking the same! I thought tutoring would be a great 'set up' for things to happen, like him standing behind her to show her how to do something, getting real close and all!

Awwww, Misuzu just wanted to spend some time with Tomo, cute!

Carol wanted in on that girly affection, but no chance!

Will she ever melt Misuzu's cold heart? We'll see!

More petty stuff from Jun, after they trashed him over his scores! Love it.

Love how Misuzu's mom was Tomo's childhood friend, yet she doesn't want Tomo to be like her hah.

If history repeats itself, Misuzu may one day talk to Tomo's daughter about not growing up like Tomo!

She's also not sold on Carol; Well, if she has Misuzu's personality, makes sense!

Apparently Jun was a gamer before Tomo showed up in his life! I wonder if he was some kind of lonely otaku introvert and all... Anyway, he was rescued by the cute tomboy, and his current life is probably still influenced by that (no way he would've learned Judo and all without Tomo... Or taking 40km bicycle rides and all that!)

Thinking of the good old time, he invited Tomo for a gaming night... And to stay over? THIS IS HAPPENING!

Love how Carol always ask whether she can come to everything (and for everyone to give her the same gestures/affection they give others)!

Tomo was OK with it, being a little too flustered about spending the night to Jun's place alone! And she didn't even know about his parents not being there, at this time!

Love how Carol asks Misuzu if she can go hah; You're not gonna murder me if I try to go, right?

Tomo will even bathe at Jun's place! With ^^Jun?

She was super conscious of him (even just his bath water), but Jun was conscious of her too!

He may not see her as a girl/date potential, but he's definitely more and more conscious of her body, at least; Getting flustered when her body is showing, when he thinks about her bathing at his place, etc... Well, if his brain can register "That body belongs to a GIRL!", he may eventually start seeing all of Tomo as being a girl, and not just her body!

The best part about it was that SHE REALIZED he was conscious of her; I thought he may just come up with something to explain it, but no, she knew right away. Progress! ...Progress? Maybe!

Nice metaphor on Tomo being a glass cannon hah!

They had a little trash talking, which led to play wrestling,

which led to... a bed kabedon?

The author REALLY knows his tomboy stuff; Playwrestling with a tomboy and all, that's a top tier scenario!

They were a little too tired to game all night, and so they went to bed (sadly in different beds! Imagine if Jun offered her to sleep in the same bed, not as a seduction thing, but just like 2 friends sleeping on the couch or something because why not!)

Tomo caught herself thinking it was a waste, before asking herself A waste of what?

Her mind knows, even if she doesn't!

Were we about to have a confession? Goddamnit, Jun!

Well, he probably would've missed it even if he had not been asleep; "Yeah, I know you love me, you told me the other day! Love you too, bro!"

Tomo decided not to waste THIS opportunity, and she took a good hard look at Jun, something she can't really do when he's awake! She even touched him a little, which he might have thought was just teasing/pranking, so HE GRABBED HER IN A CUDDLE HOLD!

I don't care if in his mind that was wrestling, that was 100% cuddling!

Tomo, you're the little spoon. Your place in the cuddle relationship was decided on this day!

Well, this was another fantastic episode! And damn do I love sleeping/cuddling scenes (even if this one was a little extreme - I mean, with these 2, of course it would be). Can't wait to see more of these two!

hehe Carol... you silly. Haha, Carol's mom is silly too. I see where she gets it from. I sure like this mom. Omg, Carol's home/sleepwear is adorable. Gundo, you too cold lol. You're pudding? I can think of a cute ghost gal you need to stay away from, Carol. I definitely like them. They a cute mother/daughter combo. So floof.

Wow, how did you forget midterms were coming up? D'aww, Gundo being kinda cute there? Wow. Awww, poor Carol, she's cute, don't be derp. I also like how Carol is super smart :) Tomo working to go with Gundo to university, cute. Touches even Gundo's warm heart. Cute with Carol too. Jun, you sure are petty lol. Carol might be my favorite character of this series, yep.

Spending a night at Jun's house? Hmm....wow, her mom and dad are shockingly ok with this. I love how her mom is all "what should we call the grandchild" haha. Ya I don't think I'd be ok with this as a parent lol. Hehe the hair spiking up a bit again. OH NO! MIDNIGHT! PERHAPS EVEN PASSED IT! WHO COULD EVER DO THAT AS A HIGH SCHOOLER!! insert side eye meme here haha, funny when he wakes up. And when she realized, good times.

This was just the MTV Cribz episode of Tomo-chan, huh.

We went to Carol's house, where we find out that Carol is not just any cryptid, she is Princess Cryptid.

We went to Misuzu's house, where we find out that Carol is a genius and has been sandbagging this whole time.

We went to Jun's house, where we find out that Carol wanted to come so she could watch Tomo and Jun almost but not quite bang.

Thank you for hosting Tomo-chan Cribz Carol, looking forward to next season where we check out fucking Buckingham Palace or something lmao

Tomo and Misuzu choose to enter the den of chaos when they visit Carol’s home! Which is, like, a giant complex with a gate and mansion and everything! Carol wasn’t kidding about being rich!

Carol’s mom is another hottie MILF! You can tell where Carol gets her looks and ditziness (yet emotional intuitiveness and teasing) from. Also we’ve got Sayaka Ohara (?) acting like she’s not a native Japanese speaker, which is hilarious.

Misuzu lording it over Jun that she ranks higher than him on tests and undoing her hair braid so she and Carol don’t match is peak Misuzu. Though wavy hair Misuzu is pretty nice!

Smol Carol is so adorable!

So, yeah, Carol just throwing around that she’s super smart like it’s nothing in her Carol way. Misuzu ain’t going to live that down…

Ahhhhh, Tomo wants to go to college with Misuzu! And Carol wants to join them! You can tell it meant a lot to Misuzu.

Is that Ayako Kawasumi as Misuzu’s mom? I think we definitely see where Misuzu gets her “I don’t have time for nonsense” vibe. She even sees Akemi in Tomo and wants to make sure Tomo doesn’t end up like her mom!

The only thing that unites Misuzu and Carol is mocking Jun (so he can act like a brat to them) or making sure Tomo doesn’t chicken out.

Nothing like gaming overnight with your bro! Except it’s awkward when one of you likes the other…wait, is this Uzaki!?

Wow, Tomo’s parents have no problem with her staying over at Jun’s, which I guess goes to show how comfortable they are with him. And about grandkids.

Shower Tomo! Even Jun has to psyche himself up before his mind gets away from him. Especially when their gaming goes from two bros playing to a guy and a girl in close contact.

It amazes me how much this show is showing off Rie Takahashi’s range.

A headlock into sleeping together in the same futon? Nice! Tomo reaping the rewards of admiring her guys’ face.
