As of January 2022, a grand total of eight complete Tankobon volumes of the Tomo-chan Is A Girl manga have been published in Japan. As the hype for Tomo-chan is a Girl! is intensifying worldwide, devoted fans of the series are curious to learn how things end between Tomo and Jun in the original manga series of Fumita Yanagida. Fans of Tomo-chan is a Girl! would be delighted to learn that the duo did indeed get together at the end of the manga series, but the road wasn't easy for either of them.

The Gadfly: Misuzu and Carol each troll their friends in very different ways. Carol in particular, since its difficult to tell if she's being sincere, dense, or trolling. There’s sort of a hurried feel to Yanagida’s art, but it’s still attractive and really works for emphasizing both the comedy and the pathos of the situations the characters find themselves in. Whether they’re trying to navigate sharing an umbrella or discussing karate, the characters interact with another naturalness to sell the humor of the situations.” – Rebecca Silverman, via ANN.

It’s “Tomo-chan is a Girl” by Yanagida Fumita! The anime will air soonish, so I figured it was time, again, to revisit the series.

Tomo-chan Is a Girl! delivered a funny and sweet school romance that defies stereotypes. Now that the anime is over, many fans are craving more content. If you're not sure where to start reading Tomo-chan Is a Girl! after the anime, we're here to help. Welcome to the probable 'successor' of other great 4-koma that were made into full anime such as the likes of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Girls, Watamote and Mikakunin de Shinkoukei. One of the Boys: Tomo's always been like this, which is why she's having trouble getting Jun's attention now, he just thinks of her as his best bud. It's hinted early on that Jun forces himself to think of Tomo as a guy, with later chapters all but confirming that he does so to prevent their relationship from changing. Anytime he finds himself thinking of her as a girl, he gives himself a Dope Slap. Attractive Bent-Gender: The two gyarus note that when Tomo wears pants along with more androgynous clothing, she passes off for a very handsome young man. Even more so When Tomo is the prince for the Cinderella play; the entire female class goes wild.

Tomo tries her best to be open with Jun, but ends up using violence almost every time to cover up her shyness and embarrassment. Jun is hilariously dense when it comes to Tomo and romance in general, but he has a good heart and always means well. Tomo's best friend aka the MVP, Misuzu, is a cool type of girl, one that you'd mistake for a sadist in the beginning but find out that she's more than just cold glares and petty insults. There's a whole bunch of other fantastic characters that make up the pretty amusing cast. The comedy is pretty solid and the romance is also quite well done, all in all it is a pretty charming manga.
