Fumita YanagidaTomo-chan is a Girl! Vol. 1

Tomo is super cute. I always fall hard for tomboys. Always have, probably always will. But it doesn't mean I don't like the various... accoutrements... of the female body. Like Tomo-chan, pretty much all the girls I've been with were top heavy. Heck pretty much every girl I've been with has short hair, knows how to fight, doesn't like "girly" things, and most have never worn make-up. I think a girl who has natural beauty shouldn't sully her looks with clown makeup. I like my girls cute, tough, large-chested, rough, & not a sissy. Tomo seems like that kind of gal. You men out there, listen up! There's an old song that goes "Make an ugly woman your wife, and you'll be happy for the rest of your life." If I could be so bold as to change it, to this, "Make a tomboy your wife, & you will be in Heaven the rest of your life" Jun is a total fool (or is he...?) For not seeing the sweet, sexy, loyal, & tough-as-nail gal that literally hangs on him (I have my doubts, I suspect there's more going on in Jun's head then we are being shown)... time will tell. Art, kind of rough, but it fits well. Dialogue, excellent. Very real. Characters, believable, likeable, relatable.

When this series started popping up on Amazon, I became interested. It suggested something that would be on the lines of Hana-Kimi, Mayo Chiki! and Ouran High School Host Club, all favorite series and all involving cross-dressing girls. This one gives us Tomo, a tomboy quick to use her fists and karate (her family's business is a dojo) and Jun, her longtime childhood buddy. The problem is that Tomo is now developing romantic feelings for Jun, but he has trouble seeing her as a woman. Her very feminine friend Misuzu tries to act as advisor. Another past favorite series of mine is My Girlfriend Is a T-Rex and Tomo called to mind its female lead, Churio. They are both well-meaning but impulsive and not too swift upstairs. Besides the previously mentioned three, the cast includes Jun's friend Tanabe, Misaki, the president of the school's boy's karate club, Mifune and Ogawa, two girls who find themselves caught in Tomo's orbit, and Carol, a beautiful but spoiled British exchange student. Tomo-chan is a Girl! gets off to a strong start, proved very funny and I think there is a lot of potential for this series.

I used to read this series from fan scanlations sites back in my college years. Back then, it was released daily, a single page at a time, until the overall chapter was completed. I was afraid it wouldn't get picked up due to the lack of updates and moved on. I was so excited to see this series get licensed officially and pre-order it immediately.TOMO-CHAN's comedy is delivered at a fast pace with witty punchlines and over-the-top reactions from our quirky characters. Tomo Aizawa has a childhood friend, Junichiro Kubota. They both grew up together in the same neighborhood, and in time she developes a crush on him. Unfortunately, Tomo is quite the tomboy, and Jun always tends to confuse her as one of the guys. And so begin the hilarious hijinks of Tomo's desire for Jun to see her as a woman.I really love this series. It has great comedic moments, and a loveable cast of quirky characters. I highly recommend you to check it out!

Wonderful romance, where the main characters, although close friends, who spend most of their time in each others' company, and clearly want to take their relationship to the next level, but through unfortunately poor communication skills, manage only to convey the exact opposite of their true feelings to each other. Very funny, insightful and wise.The secondary characters are distinctive and well drawn, especially Gundou, who as Tomo's best friend, adds more than a touch of unfiltered honesty and a devious ingenuity, both of which are quite refreshing and welcome.Overall, love this series and can't recommend it enough.

I'm a very picky reader when it comes to manga, and even more so when it comes to buying physical manga. That being said, Tomo-chan is one of the most infectious, charming, and "I'll stop reading after one more chapter" series I've read in modern memory. I can't really comment on the story other than to say it's slice-of-life high school romance done in a way that feels fresh and consistently delivers on the comedy. Seven Seas has a good track record when it comes to localizing manga. Their individual volumes are slightly smaller than traditional manga books from Shonen, but this makes them more comfortable to hold and easier to read in my opinion. They are literally the same size as the Dragon Maid books that Seven Seas has released if you need a reference point.

I'd heard about this series for years, and i loved the idea behind it. Once i finally got it, i did like it. But. It does have problemsThe comedy can get pretty repeditive at times, same punchlines and set ups happen a lot. I get it's the premise but if i know what the joke is gonna be, it's not funny.The premise also defeats itself multiple times. The guy clearly notices her femminine appeal, and he acts several times like he does care about her in that way. So....series over? I guess.The art is also iffy, with weirdly inked areas and bulky lines.That being said it IS a good time overall. A little pricey for a short-ish book but still. It's a recommendation, just not of perfection

Tomo-chan is a girl is a great story about childhood friends. In this volume, you see what Tomo does as she tries to express to her longtime childhood friend Jun. And how others in school see her, as well as her best friend Misuzu. Great start to a series that will more than likely have lots of great comedic moments. I gotta say this, I really look forward to reading future volumes!

Excellent!! Gradually I will complete the collection and wait for the release of Nendoroid😁

Me gustó mucho

A very enjoyable read. Would read again!

Très plaisant à lire, riche en quiproquos et situations drôles. J'ai hâte de découvrir le volume suivant !
