Tomo-chan Is a Girl! (en)
Tomo Aizawa is a tomboyish high school girl who has been in love with her childhood best friend, Junichiro Kubota, for years. The problem is that Junichiro is oblivious to her feelings because he still sees her as just one of the guys. The story follows Tomo's daily attempts to get Junichiro to see her as a woman and to confess her love, often leading to comedic misunderstandings and slapstick humor. Readers enjoy the series for its lighthearted, fast-paced romantic comedy, the endearing and determined protagonist, and the sweet, slow-burn payoff of watching Tomo’s persistence slowly chip away at Junichiro’s dense exterior.
