Ok I read all of tomo-chan. It's good, but I really wouldn't want to read just one page at once.

Wait wait, I didn't get the memo. What is wrong with this manga? I mean, besides it being kind of "potato-chip-y" sorta romcom junk food, with occasional moments, it's pretty non-objectionable?

So I guess if you wanted to calculate how glacial the pace is, you could map out how many 1k+ page chat threads it's taken us to get to the point where Tomo and Jun go on what they won't acknowledge is a first date

for a manga with one page per chapter, it seems reasonable for someone to post it every day and spark casual discussion. it's not like there hasn't been a thread used exactly for this purpose for months *is bagged over the head and shoved into a van*

I like Carol because she's the only character in this manga who doesn't really fit any existing manga character stereotypes. Misuzu is cool, but she's also a relatively standard "acerbic ice queen" type character, while I can't really think of any clear comparisons for Carol.

Ditzy character who is actually really smart or perceptive is also an archetype

He can be a bro sometimes, but it feels like he reinforces Tomo's idiocy instead of actually being a buddy/love interest that helps her improve as a person, especially since he puts her on a pedestal.

That seems like the point

Namtab
Feb 22, 2010

It's less that he sees tomo as a guy, it's that tono is both his best friend and represents the ideal of what jun wants to be. At this point he's becoming more aware of her as a woman and that he may not just think of her as a friend, but he's scared to risk their friendship so he's sticking with what works (and at this point being a bit wilfully obtuse).

Also the manga seems to be following a school year and they've not long got past the summer break, so I imagine there won't be a huge change until after the Christmas events.

I'm gonna make a shonen/ fantasy manga and that's gonna be the premise. The MC is unerringly blunt about everything. They have a crush on someone? As long as they're not in the middle of a fight, that gets brought up to them.

After fighting giant spiders with poisonous hand-shaped stingers, it's hard to go back to 'Oh no but what if they don't like me? :cry: I'm taking this crush to my death bed!'

A great premise hindered by being gaijin manga
