The romance part of this is pretty take it or leave it but Misuzu and Carol are amazing.

Hahaha! Aw come on, I can't tell you everything right away! That would make for a boring story, don't you think?

Keep at it Tanabe, maybe you reach her someday. Cheering for this as much as Tomo's

Two episodes left? This one felt like a bit of a step back after Jun fully realized he was catching feelings last week and sang the ED song

Lipstick Apathy
They've been blast mining their way through the comic, which is good because it spun its wheels for a while. They're also strategically skipping a couple things that sucked. If they skip that last lovely arc, we could have a drat solid adaption on our hands.

I still think they should have tag-teamed their way through that final arc. The author spent thousands of pages on showing how nobody actually cares that Tomo is tomboyish except Gundo (who's really just teasing, carrying a grudge against Jun, and/or reacting poorly to the fact that sometimes she's attracted to her). This could have ended with her demonstrating once and for all that this aspect of her is a strength, not a weakness or anything to apologize for. Either skip it or fix it, imo.

I read this manga in a couple of days, and I've been keeping up with the show. My only complaint is that there isn't more

So is that how the manga ends or does it keep going after this? Or did this show make several leaps to the important bits and that's the whole story?

Years since I read it, but it goes on for a bit at least, they throw in a final contrived obstacle of Tomo's dad not accepting they can date unless Jun can 'prove his worth'.

There's one more ep of the show left too, even though this ep seemed like an ending.

That does sound contrived I thought they'd established that her dad is fine with anything as long as it doesn't involve him standing up to Akemi.

yeah i was wondering what they could do for a last episode because this seemed like a pretty clean ending

Manga ending is:
- Jun asks Tomo's parents for permission to date her (because he is a goober)
- Tomodad demands that Jun prove his worth in a fight first (because he loves stereotypical martial arts drama)
- Tomo is pissed off at both of them
- Jun eventually challenges Tomodad (with Tomo waiting on deck to also challenge if Jun gets himself beat down)
- Tomodad fights with big intentional openings that Jun is too risk-adverse to go for
- Eventually he does take a swing and there's a metaphor about life
- Tomodad calls one solid hit good enough

of all the romcom situation tropes, i really hate the cinderella or romeo/juliet play one at the cultural festival. along with 'pretending to be boyfriend/girlfriend'

Misuzu looks so different in episode 12 without that thing in the her hair

Did another studio assist with the finale? The art looks a little different but not in a bad way, maybe it's just the result of more time and budget

What was cut from the manga, I remember another short date besides the karaoke and xmas ones, and a small arc with basketball where the other guys in the class were gonna use it as an excuse to touch tomo. I think a lot of Tanabe stuff got cut but can't remember any specifics
