Tomo-chan is fun, but has a sort of Nisekoi thing of everybody getting their characters settled in early and then just sitting there. We all want things to progress, but the mangaka still has stories in mind to tell before then.

Plus, the central conceit of Tomo-chan is "Tomo confessed to Jun and he didn't get it." If things actually progressed past that, the whole thing would have to be retooled. It seems to be doing okay in its niche right now; if the audience gets tired of it, maybe then they'll go for broke.

Next strip: Tomo and Jun bust in, Misaki stands bloody but triumphant atop a pile of villains with Carol clinging to his leg, Frank Frazetta-style.

Mostly I'm trying to figure out what Carol's doing in the first place. I mean yes she's all muddy but there's a time and a place. "Street fight's going on around me. Great time to strip down!"

Especially with Misuzu just sitting there like welp.

Jun should start a support group with Nishikata from "We Can't Study" and Manabu from "Amano Megumi wa Suki Darake" titled "Help, I'm Attracted to My Childhood Friend and This is Bad for Some Stupid Reason."

I can sort of see his point. If the person you fell in love with could take it or leave it, and would act exactly the same no matter how it worked out, it's not exactly great for you, is it?

Though perhaps he should have this exact conversation, you know, WITH CAROL.

Heh, missed that second page.

Carol: Now we can get married and you can take care of the three of us!

Misaki: Yeah, I -- wait, three?

Carol: Yeah, didn't I tell you, I'm pregnant with Jun's baby!

Misaki: *INFINITE RAGE MODE*

For once I agree with Jun, what?

I think he's saying he doesn't want Tomo to follow him blindly. He's proud of her, but he doesn't want his approval to drive her to do something she doesn't want to.

It's also possible he's concerned that she's so strong she can only fight men.

Hard to tell, with that phrasing.

"I can't believe a person that I didn't even realize was a girl until earlier this morning doesn't want to date me." - An idiot

Jun's just having a hard few days here. His best friend is suddenly a girl, he touches said friend's boob, she says she doesn't mind if it's him, he hears her laughing off any chance of them dating, then he sees her interacting with other boys normally.

For an awkward teenager, this is like a tsunami of mixed emotions.

Misuzu seems to have a bit of a crush on both participants, actually. The feelings would be a little complicated to have the both people you want to be with want to be with each other instead.
