If Tomo just confessed her love again like in the first issue, I'm pretty sure Jun would get it now

hey guys, you ever notice jun is kind of dense?

I don't think it's really denseness. Jun still idolizes Tomo and doesn't think himself on the same level as her, so he shuts down any potential romantic thoughts.

Tomo, however, is dumb as gently caress

Say what you will about the Garfield jokes, out of all the online Tomo discussions I've ever seen, this thread by far went the longest before somebody said "You guys should see the gross porn the author did, it's so hosed up lol if you want the URL I have it bookmarked"

Maybe this will lead into Tomo thinking seriously about what she wants out of her relationship with Jun, and then sitting down with him and having a conversation about it.

Hey, she's thinking seriously about the possibility of a relationship with Jun, instead of just crushing on him. And she's realized that he's changed too. That's not literally no progress.

It's foreshadowing! Back at the beginning, Tomo tried to grow her hair out to be more feminine, but she didn't know that you need to cut your hair even if your growing it out, so she just looked like a vagrant. But now Carol is here. With Carol's guidance, Tomo's attempts to become more feminine will be more successful.

On the one hand, I wouldn't be surprised to find out Carol has compiled psych dossiers on all her pals.

On the other hand, that's more Misuzu-tier behavior. Carol doesn't need to put that much effort to control her friends' lives.

All of Carol's friends are really simple and really stupid. Carol's special ability of secretly being of normal intelligence is all she needs

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.

I'm starting to change my thinking on that. He's put Tomo on a pedestal, yeah, but I think it's more that he's got just really lovely self esteem. Jun is measuring himself against his inflated image of Tomo, a standard he'll never be able to meet. He's not being fair to Tomo because he's not seeing her as she is, but I think he's being less fair to himself.

Before the actual relationship to happen, they have to wrap up the DS thing. There was that whole flashback about how Jun and Tomo met and Jun giving Tomo his DS and saying he would take it back when he beat her. But he's never even challenged her because he still has his unrealistic image of Tomo he developed during that flashback. Jun has to fight Tomo and win

Not anime or whatever, but when pretty much this exact thing happened in Breaking Bad I was yelling in my head at Walt to swallow his loving pride.

Yeah, the point of that was to make Walt's actions completely inexcusable and prove that he wasn't motivated by his family like he said

I believe the manga has been clear the Jun is now stronger than Tomo -- except for a possible mental block that either makes him think he is weaker or makes him unable to win against her. The idea is that he is objectively the strongest between the two of them, but he is unable to realize that fact himself.

Also, Jun truly appears to not be able to view Tomo as a female. This fact is why he needs to die one day in the far future alone and childless.

I think Tomo at one point said that Jun is stronger than her now just because of the gender difference. I think that's why Jun defeating Tomo is what needs to happen for the relationship to go forward. It would satisfy the set up of the flashback arc, and it would force Jun to understand that they aren't kids anymore, he's a man and she's a woman.

Honestly that makes sense? He's stronger than her but she's faster and more technically skilled, so in a match where it's about landing hits for points she wins. In a brawl where he can apply his superior muscle to the problem he's going to have the advantage.

Yeah, she's been doing martial arts since she was a baby. But they're old enough that he's going to be physically stronger, not to get all :biotruths: about it

tomo has the normal reaction there, where the ds is just an object she can return at any time and not the totem for the Most Important Promise.
