Manga Match 85 Tomo-chan is a Girl

Well, to anyone that looks at the MAL page and sees that this manga is over 900 chapters...jokes on you. Each chapter is only a page long so it'd moreso in the 4-koma style rather than in actual 35 page or so chapters.

{Spoilers, but it's a pretty short read so there's not too much to say}

Honestly I followed this on and off throughout its publication. Mostly because the chapters were so short and after a while I just found myself gravitating towards other things. However! Because I'm a completionist I just had to finish it and now here we are.

The story follows this clumsy tomboy named Tomo who seems a little rough around the edges. I mean that she has very little self-awareness and is wayyyyy too eager to have competitions and fight because her father owns a martial arts dojo and has taught her since she was young. She has a childhood friend (fave trope!!!) Junichirou who also goes to the dojo. The story loosely follows their developing feelings for one another. It's mostly Tomo pursuing Junichirou at first because he's dumb and only sees her as a sparring partner and friend. Hehe obviously things get more interesting as time goes on with an epic battle at the end.

Interspersed are stories about other characters such as Carol who is actually my favorite. She looks like a dumb airhead, but she's actually a savage I swear. And if you like kuudere girls that're also savage that basically sums up Tomo's other friend Misuzu.

Tomo, Misuzu and Carol honestly make the best trio. Name a more iconic trio, I'll wait.

There's nothing else I can really say. Sorry, I'm just not really good at writing about comedy manga and anime. Just trust me when I say that it's good and go ahead and read it!
