Tomoko Kuroki is a legendary high-school girl with over fifty years' worth of romantic experience and over one hundred male admirers... in the world of otome gaming, that is. In the real world, she is an unattractive, lonely, creepy fifteen-year-old Otaku schoolgirl with severe self-esteem issues, so much so that she avoids all contact with her classmates.When she enters her first year of high school expecting her life to suddenly become cool like it does for protagonists in manga and games, she is stunned when absolutely nothing changes. This forces her to take a hard look at herself for the first time, and resolve to become more sociable and popular. Hilarity Ensues.No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! (Watashi ga Motenai no wa DÅ� Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui!), also known by its official shorthand "WataMote", is a Cringe Comedy manga published online by Nico Tanigawa (actually two people). The series initially took off due to developing a cult following on /a/ and /v/, turning into something of an Anglophone darling as a result. Later on, it developed into something of a Coming of Age Story, focusing on Tomoko's relationships with the friends she does manage to make, resulting in a large cast of oddballs.Unlike its protagonist, the series is quite popular, with the third volume selling more than 170,000 copies in the first month. In addition to an anthology and a fanbook, in January 2013 a Spin-Off, No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault My Friend's Not Popular. (Watashi no Tomodachi ga Motenai no wa DÅ� Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui.), began running in Monthly Joker. It starred (and was written from the point-of-view of) Yuu Naruse, Tomoko's best friend from middle school who crossed the threshold into adolescence far more gracefully than she did.note The spinoff is reprinted in the digest collections of the main series. The spinoff concluded after 28 chapters.A novel anthology was released in 2019, dedicated to the much-expanded cast of characters that Tomoko had gotten herself acquainted with since her second year. A second novel anthology was released in 2021.As a sort-of-milestone special, Volume 18 of the series included a special edition that finally came with official character bios as well as What If? stories featuring what would happen if Tomoko befriended different cliques of girls during her first year. Volume 20, which was a milestone special (marking 20 volumes and 10 years of serialization), included a special edition with the results of a character popularity poll as well as stories following up on the What Ifs.The series has been licensed by Yen Press. A one-cour anime adaptation premiered in July 2013. An OVA was released in October 2014.The anime can be legally viewed at Crunchyroll for people living in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. It's also available on Hulu in the US.See also Choku!, an earlier manga by the same authors, and Kuzu to Megane to Bungaku Shoujo (Nise), also by the same authors. For tropes belonging to the movie Tomoko makes for her third year cultural festival see A Youth Like This.

Beach Bury: In the Beach Episode (read below), Tomoko lets both Yuu and Kotomi bury her on the beach. Unfortunately, they load so much sand on her that she can't move, but by the time she realizes this, they've left to go get some drinks. They take a long time getting back, and Tomoko is stuck lying there getting dehydrated because she's too timid to just ask someone to dig her out. When Yuu and Kotomi finally do return, she buries them both as revenge.

Headphones Equal Isolation: Tomoko puts on her headphones in order to ignore Yuu after the latter reveals that she has a boyfriend. They seem to be Bland-Name Product Beats by Dr. Dre as well. She wears headphones again at the end of chapter 39 so she wouldn't have to listen to her classmates calling things "Kuroki-level" bad. Yuri also very frequently has earbuds in, between classes and during other times when people around her are socializing. The exception being when she's specifically talking to Tomoko or Mako. Likely her way of avoiding dealing with other people.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: A non-romantic version of this occasionally occurs between Tomoko and Tomoki. However, chapter 35 has a subversion: Tomoki reveals that he isn't angry at Tomoko for forgetting to send his application to his chosen high school, and for a moment it looks like a setup for "Aww, look! They really do love each other" moment... but then Tomoko ruins it by whining that she got lectured by their mother because of the event, and blaming Tomoki for it because he didn't say so sooner. Tomoki promptly kicks her out of his room.

comment
Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl: Kii rigs an old scarecrow to look like a classic onry� to scare her cousin. It works amazingly well; it scares Tomoko so much that she completely empties her bladder. During a video conference study session with Yuri, Tomoko deliberately makes herself look like one of these as a prank. She messes her hair up, hangs it in front of her face, and moves in close to her camera so that the screen on Yuri's phone is completely dominated by Tomoko's baggy eye glaring at her. It actually gets a jump out of the normally stoic girl.

Heroic BSoD: Played for Laughs in chapter 12 when Tomoko falls into a nearly-comatose funk after getting in trouble with her parents. What kind of trouble exactly? Getting caught buying a Yandere CD with their credit card. Done again in chapter 13, where Tomoko has one when she finds out that a caterpillar fell on her head, and it gets worse when Yuu accidentally crushes it while it's still on Tomoko's head.

Foreshadowing: In chapter 51, Tomoko laments in her mind about Hina Nemoto's hair looking like an anime character's. As it turns out, Hina is an otaku, and dreams of being a voice actress. Later on she says she hates violent anime like "Attack on Kabaneri" which may, or may not be true. Hina being a Closet Geek might have been foreshadowed as early as chapter 20, where she got her classmates some costumes for the cultural festival; one of the classmates noted that the costumes look like they're from an anime.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work, since the teacher immediately spots her and asks her why she didn't have her book, nor asked the guy sitting next to her to share his.

Gone Horribly Right: Sometimes, Tomoko's plans do succeed. Just not in the way that she likes. In chapter 50, Tomoko decides to stay in school until dusk so that she can attract someone's attention by looking pretty and mysterious in the waning light, as is typical for a lot of anime protagonists. It works...she catches the attention of her homeroom teacher, who thinks Tomoko was interested in the after-school tennis matches Tomoko tries to have her group for the class trip decided for her. When she tells Ogino she'd like to fill in an empty space for a group, the teacher obliges her...by making Tomoko the leader for other leftover students.

The Cameo: Special chapters released after the spinoff's initial run tend to feature characters from the expanded cast of the main manga, like Yuri, Minami, Mako, Ucchi, Asuka, Masaki, Akane, Hina, and Nagi. Sometimes they're the subject of the comic's current conversation or gag, and other times they're just background fodder.

Model Scam: Tomoko sees a seedy character approaching women with this offer when she goes to Shinjuku, which freaks her out. Luckily, he doesn't actually seem to notice her at all, but it nevertheless serves as the first sign that she's getting in over her head going to this place by herself.

Wrong Genre Savvy
 No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! (Manga) / int_20a14df0
comment
The entirety of chapter 50 revolves around Tomoko being Wrong Genre Savvy, as she tries to give a proper start to her "story" by sitting alone in an empty classroom at dusk, trying to look mysterious and beautiful, and waiting for some Ordinary High-School Student to find her. This naturally does not work, which makes her briefly contemplate whether she even has the qualities needed to become a protagonist of a story. In the end she does get "found" by her P.E. teacher Ogino, who misunderstood the situation and thought that all this time Tomoko was watching her schoolmates playing tennis and wanted to play herself but lacked the courage to say so.

Creepy Cockroach: In chapter 34, a giant cockroach appears in the middle of class and causes a panic among the students, who scream and climb onto their desks to get away from it. Seeing an opportunity to earn everyone's admiration, Tomoko stands her ground and stomps it. It doesn't go quite the way she hopes though; rather than being thankful for removing the horrid bug, they become creeped out by her and move their desks further away.

Condescending Compassion: In chapter 48 of the manga Tomoko expresses this to Komiyama after finding her having lunch in the bathroom. Kii-chan's attempts to help Tomoko, albeit unintentionally. While her intentions are well meaning, it's a little too obvious that she also looks down on Tomoko as something of a charity case, which usually leaves Tomoko feeling more resentful and put-off than anything else.

Quest for Sex: A rare female example. Much of Tomoko's motivation for becoming popular (and getting a boyfriend) is in part so that she can lose her virginity. The desire to get a boyfriend fades over time, and by the time she gets her own circle of friends, she doesn't seem all to interested in getting laid anymore. She remains a massive pervert, however.

Unwanted Assistance: How Tomoko feels about her teacher, Ogino, questioning her about her lack of friends and trying to help her make friends, as well as about Kii's attempts to take care of her. Later, in chapter 95, Akari has this reaction to her friend Sayaka defending her by arguing with Tomoko (in public) whether Akari's interest in Tomoki's dick makes her "pure-hearted" or not. In chapter 117, Ucchi is not happy when Yuri helps her leave the train (unintentionally ruining Ucchi's plan to meet Tomoko) after Ucchi lied to Yuri that her legs had gone numb.

She tries going to a class party, but skips it due to her anxiety getting the better of her, falls asleep while leaving a pervy game and massager running for her father to find, spends three hours doing naughty things to a plushy before realizing Yuu spent that time having fun with her friends, and misconstrues a few things with her brother that leave her thinking he's lusting for her.

Chocolate of Romance: Chapter 47 reveals that back in middle school Kotomi wanted to give Tomoko's brother Tomoki a Valentine's Day chocolate. Unfortunately, she picked Tomoko as the one to tell this to Tomoki, and it all went downhill from there. She tries it again in Chapter 113, and this time actually gets the chocolate to him. Unfortunately, some hilarious mishaps cause the chocolate to partially melt and fuse together into a decidedly phallic shape. Averted in the case of Tomoko during the Valentine's Day arc. She gives and receives chocolate to and from her various acquaintances for platonic reasons. Not-so-averted in the case of Ucchi, who went out of her way to leave Tomoko a surprise batch of chocolate in her locker.

Sick Episode: Chapter 25 is mostly about Tomoko's brother getting a cold and Tomoko pretending to nurse him while hoping that she will catch the illness from him and won't have to go to school for a few days. This, predictably, backfires on her: she does get an infection from her brother, but it takes a few days to develop and she only starts exhibiting symptoms at the very beginning of her weekend.

Artifact Title
 No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! (Manga) / int_2b7d29e1
comment
Artifact Title: On multiple fronts. The series title itself. The manga used to be about Tomoko's attempts to make herself popular, or at least make friends, and how she was her own worst enemy in that regard. Over the course of her second year in high school, she mellowed out a bit and moved away from that mindset in favor of just having a normal high school life, and has since made a circle of friends and acquaintances to regularly socialize with. Tomoko still has no boyfriend and is by no means the Dude Magnet she set out to be at the beginning, but she's not really all that concerned with either anymore, making the title of the manga even more outdated. Chapter titles (with exception of the title of chapter 131) still go by the idiosyncratic format of "Since I'm Not Popular, I'll [Subject]." This was originally done to illustrate Tomoko's latest harebrained scheme to improve her popularity. The titles aren't true anymore because Tomoko no longer does anything in relation to her lack of popularity. Chapters are typically referred to as "Mournings" or "Fails" depending on the translation, often because they involved things going hilariously bad for Tomoko in one way or another. After the school trip, Tomoko in general stopped suffering so much humiliating defeat, and actually starting seeing some success in her endeavors. Usually, when things go bad, they do so for other people.

Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest: While Tomoko acts plenty perverted towards anyone she finds physically attractive, like Yuu, she can't bring herself to say or do anything lewd around Asuka, who she's developed a crush on and put on a pedestal. Even when Asuka outright offers to let Tomoko grope her breasts, Tomoko can't do it.

Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomoko had this dynamic going with her best friend, Yuu. Tomoko was the tomboy with her interest in video games and militant subjects and her generally more exuberant (and rude) personality, while Yuu was more sweet and feminine. This became even pronounced once they entered high school; Tomoko was still as tomboyish as ever, while Yuu started dressing more stylishly.

Accidental Pervert: In bonus chapter 27.5 Tomoko follows the Student Council President Megumi trying to greet her, only to end up accidentally witnessing a blow of wind lifting Megumi's skirt. In Chapter 38 Tomoko accidentally flashes some children while wearing a skirt. Played with in chapter 74. Tomoko accidentally starts groping her classmate Yoshida while trying to wake her up, but does not stop when she realizes what she's doing. Even though she ended up punched by Yoshida, she seems to remember the incident fondly, and brags about it to Tomoki in chapter 134. In the second episode, Tomoko mentally shames herself for accidentally glimpsing up the skirt of a girl walking up the stairs in front of her. Every interaction Tomoko has with Ucchi. Every single one. Also most of Tomoki's interactions with Yoshida, including an accidental chest grope and walking in on her showering.

Episode 11 also ends on this note, with Tomoko getting a hug from the Student Council President while dressed in the mascot costume. While this scene was also in the manga and was a thrown-bone moment for Tomoko there too, it's an even bigger one here as it happens after Tomoko faces constant crushing misery for two episodes in a row, with episode 10 in particular dialing back on the comedy and playing her loneliness for drama. It applies on a meta level as well; the credit sequence features Tomoko walking home with her balloon in hand, suffering no humiliations along the way, and to the tune of a more upbeat and hopeful song.

Evolving Credits: The standard ending credits sequence is sometimes modified or replaced to reflect the episode's events, with new songs to go with it. Done at the start of episode 10. With the new school term, Tomoko's seat is reassigned from the back corner towards the front center of the classroom. After distressing about it for a while, she does an Art Shift, screams, and then transitions into the opening credits.

Lap Pillow: Asuka loves letting Tomoko rest her head on her lap whenever she notices the latter getting sleepy, with the first instance happening when she notices the shorter girl nodding off on the train. She claims she just likes treating Tomoko like the younger sibling she never had, though it's ambiguous if that's her reason for doing it, and it's clear that Tomoko gets a certain thrill out of it. During the study camp arc, Tomoko returns the favor by letting Asuka rest her head on her lap to help her recover from a nosebleed, and the moment marks the point where their friendship deepens enough to start referring to each other by nicknames.

Naturally, she offers Tomoko some food she prepared; Tomoko compares its taste to that of pig food, then thinks it insulting to pigs and revises her opinion to industrial waste and actually pukes after eating it. Tomoko calls it good at first to avoid offending the girl, then out of spite once she finds out the girl was planning on making more for a boy. Mike later does the same for Minami, offering her some food she prepared, and once again sending the girl to the bathroom to barf it all up.

Nico Tanigawa drew her eating spaghetti for the licensed version of the manga as a thank you for the people who made the manga popular overseas.◊ After chapter 162 depicted a scene where a slip of paper draped over Yuri's nonplussed face, fanart of her as a jiangshi became popular. Then in October 2020, as part of a Halloween-themed art exhibit, Nico Tanigawa released an image of the girls all dressed up in costumes...and sure enough, Yuri was a jiangshi.

Kotomi disagrees and claims that such a good person is in fact right with them - thinking about Yuu, but Tomoko thinks Kotomi is complimenting her.

("Who the hell schedules a cartoon like that in such an early time slot? Even elementary schoolers couldn't watch that without missing school!") The show isn't named, but Tomoko's TV shows an image of Rainbow Dash — who is voiced in the dub by Tomoko's actress, Izumi Kitta.

Tone Shift
 No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! (Manga) / int_3dd3a9eb
comment
Tone Shift: The series started out as a rather episodic Cringe Comedy, but gradually turned into a more continuous Coming of Age Story. Also, early chapters (the chapters that the anime was adapted from, and thus probably influencing people's impression of the whole series the most) showed Tomoko friendless (with the exception of Yuu), isolated in her school and repeatedly failing at socializing, and switched between playing Tomoko's situation for laughs and showing that Tomoko's situation is actually depressing for her. In later chapters Tomoko gets a small circle of acquaintances and even undergoes some positive Character Development, and the humor mostly comes from the characters' interactions.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! (Manga) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Tomoko gets an idea that working at a pastry shop / bakery would help her socialize and mentions this to her mother. Gilligan Cut to disappointed Tomoko behind an assembly line in a pastry factory. One of Tomoko's ideas is to be a Kuudere, or an Emotionless Girl. However, when she tries it, no one talks to her. Tomoko remarks that this kind of character only works because someone else is willing to interact with them. A few "What If?" chapters show what would happen if Tomoko got something she wanted. One chapter shows the outcome of starting her own club at school, and another shows what would happen if Tomoko somehow managed to get into the group with the popular kids. In every case, popularity doesn't magically fix Tomoko's problems like she thought it would. In the case of the former, Tomoko is still shy and sitting in the corner despite being the club president, because she's still scared of social interaction. In the latter case, Tomoko is hit on by boys and has people trying to leech off of her popularity every day, which leads to Tomoko hating her newfound status.

In Chapter 73, Ucchi catches Tomoko in the bathroom with literally no pants on. While Tomoko was trimming her pubic hair, Ucchi was of the opinion that she was doing something a lot more inappropriate in there. She brings up the incident in Chapter 80 after Tomoko claims she just recently lost her virginity, causing the latter to immediately clam up with embarrassment.

Bittersweet Ending
 No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! (Manga) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: The last episode broadcast on TV, after showing Tomoko failing to start a conversation with Megumi, seeing a panty shot, and running away in embarrassment, ends with Tomoko alone in her room, looking up the meaning of the term "mojyo" on the Internet just like she did at the beginning of the first episode, and then suddenly exploding with laughter. In her last words in the episode she says that "it doesn't matter". It is left ambiguous whether she is responding to the Internet page she just closed - which would make the ending closer to a Bittersweet Ending as Tomoko comes to terms with her own unpopularity and decides that, unpopular or not, she doesn't care either way - or whether she is agreeing with the narrator that her story doesn't even matter, which would make it more of a Downer Ending. Either way, the ending also has a glimmer of hope in the form of Megumi saying she'll need to keep an eye on Tomoko.

Stylistic Suck: The main closing theme is sung by Tomoko's voice actress in-character amateurishly. It gives an adorable effect though. Until she starts having an emotional breakdown it's actually quite good with just a few slips. Tomoko's self-recorded voice acting comes across as flat when combined with a professional's.

Later, in chapter 83, Kotomi kicks off another "Fawlty Towers" Plot when she meets Tomoki's classmate Akari Iguchi, doesn't deny it when Iguchi assumes that Kotomi is Tomoki's sister, and tries to discourage her from romantically pursuing Tomoki by telling her that Tomoki prefers older girls. The entire chapter 91 revolves around Kotomi's attempts to sustain that lie when she runs into Tomoko and Iguchi, and later when they are joined by Tomoki himself.

Female Gaze: Whenever the subject of dicks comes up among any member of the manga's mostly female cast, expect at least one of them to start fixating on a guy's crotch and for the panel to follow suit. Though due to her bisexual tendencies, Tomoko is just as likely to ogle girls as well.

Giving Someone the Pointer Finger: In keeping with her lack of social skills, Tomoko will occasionally point at people she's speaking to for emphasis, or to indicate someone or something she's talking about, both of which are frowned on in Japan. Tomoki at one point outright tells her not to point, indicating the faux pas she's committing.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The December 2020 chapter opens up with Tomoko, Komiyama, and Yuu wearing masks because of a flu outbreak. Tomoko muses that it'd be interesting to have the characters wear masks all the time to reflect what's going on. Komiyama responds by going on a long tangent saying that manga is an escapist medium first and foremost and that there's no need to closely match up with reality, as well as saying that obscuring the characters' mouths would make it harder to tell what they're thinking. The chapter was released months into the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Yuu later befriends Komiyama in the same way.

comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: In the first chapter, Tomoki calls Tomoko "Hella Ugly"; later chapters establish him as being much more mature with a Hidden Heart of Gold. Tomoko typically wears the skirt of her school uniform long, but at the beginning of the manga, it was much shorter, stopping just above her knees. This could be chalked up to Art Evolution, but chapter 148 makes a point of showing just how uncomfortable Tomoko is wearing her skirt short at school. Tomoko in the early series made decent mention of consuming women's media alongside typical men's otaku media. By third year, it's rare for her to mention anything women related that she enjoys at all. Back in Yuu's first appearence she's described by Tomoko as having "rather average looks and rather average grades" which seems to go against later appearences where she's shown to be a complete Brainless Beauty (or at least having very poor grades) and Tomoko having lusted for her since their very first encounter. She's also impressed by Yuu smelling so good implying is the first time she notes that while in the spin-off Tomoko smelling Yuu is basically a Running Gag. Tomoko also had a tendency to Stress Vomit which rarely happens after the very few first chapters. Minor example but in Chapter 4, Yuu is briefly drawn with Emoji-like expressions, something that later on would become tightly related to Uchi and Futaki and therefore never used in other characters.

Seinfeldian Conversation: Being her very odd self, Tomoko often comes up with incredibly weird things to talk about in detail with her friends or brother. Examples include looking at a repeat of a school year as a New Game Plus, speculating how she and Nemo could work as a Yuri idol team, or noting how many men are into serious bodybuilding despite the look not being popular with girls and wondering what the female equivalent to that could be. The last one is even overheard by Sachi, who brings the exact same conversation up with her own friends.

Disproportionate Retribution: In chapter 47 Kotomi privately admits to Tomoko that she didn't like her back in middle school, immediately adding that she thinks they might get along in high school. This, combined with remembering an old misunderstanding they had, enrages Tomoko so much that in response she embarrasses Kotomi in public.

The Chikan: Was the focus of chapter 24 aptly titled, "Because I'm not popular, I'm going to get molested". In the chapter, Tomoko hears one of her classmates complain about how she was molested on her way to school and laments that no one wants to molest her. Eventually, she does get molested only to find out that her "molester" was in fact a large staff.

Not What It Looks Like: Chapter 80. When Tomoko accidentally knocks over Ucchi's luggage and spills her clothes all over the floor, she frantically tries putting them all back in before her roommate comes out of the shower and assumes she was up to something perverse. She only has enough time to get everything in save for a pair of panties, which she decides to hide under her covers and sneak back in at a later time. Unfortunately for her, Ucchi finds the panties and assumes Tomoko was up to something perverse. From that point on, she assumes everything Tomoko does is for perverse reasons. Ucchi's friend, Miyazaki, rides the train together with Tomoko, and due to how crowded it is, the latter ends up leaning real close into the former in a way that makes it look like Tomoko is groping her from behind. Ucchi sees this and assumes the worst. Then in a later chapter, Ucchi overhears Miyazaki musing about Tomoko out loud, and jumps to the conclusion that she is also crushing on the girl, to her horror.

Long-Runner Tech Marches On: A mild example, as the characters grow up and move up school years at a realistic pace, but trends are always a couple years ahead (helped by the fact that no specific years are given). Tomoko once mentions watching Mahou Shoujo Site and Persona 5: The Animation, both shows that aired in 2018, yet a flashback in a later chapter shows that last year she watched Tiger & Bunny in 2011 (the same year the manga started). Later chapters show V-tubers, which only exploded in popularity in 2020.

Christmas Special: Every year, the manga used to devote a chapter to some misadventure of Tomoko's that occured around Christmastime. These were notable in that they could take place some time before or after the manga's current point in time. The authors seem to have abandoned this tradition, as there were no Christmas specials in 2017, 2018, and 2019, but 2020 saw it return.

Eyeless Face: Appears frequently on random people. This becomes less evident in the later parts of the manga as the art becomes more detailed, though it still surfaces from time to time. Most notably, all of Minami's friends are drawn this way, even though all of them are given names and some degrees of characterization. When Sachi shows her eyes for the first time, it's treated like a Wham Shot, and they're depicted in an unsettling way to further emphasize her nasty personality.

Adaptational Attractiveness: Tomoko is a little cuter in the anime due to its less sketchy art. Also some of her more grotesque faces are toned down somewhat. While Yuu is plenty attractive in the manga, the anime gives her a much more mature and buxom figure, as well as more fanservice-laden shots.

Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: In Chapter 24, Tomoko hears a girl mention being molested on a train and starts to wonder if not being molested is a sign that she's ugly. Subverted when she thinks she is being molested, and realizes that was a dumb thing to hope for (it was actually just a wooden training spear getting caught between her legs). In chapter 87, Ucchi, the girl Tomoko had previously creeped out on the school trip, starts to panic that Tomoko might be following her around trying to perv on her. She resolves not to let it get to her during her cheer routine but ends up getting pissed when Tomoko watches another girl instead.

Coincidental Broadcast: An example that borders on a parody of the trope in chapter 28: while Tomoko is upset that it is so hard for her to talk to people and wonders what to do, an interview with a hostess working in a Red Light District is broadcast on TV. The hostess mentions that she used to be shy and had trouble talking to people, but her job made her more sociable. This gives Tomoko the idea to become a hostess herself.

Food as Characterization: Tomoko definitely thinks so when she observes what food other people select at a breakfast buffet. Of note, she observes how Yuri eats a very small, plain meal that consists only of rice porridge and fruit, Asuka eats a healthy breakfast like one would expect a professional model to have, and Fuuka stacks a massive pile of food on her tray, which forever cements her as a gorilla in Tomoko's mind.

Tomoko can only quietly fume in jealousy over this.

Esoteric Happy Ending: In-universe with "A Youth Like This" the movie Tomoko makes for the culture festival. It ends with Yuri's character getting pregnant while still in high school, Hina's dying, and Asuka's repeating the year for lack of attendance. All of these are revealed while the characters are smiling and talking about what they should eat.

Sweetheart Sipping: Ucchi tries to arrange this with Tomoko when she takes her to a cafe and orders a single large drink with two straws for them to sip from. She insists that she does this all the time with her friends because it's cheaper and it's perfectly normal for girls...and Tomoko believes her! Unfortunately, when both of them take a drink simultaneously, with Tomoko looking directly into Ucchi's eyes, the latter loses her nerve and does a Spit Take through her straw, spraying Tomoko.

Pragmatic Villainy: When a man drops a wallet containing 100,000 yen in a convenience store, Tomoko turns it over to the clerk. Not because it was the right thing to do, but because she knew she wouldn't get away with stealing it due to all the security cameras. Kotomi catches onto her motives right away.

Asuka has a bad experience at a ramen restaurant that serves excessively large bowls and causes her to throw up once she overeats. When she later goes to a school festival and is given an equally large bowl of ramen on the house (with extra garlic as well), she puts on a downcast expression that just says "Oh, No... Not Again!."

Nerds Are Virgins: Tomoko tries her damnedest to avert this trope, to no avail much to her frustration. Played With however, because while the nerdy Tomoko is indeed a virgin who couldn't get a boyfriend to save her life, it's strongly implied that many of the more sociable and popular girls in her class have just as much sexual and dating experience as she does.

Homoerotic Subtext: One wonders if Tomoko is heterosexual at all, given the way she seems to constantly fantasize about Yuu and other girls. At this point, calling her only Ambiguously Bi wouldn't be all that truthful. Pretty much every scene with Ucchi is laced with this, particularly as she grows progressively less paranoid of Tomoko and more attracted to her. Every scene between Tomoko and Asuka after the Disneyland trip. The former is outright smitten for the latter, and the way Asuka acts in turn implies the feeling might very well be mutual.

Cram School: While Tomoko was previously determined to avoid going to any of these, she voluntarily attends a week-long study camp during her third year summer break. She does this partially to improve her chances of getting into her college of choice, and partially so she can have some high school experiences that she previously skipped out on. Most of her friends end up going with her.

But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Tomoko gave Kotomi a really hard time in middle school, but while Kotomi still bears some bitter memories, Tomoko doesn't even remember her by the time they meet again. For Ucchi, the last night of the Kyoto field trip was a life-changing experience that left her with great paranoia over Tomoko that only grew more intensely over time, prompting feelings of fear, obsession, jealousy, and a whole lot of romantic attraction in her. But for Tomoko, it was just another series of embarrassing moments in her miserable life.

comment
Caught with Your Pants Down: In Tomoko's case it was being caught by her mother while redubbing a sex scene from an otome game with herself as the protagonist, but it seemed to be equally embarrassing. At the beginning of chapter 15 Tomoko is implied to narrowly avoid this as Kii entered her room while Tomoko was playing a game. We don't get to see what the game was, as it gets censored, but Tomoko is visibly unpleasantly surprised and embarrassed, blocks the game from Kii's view and tells her to knock before entering her room. Fortunately, Kii, while confused, apparently did not figure out what exactly was happening. In Chapter 73, Ucchi catches Tomoko in the bathroom with literally no pants on. While Tomoko was trimming her pubic hair, Ucchi was of the opinion that she was doing something a lot more inappropriate in there. She brings up the incident in Chapter 80 after Tomoko claims she just recently lost her virginity, causing the latter to immediately clam up with embarrassment.

Author Appeal: The author seems to be a fan of Chiba Lotte Marines, as the manga includes several references to the team and to baseball in general, and in-universe Kotomi Komiyama is a fan of the team. It is unlikely to be a coincidence that all named characters share the surnames of Chiba Lotte Marines current or former team members.

Progressively Prettier: Tomoko to a degree. For much of the manga, she looked messy, disheveled, awkward, and childish at best. At worst, she'd go into Gonk territory with some of the grotesque facial expressions she would frequently put on whenever she lost her nerve (which was all the time). While she's still pretty disheveled and awkward, she's gotten better at maintaining her composure, and her features have become leaner to the point where she looks more like a proper teenager. In chapter 140, she even manages to clean up nicely to a degree. It could just be Art Evolution in action, but it certainly serves to reflect Tomoko's growing maturity.

After getting it back through some hilarious bargaining hijinks that end with Tomoki finding Kotomi lying in his bed, the chapter closes off with Kotomi in a panic and her phone in the hands of Tomoko.

Loser Friend Puzzles Outsiders: Tomoko tends to have this effect on some members of her friends' already existing social groups. Of note is Akane and Fuuka, who are friends of Hina and Asuka respectively. Both find Tomoko very weird and creepy, and are also concerned about what effect she might be having on their mutual friends. Rather than spark hostility though, it just causes both to develop more of a morbid curiosity toward her, with Fuuka in particular developing a Sitcom Archnemesis rivalry with Tomoko. When Koharu starts hanging out with Shiki and by extension, the geeky boys she plays games with, Sachi does little to mask her contempt for them and very nearly ends her friendship with Koharu as a result. While they do patch things up, Sachi still makes a point to say she wants nothing to do with Shiki.

(literally "Whatever way I see it, it's your fault I'm not popular!"). The official English title No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! does not have a short form. Watamote is also used in English.

Performance Anxiety: Tomoko unsurprisingly suffers this. During her third year culture festival, Tomoko was supposed to do a pre-show skit with Hina for the movie they made. However, she lost her nerve before even stepping onto the stage, abruptly canceled it while still early in the routine, and skipped straight to the screening, leaving the entire audience confused.

Arc Words: "Mojyo" (喪女), which is a label used to describe a girl who is not appealing to men. While both the manga and anime begin with the scene where Tomoko looks the term up online, the latter calls back to it a lot more often in flashbacks and it plays heavily into the opening with her standing chained under spraypainted graffiti of the word, symbolizing her struggle to escape it. The series ends with her looking it up again and ultimately declaring that it doesn't matter, bringing her story to an end.

Spotlight-Stealing Squad: The Kyoto field trip squad to Tomoko, after they become regulars in the cast lineup. Many chapters focus on their interactions with either each other, with their own subgroups, or with Tomoko, with Tomoko herself largely becoming one girl in an ensemble cast, with nominal importance at least. Sachi to an even greater extent. She spent almost the entire series as a faceless extra hanging around Minami who got some minor bits of characterization. Then Minami got her own arc in which Sachi played a major role. Her popularity among the fans exploded and she very quickly started getting plots and chapters focused largely on her to the point where the later stretches of the movie/cultural festival arc seem to be focused more on her and her crush on Tomoki than Tomoko or any of her friends, some of who (like Asuka) are lucky to even get one or two lines in a chapter. She's even pulled a role reversal on Minami, who's now effectively a supporting character for her.

Gender-flipped. Tomoko really doesn't like the idea of girls dating her brother, which just adds another reason to why she's so hostile to Kotomi (and later Akari). Whether it's because she's uncomfortable with the idea of others perving over him, doesn't want to see another sign that he's more socially-capable than she is, wants him all for herself, or some combination thereof is up to interpretation.

Wacky Homeroom: Tomoko's class in her third year definitely has a lot of eccentric personalities. Besides Tomoko herself with all her issues, it includes Yuri who's arguably more socially inept than her, Masaki who's a naïve and short-tempered delinquent, Mako who gets increasingly more fussy wherever Masaki is concerned, Hina who's an oddly cheery Closet Otaku that dreams of becoming a voice actress, Asuka who has some well-hidden perverse tendencies, Shiki who's an emoji-faced Gamer Chick that excels at everything she does, Mike who's a terrible Lethal Chef that's unaware of how sickening her food is, her boyfriend who puts up with said awful food, Koharu who's a gossipy Beta Bitch with luck that's taken a heavy downturn, Kotomi who gets crazy wherever her crush is concerned, Hikari who tries and fails to keep Kotomi on a leash, Wada whose young and feminine looks make him a very convincing crossdresser, and Hatsushiba, a quiet artist that would rather focus on his art than anything else. Even Ogino, the homeroom teacher, is a pretty wacky character with how energetic and meddlesome she gets. Lampshaded by Tomoki, who's convinced that everyone in Class 3-5 is completely insane.

The Nose Knows: Tomoko has a pretty keen sense of smell (except when it comes to dealing with her own), which comes in handy when she goes looking for a hairpin her cousin drops that happens to smell like a specific brand of perfume she used previously. Unfortunately for her, Kii was treating her like a dog the entire chapter, and Tomoko only ends up making herself look even more like a dog when she drops to all fours and sniffs at the ground to search for it.

Arms Dealer: Back in middle school Tomoko had the desire to become Japan's first female dealer in illegal weaponry. By the time the main story started she apparently gave up on it, and even finds the idea embarrassing.

Later-Installment Weirdness: From the school trip arc onward, the series becomes a very different animal: a larger cast, a greater focus on character relationships, Tomoko's neuroticism being downplayed, and a generally different tone with a lesser focus on Cringe Comedy.

Potty Failure: Tomoko suffers a mild case of this in Chapter 13. After staying up late reading horror stories, she becomes too frightened to go to the bathroom alone and tries holding it in. Eventually, she resorts to waking her brother up so he can accompany her there, but admits she already peed herself a little and has to take a shower and change her clothes. Kii-chan's prank to scare Tomoko proves so effective it implicitly causes the older girl to wet herself on the spot.

Hina Nemoto seems to have the impression that she's the main character of a lighthearted Slice of Life anime, or is at least trying to engineer her school life to be that way. Too bad for her she's in a Slice of Life manga that relies on a lot of raunchy, cringe, and deconstructive comedy instead.

Actually Pretty Funny: When Tomoko, Yuu, and Kotomi hold a gift exchange to see who can buy the funniest and most useless present imaginable for Christmas, Yuu gets Tomoko a pack of condoms. Tomoko is understandably insulted by the implication, but admits it was the funniest and most impactful of the presents given that day, naming Yuu the winner of the contest.

Relative Error: A surprising number of characters, including Akari and Sachi, don't latch on to the fact that Tomoko and Tomoki are siblings, and mistake the two's snarky attitudes toward one another as signs of flirting or closeness. Which of course causes friction to develop because they see Tomoko as a rival for Tomoki's affections. Of note, Ucchi's the only one to immediately see the Strong Family Resemblance and deduce that they're brother and sister.

Aroused by Their Voice: Tomoko shows clear signs of arousal in listening to audio CDs of Yandere boys issuing abuse. She's later seen listening to a custom performance a professional voice actor made for her to similar effect, which gives her the idea to splice it together with her own voice and record her own homebrew audio erotica.

I Know Mortal Kombat: Invoked and immediately subverted in chapter 56, where Tomoko tries to pull off a pass straight from Kuroko's Basketball while playing basketball during her P.E. class. All it gets her is a sprained wrist. Tomoko tries to invoke this trope in chapter 62 when she tries to ride a bike, thinking she might have learned how to do that from watching biking anime. Needless to say, she fails. Invoked in chapter 149, when Tomoko tries to help Shizuku prepare for a table tennis match by giving her a table tennis manga to read. The manga she ends up giving her is The Ping-Pong Club, and isn't of much help.

Then she finds out that she was quite wrong...and then it swings back in the other direction during the second half, showing her newfound circle of friends to be surprisingly harem-like in personality even if they are a bit deranged like her.

comment
Anachronic Order: While events in the manga otherwise unfold in chronological order, Christmas specials are the exception and are usually inserted into the past or future of the story's current timeline. The first four take place during Tomoko's first year in high school, the next two occur in her second year, and the ones following that happen in her third year. Justified because the passage of a year in the manga does not correlate to the passage of a year in the real world. Chapter 187 is notable in that takes place a week before the events of 186 and shows glimpses of previous chapters from Koharu Minami's point of view.

Wham Episode: Chapter 189 ends up being one for Koharu Minami's story arc. The whole whole group dynamic that she has with her friends completely collapses when all the gossip-mongering they've done behind each other's backs comes to the surface. They all break apart and Koharu finally admits to herself that they weren't good people and neither was she.

Sickeningly Sweet: In-universe. In chapter 28, Tomoko and Kotomi are turned off by Yuu's gushing about how much fun she has hanging out with the two of them and wishing it would continue forever; the two are shocked that Yuu can say what they consider to be cliched anime lines with no embarrassment whatsoever.

Improbably Female Cast: Discussed in one bonus comic. Tomoko remarks that Yonkoma Schoolgirl Series typically are devoid of men, with the sole exceptions of parents (and even then it's rare) or young children. Wada is the only boy that shows up in that bonus comic precisely because he's young-looking and thus "not a threat" to the all-girl atmosphere.

There Are No Therapists: Tomoko could probably benefit from some anxiety management therapy, but of course that doesn't happen. As with most anime, this is justified, as the culture of Japan generally views the concept of therapy as weak and shameful.

The series title itself. The manga used to be about Tomoko's attempts to make herself popular, or at least make friends, and how she was her own worst enemy in that regard. Over the course of her second year in high school, she mellowed out a bit and moved away from that mindset in favor of just having a normal high school life, and has since made a circle of friends and acquaintances to regularly socialize with. Tomoko still has no boyfriend and is by no means the Dude Magnet she set out to be at the beginning, but she's not really all that concerned with either anymore, making the title of the manga even more outdated.

Throw the Dog a Bone: In episode 3, after suffering through a series of bad events, including a wind gust breaking her umbrella, Tomoko is forced to wait out a rainstorm underneath a shelter with two guys. Both she and them attempt to make small talk, but she constantly ruins it, then runs off to a nearby bathroom. When she returns, she finds out the two boys are gone, and falls asleep on the bench. Turns out the two boys left to buy umbrellas, and one of them bought one for her since he saw her broken one earlier. When she wakes up, she finds the umbrella, and then wishes that a boy would do something nice for her. While the original manga chapter was this as well, it wasn't to the same extent, as most of the bad events were taken from other chapters. Episode 11 also ends on this note, with Tomoko getting a hug from the Student Council President while dressed in the mascot costume. While this scene was also in the manga and was a thrown-bone moment for Tomoko there too, it's an even bigger one here as it happens after Tomoko faces constant crushing misery for two episodes in a row, with episode 10 in particular dialing back on the comedy and playing her loneliness for drama. It applies on a meta level as well; the credit sequence features Tomoko walking home with her balloon in hand, suffering no humiliations along the way, and to the tune of a more upbeat and hopeful song.

Nothing Is the Same Anymore: Chapter 82, which is ironically titled "I'll Go Back to My Everyday Life." It's the first day of school after the field trip, and Tomoko is convinced that she's going to go back to her lonely, listless existence. However, she keeps bumping into and interacting with the people she got to know over the course of the trip, culminating in Yuri inviting Tomoko to eat lunch with her. It marks the point in the manga where Tomoko stops being so isolated and starts learning how to regularly socialize with people.

School Festival: True to the series' high school setting, this forms the basis of a small Story Arc in chapters 19-21. Tomoko's class opts to run a cafe where everyone wears anime-themed maid costumes, but other attractions include a haunted house, a musical concert, and an art gallery from the manga club. The Cultural Festival also marks Tomoko's lowest point, as it becomes abundantly clear to her just how lonely she is, and how desperate for affection she's getting. She gets it at the very end when the Student Council President gives her a hug in a mascot costume.

This Is Gonna Suck: Whenever Kii makes an appearance, Tomoko braces herself with an attitude of resignation, as she knows her life is about to get a lot more complicated (and embarrassing). Asuka has a bad experience at a ramen restaurant that serves excessively large bowls and causes her to throw up once she overeats. When she later goes to a school festival and is given an equally large bowl of ramen on the house (with extra garlic as well), she puts on a downcast expression that just says "Oh, No... Not Again!."

Random Events Plot: This is often the case in the anime, since each episode is composed of a bunch of unrelated manga chapters strung together. Some episodes feature a unifying theme to tie everything together, such as Tomoko trying to have some genuine high school experiences to tell Yuu about when they meet at the end of the week, but other times, it really is just a series of random events happening in her life.

Indirect Kiss: In chapter 51 Tomoko (wrongly) thinks that her classmate Hina Nemoto tried to invoke this trope when she lent Tomoko her chapstick. Later she gets jealous when Hina lends her chapstick to another girl. Invoked in chapter 140, when both Asuka and Ucchi offer Tomoko something to drink. Tomoko thinks that drinking from the same bottle that Asuka drank from would be like indirectly kissing Asuka, but it wouldn't be like that with Ucchi, and thus she chooses Ucchi's bottle. Ucchi's expression afterwards suggests that she might see this in a different way.

Absurdly Powerful School Jurisdiction: A story arc from chapters 157-160 involves Masaki and Tomoko being punished at school for riding an electric scooter outside school grounds. They were still in uniform, which in Japan means they're expected to still be following school's rules.

Mood Whiplash: The stories can switch from making you laugh at Tomoko's failures to crushing your spirits at how depressing it all is. And sometimes, the two overlap.

Despite the Plan: In chapter 48 Tomoko plans to make her rival Kotomi jealous and miserable by getting along with Tomoki, whom Kotomi has a crush on, in front of her. The plan deteriorates quickly as Tomoko accidentally crashes into Tomoki and gets a nosebleed; however, Kotomi gets to see Tomoki taking Tomoko to the infirmary and this does make her jealous in the end.

Underdogs Never Lose: Played straight in Tomoko's movie, "A Youth Like This". The Literature Club is forced to play a game of baseball against the Student Council to keep their club from being shut down. Even though the Student Council are much better players who are willing to cheat to win, the Literature Club manages to prevail by cheating even harder.

Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: In chapter 106, Yuri prevented Tomoko from saying something to Yoshida that would get her punched. Overall, she has a better grasp on what kind of person Tomoko is than the rest of the school. Funnily enough, as shown in chapter 124, Yuri is something of a Cloudcuckoolander herself, as her social skills actually aren't all that much better than Tomoko's when she's not erring on the side of being overly-reserved. She seems to rely on her friend Mako to act as her minder in these cases.

Reverse Cerebus Syndrome: The series was never violent or tragic (in a traditional sense) but it starts off as a cringe comedy where the main character was an outcast, Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist who could never catch a break. This lasted until the amusement park field trip arc, following which Tomoko is finally thrown a bone and surrounded by friends who understand her, with her pervertedness and dark humor getting less awkward and depressing, instead turning more charming and deliberately endearing.

Loners Are Freaks

comment
Tomoko discusses this trope in chapter 69 when, while forming groups for the school trip, her teacher makes her join a group of three other girls who did not join any other group; she believes that even thought they are loners and leftovers, they will not be alone now that they are in a group together. Then it's immediately subverted when Tomoko tries to talk to those girls, as it turns out that one of them actually plans to hang out with some other group, the second one didn't show up at all, and the third one doesn't care what they are going to do during the trip. Tomoko concludes that a bunch of loners put together in a group will stay loners, and that all loners are scumbags. Ultimately this trope is Double Subverted, as Tomoko does start to hang out with two of those girls as a result of the school trip.

A few "What If?" chapters show what would happen if Tomoko got something she wanted. One chapter shows the outcome of starting her own club at school, and another shows what would happen if Tomoko somehow managed to get into the group with the popular kids. In every case, popularity doesn't magically fix Tomoko's problems like she thought it would. In the case of the former, Tomoko is still shy and sitting in the corner despite being the club president, because she's still scared of social interaction. In the latter case, Tomoko is hit on by boys and has people trying to leech off of her popularity every day, which leads to Tomoko hating her newfound status.

The first story features what would have happened had Tomoko just joined Masaki's trio of delinquents. It ends up with Tomoko on the lowest rung in the pecking order, and ends up being Masaki's gopher. The second part has Tomoko completely fitting in with the delinquents, and even brags that she's coming close to failing by the end of their first year, but she laughs it off. Masaki, Anna, and Reina don't find that funny at all. Even they do the bare minimum to keep from repeating the year, leaving Tomoko to shriek that she's actually the only true delinquent among them. She still manages to pass.

In chapter 39, Tomoko's second year of high school starts with new classroom seating arrangements. Her new seatmate Hina Nemoto not only remembered who she is but also thought her introduction at the beginning of the first year was funny. Tomoko is overjoyed thinking that maybe she managed to find a friend at last. But then the time comes for her to introduce herself and it turns out that Hina told everyone how great Tomoko's first year introduction was and now everyone is looking forward to another great introduction. This causes Tomoko to panic and publicly embarrass herself. As a result her very name becomes a synonym for something embarrassingly bad in her class. And she doesn't get as close to her classmate as she imagined.

Hypocritical Humor: In chapter 5 Tomoko mocks Komiyama for not having any guy friends. This backfires on her when Komiyama finds out that the only guy she saw Tomoko talking with was her brother Tomoki. When Komiyama reveals she likes a certain anime, Tomoko dismisses anime as kid stuff. When Yuu says she likes it too right afterward, Tomoko flip-flops immediately. When Tomoko suggested Komiyama would spend her Christmas tracking everything her favorite male voice actors do, Komiyama is disgusted, then immediately starts tracking everything her favorite baseball players do. In chapter 17 Tomoko runs into Kotomi at a bookstore and tries to leave while pretending she didn't see her. This plan fails when Kotomi notices Tomoko... and starts pretending she didn't, which angers Tomoko.

In a later chapter watching an anime gives her the idea to become popular by being an Emotionless Girl. Since this doesn't involve any change in behavior, nobody notices.

Color Failure

comment
Color Failure: In order to show Yuu's extreme differences with Tomoko, Tomoko turns grey up until they start talking about crappy anime like "EFB" ...then Yuu declares that she had a fight with her boyfriend and Tomoko goes green and brown. Tomoko turns grey again to represent her attempt at emotionlessness, with the grey background characters going full color while she does so. When Tomoki sees the old video where he wants to marry Tomoko, everything turns grey. It's Tomoko's turn for everything to go grey when she gets a worrying phone call from Yuu. Tomoko goes grey upon arriving at the cafe where Yuu's working, signifying how out of place she's feeling. In episode 10, it's her change in seating that triggers the color failure. Happens twice during episode 11 - once at the beginning, while the rest of the class is preparing for the cultural festival, and again while Tomoko's waiting for Yuu to turn up. In episode 12, after realizing killing a cockroach only seems to have pushed her classmates away, Tomoko turns transparent for a brief while, before going grey as she determines to carry on. There's also a brief color failure during PE.

Taken to comically absurd levels in Chapter 93. Yuu just so happens to cut her hair the same way Ucchi does, Tomoko just so happens to use her as a model for some panties that match a pair she inadvertently stole from Ucchi during the class trip, and Ucchi just so happens to pass by to witness the proceedings. Needless to say, it only reinforces the emoji-faced girl’s paranoia that Tomoko has an obsession with her.

What If?: The special included for Volume 18 features three of these. A common thread to all three are how, compared to how things turned out canonically for Tomoko, these relationships are in one way or another not ideal to Tomoko's personal growth. The special included in Volume 20 also continues each of these for a second look. The first story features what would have happened had Tomoko just joined Masaki's trio of delinquents. It ends up with Tomoko on the lowest rung in the pecking order, and ends up being Masaki's gopher. The second part has Tomoko completely fitting in with the delinquents, and even brags that she's coming close to failing by the end of their first year, but she laughs it off. Masaki, Anna, and Reina don't find that funny at all. Even they do the bare minimum to keep from repeating the year, leaving Tomoko to shriek that she's actually the only true delinquent among them. She still manages to pass. The second story shows what happens if Tomoko became friends with Yuri, Mako, Sachi, and Koharu. Tomoko finds the experience exhausting due to Sachi and Koharu's bad habits, and eventually breaks ties from them with Yuri and Mako. The second part has Tomoko and Sachi, in their 2nd year, getting along with each other on the surface again, but in reality, they're only hanging around each other until they can find better cliques. They eventually do find other groups to fit in with, which for Tomoko, doesn't include Yuri and Mako, despite saying they'd continue to talk with/text each other. When she sees Sachi hanging out with Koharu still, however, she wonders why those two STILL haven't broken things off... The final story is what would happen if Tomoko became part of Asuka's clique (supplanting Kaho in the group). She's in the limelight a lot, and gets a lot of interaction with guys, but in the end feels empty, and can only feel happy while privately playing videogames at home. The second part shows off Tomoko, now a 3rd year, in a classroom away from Asuka, Miho, and Fuuka, quietly reveling in the fact that she can now finally be a loner, despite being pestered by other students. However, she comes across a loner girl by herself, and decides that if she can't be a loner herself, she'll just become FRIENDS with one instead. Asuka and the others find Tomoko and accidentally scare the loner off, leaving Tomoko optimistic in thinking that perhaps that loner girl might find some friends for herself as well.

Intimacy Via Horror: Tomoko tries to exploit this during the culture festival when she takes Yuu to the haunted house, hoping it'll scare her friend so much, she'll cling to Tomoko. It doesn't work; the effects are too cheap to scare Yuu at all, which thoroughly pisses Tomoko off.

Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: A very prominent feature on Tomoko and an occasional source of insecurity for her. It definitely makes her look creepy and reflects her tendency to stay up late staring at a screen, but it also appears to be a Kuroki family trait, as her brother and parents all display similar eye circles to lesser degrees.

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Inverted example. In chapter 25, after Tomoko purposely drops some hot porridge onto her brother's face, he responds with a swift kick to her back. Although it seemed painful, he claims he didn't kick her that hard, which may be true considering she was still holding the porridge in her hands instead of dropping it due to the force of his kick.

Nice Mean And In Between: Yuu, Tomoko, and Kotomi respectively. Yuu is cheerful, friendly, always sees the best in people, and doesn't appear to be aware of the other girls' animosity toward one another. Tomoko is a perverted, cynical, and somewhat manipulative jerk who despises Kotomi and usually throws the first stone at her. Finally, Kotomi tends to act more civil and nice, but still has a lot of jaded thoughts, particularly whenever she sees Tomoko for who she really is, and is always quick to return fire whenever Tomoko hurls an insult her way. This dynamic more or less continues when the three grow up and go to high school.

Show Within a Show: Chapter 216 is devoted to showing off the entirety of the movie, "A Youth Like This," which Tomoko and her friends spent the last several volumes producing. It's a silly comedy about how a quirky group of students (who are all based off of Tomoko's friends, or rather, her warped view of them) keep their school club from getting shut down. It's as shoddy and amateurish as you can expect.

However, the inherent contradiction to study so she can avoid going to a school that will make her study is not lost on her.

Genius Book Club: Upon turning 16, Tomoko tries to act mature by reading Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood, but it mostly goes over her head except for the sex scenes. Tomoko tries to invoke this trope in chapter 48 in one of her attempts to one-up Kotomi by making a show of the fact that she read books written by (expies of) Murakami and Ango Sakaguchi, and by claiming that they are much better than "kiddy books" recommended by the school library. This backfires on her as Kotomi (the library assistant) turns out to be a much bigger bookworm, and gleefully notes that Tomoko acts all high and mighty despite the fact that she actually read only a few books of the aforementioned authors (and borrowed "kiddy books" herself just the other day).

Hope Spot: Near the end of chapter 27/episode 10 of the anime, Tomoko gathers the courage to form her own club much like in other anime shows and manga. In the anime there is even a very serene song playing as Tomoko looks at her newly formed club with two other people, and they just spend the afternoon doing random things in the classroom. Then her mom starts shouting her name, and it turns out said serene scene was just an Imagine Spot she was in. To make matters worse, her club application in real life was rejected for being too vague in its goal. In chapter 47, after ignoring Tomoko's attempts to befriend her for a while, Kotomi finds out that her old crush, Tomoki, ended up in the same high school as her. She then starts to treat Tomoko nicer, hoping that she might introduce her to her brother properly, and even suggests that in the end they might get along... but then Tomoko remembers a misunderstanding they had in the middle school, decides that she doesn't want to be friends with Kotomi after all, and humiliates her in front of Tomoki.

Yank the Dog's Chain: Sometimes it seems things are looking up for Tomoko but it doesn't last. An early example has Tomoko reconnecting with her best friend Yuu and having fun all day but being crushed at the end after learning she has a boyfriend. In chapter 39, Tomoko's second year of high school starts with new classroom seating arrangements. Her new seatmate Hina Nemoto not only remembered who she is but also thought her introduction at the beginning of the first year was funny. Tomoko is overjoyed thinking that maybe she managed to find a friend at last. But then the time comes for her to introduce herself and it turns out that Hina told everyone how great Tomoko's first year introduction was and now everyone is looking forward to another great introduction. This causes Tomoko to panic and publicly embarrass herself. As a result her very name becomes a synonym for something embarrassingly bad in her class. And she doesn't get as close to her classmate as she imagined. Later Tomoko does talk to her new seatmate occasionally, a slight improvement from talking to none of her classmates. But in chapter 43, Hina strikes up a conversation with Tomoko while the latter is searching the Internet for some NSFW pictures... during class. This surprises Tomoko so much that she drops her phone and it ends up in their teacher's hands with the images still onscreen. Whenever other people (besides her family and Yuu) are being sociable toward Tomoko, she is too socially inept to respond much in turn. Whenever other people go out of their way to be kind to her, she's oblivious to the act. The subplot of Tomoko reuniting with another middle school classmate led to this since she's made a potential friend into an enemy. Though they never got along in middle school, both wanted to be friends with the other now, before Tomoko ruined it.

Nice Guy: They come around every once in a while, not that Tomoko notices. In fact, most of the schoolmates that Tomoko has a (very limited) contact with seem to fit; while they generally don't go out of their way to strike up a conversation with her, they do treat her with respect and kindness (at least to her face; later it's revealed some of her classmates have been using "Kuroki-level" to mean Epic Fail behind her back).

Dub Text: In episode 11, a male student remarks on one of the popular girls' work with "Wow, you're pretty good at this!" in the original and "I knew you had me in you—I mean, nice job." in the dub. Episode 12: a description of Tomoko's body odor is bumped up from "like old people" to "like a decaying corpse".

Self-Deprecation: The Volume 18 extras parody the general Lighter and Softer feel of the later manga, where the story turns into a 4Koma—all teenage male characters disappear from the world, Tomoko's sexual urges are played up, characters develop Bishie Sparkles and Moe, and Ucchi becomes incapable of saying anything but "Kuroki" and "gross."

Satchel Switcheroo: Kotomi's Valentine chapter centered around her making a set of chocolate for Tomoki. When she bumps into Tomoko, they get their chocolates swapped out, and Kotomi almost gives Tomoki a penis-shaped chocolate instead of the sports themed chocolates she planned on making. Funnily enough, the box gets swapped with the right one before he can even open it, and he ends up getting Kotomi's chocolates positioned in the shape of a penis.

Generic Cuteness: Used as a plot point in Chapter 9. During a portrait drawing assignment, Tomoko's partner, Hatsushiba, draws her looking very conventionally cute. She assumes this means he finds her attractive and is very excited about it, but the truth is, he just gave her the same generic face he puts on all his background characters because it's the fastest face he can make.

Misery Builds Character
 No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! (Manga) / int_ce6487aa
comment
Misery Builds Character: It's shown to be a very encompassing theme throughout the manga. Tomoko spent a year-and-a-half feeling crushing loneliness and constant humiliation, but that time spent in misery helped her understand her failings and mature into a more well-rounded and functional individual. By the time she reaches her third year in high school, she views less than pleasant experiences like being suspended as avenues for experiencing a proper high school life and takes them in stride. The trope is further highlighted in the What If? omakes, which show Tomoko generally having an easier time in high school due to integrating with one of the cliques, but ultimately ending up in a situation she's not satisfied with and which is overall worse for her than in canon. Koharu Minami had an easy time during her first two years in high school and she spent that time being a gossip-mongering Beta Bitch. However, getting separated from her clique during her third year forced her to start reevaluating her life when she found she couldn't connect with anyone outside the few people she already knew.

New Friend Envy: This is a recurring issue. One of the reasons why Tomoko was so hostile to Kotomi was because she didn't want to share any attention from Yuu. This is a frequent issue with Yuri, who acts colder than usual whenever it appears someone is getting closer to Tomoko, with Hina and Asuka being the most common causes. It's not just new friends either; Yuri's behavior turned passive-aggressive the first time she met Tomoko oldest friend, Yuu.

Porn Stash: Tomoko is convinced her brother has a collection of dirty magazines hidden somewhere in his room, but her efforts to dig up any such dirt on him haven't been successful so far, with the implication being that he really doesn't have anything of the sort. However, Tomoko has a lot of filthy things saved up on her phone, which is enough to send her into conniptions when she accidentally leaves it at school.

Only problem is, she's in the middle of a school marathon. When cooking Valentine's Day Chocolate in chapter 112, Tomoko makes her candy look like turds. Hilarity Ensues when she starts distributing it among her various acquaintances.

Refuge in Audacity: When Shizuku says she'd like to do a maid cafe for the cultural festival, Tomoko advises her to try and make her pitch appealing to both boys and girls, with the former liking sexy things while the latter like trendy things. So the kohai writes her suggestion as such: "(Carnal K-pop style idols, guaranteed to blow up on Instagram, real deal absolutely now allowed) Ultra Spicy Maid Cafe (pervy style) Check us out on TikTak." Her class ends up voting for it purely because of how hilariously over-the-top it is.

Writing Around Trademarks: One story arc is based around Tomoko's class visiting what's all but stated to be Disneyland. The park is filled with rides, attractions, merchandise, and characters very reminiscent to what you'll find under the Disney banner with a enough tweaks to make them more lawyer-friendly. The traditional mouse ear hats are smaller and look more like bear ears, Hina dons a hat that strongly resembles Sully from Monsters, Inc., the girls go on rides that are Space Mountain and Splash Mountain in all but name, and attend a show akin to "Stitch Encounter" that stars a koala-like creature who's a blatant Captain Ersatz of Stitch.

Amateur Film-Making Plot: For her class' third year cultural festival, Tomoko sets out to make a movie with all her assorted friends and acquaintances. It's a long story arc where the project suffers various setbacks, from Tomoko struggling to come up with an actual story, getting some of her actors to agree to say the lines she wrote for them, having to cut out some of the racier content, throwing an ending together a day before the deadline, and pulling an all-nighter on the eve of the festival, but it does get completed. The end result is A Youth Like This and is terrible, amateurish, and hilarious.

comment
Breakout Character: Sachi spent nearly the entire series as a Satellite Character to Minami to the point where she had the typical design used for unimportant mob characters. After her prominent role in Minami's own story arc late in the third year, however, her popularity exploded and she's gone from a tertiary character at best to having a prominent role in most of the subsequent chapters.

Security Cling: In chapter 21 during the school festival, Tomoko convinces Yuu to go to the haunted house together, hoping to invoke this trope. It doesn't work because Yuu wasn't scared at all. Downplayed in chapter 126, when Tomoko gets scared while riding a rollercoaster in Disneyland, but only grabs Ucchi's hand. Ucchi ends up demanding that they ride a rollercoaster again.

Secretly Gay Activity: This sums up most of Ucchi's dealings and interactions with Tomoko. She does a lot of things to express her crush on the latter with justifications made to hide it from both Tomoko and herself. These include giving Tomoko some "spare" Hokkaido cookies and Valentine's Day chocolates, approaching her wearing nothing but a bathrobe to help her study, ordering a single large drink with two straws for them to sip from because it's cheaper than just getting separate drinks, and going to a love hotel purely to study together.

Something Else Also Rises: A rare female example happens when Ucchi orders a single drink with Tomoko that they both sip from separate straws. When they lean in simultaneously and their eyes meet, Ucchi gets visibly excited and does a Spit Take through her straw, which causes liquid to spray from the cup and all over Tomoko's face.

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Tomoko is attracted to abusive boyfriends, as evidenced by how much she listens to Yandere Fetishized Abuser CDs with clear arousal. When Tomoki says he really wants to kill Sayaka, Sachi, who's developed a crush on him, gives him high marks for wanting to kill girls who aren't herself.

comment
Contrived Coincidence: Taken to comically absurd levels in Chapter 93. Yuu just so happens to cut her hair the same way Ucchi does, Tomoko just so happens to use her as a model for some panties that match a pair she inadvertently stole from Ucchi during the class trip, and Ucchi just so happens to pass by to witness the proceedings. Needless to say, it only reinforces the emoji-faced girl’s paranoia that Tomoko has an obsession with her. In chapter 122, against all odds, Tomoko ends up sharing her third and final year of high school with just about every named character. Even she's quite stunned at the unlikely turn of events. The only person who doesn't get into her class is Ucchi...who doesn't take the revelation well. At all. During an English class in chapter 173, the teacher uses the sentence "Dye my hair silver" as part of the lesson. This wouldn't be anything special in most cases, except that this happens a few days after Tomoko dyed her hair silver, both the drapes and the carpet, and presumably a few hours after Fuuka walked in on her in the bathroom and found out about the latter. Thus, the innocuous lesson becomes a catalyst for Fuuka to drive herself crazy coming up with more out-there theories about Tomoko's weirdness.

Sexy Santa Dress: In the Volume 8 Christmas Special, Tomoki gets one of these in a gift exchange with his friends. Having no use (or want) of it, he passes it on to Tomoko...who, unbeknownst to him, discovered a sibling incest porn DVD in his PS3 that one of his buddies snuck in. Hilarity Ensues. In the 2020 Christmas special, Asuka shows off a photo of she and her friends in sexy Christmas-themed costumes. She's wearing a midriff-baring outfit while her friend Kaho has a more modest but still cute minidress. Yuu thinks the photo is cute; Tomoko thinks it's perverse. Those same Santa dresses return in the next Christmas special, when three girls—Yuri, Masaki, and Kotomi—are forced to wear them for the Christmas party. Kotomi has trouble keeping her top on, to the point where it even slips off and exposes her bare breasts, and Yuri's has such a short skirt that Tomoko is able to get an eyeful of what's under it.

Decon-Recon Switch: Tomoko's first year of high school serves as a scathing deconstruction of the Otaku Surrogate. Tomoko goes in with the smug superior attitude that many characters in that archetype display, along with a vast knowledge of games, anime, and pop culture, but her lack of social skills and unpleasant personality prevent her from ever connecting with anyone. Near the end of her second year, the trope is reconstructed when Tomoko's eccentric behaviors make her someone a lot of people want to know once they finally do notice her.

Last-Name Basis: In keeping up with Japanese decorum, characters typically refer to each other by their surnames unless they're really close. Since the manga largely takes place from the perspective of a loner who has a hard time forming personal connections of any kind, it can take years before someone's personal name is ever revealed.

Tomoko typically wears the skirt of her school uniform long, but at the beginning of the manga, it was much shorter, stopping just above her knees. This could be chalked up to Art Evolution, but chapter 148 makes a point of showing just how uncomfortable Tomoko is wearing her skirt short at school.

Acting in the Dark: Happens in-universe with the "Cinderette" play, where the ending is changed without any of the actors being aware of it until the very moment it occurs on stage on the day of the performance. Which put the two leads, Tomoki and Akari, into an awkward situation as the revised ending now called for the former to kiss the latter and bring her character back to life when he originally was supposed to kill himself to be Together in Death with her. The whole thing was yet another poorly-thought plan by Sayaka to push the two together.

Tomoko tries to invoke this trope in chapter 48 in one of her attempts to one-up Kotomi by making a show of the fact that she read books written by (expies of) Murakami and Ango Sakaguchi, and by claiming that they are much better than "kiddy books" recommended by the school library. This backfires on her as Kotomi (the library assistant) turns out to be a much bigger bookworm, and gleefully notes that Tomoko acts all high and mighty despite the fact that she actually read only a few books of the aforementioned authors (and borrowed "kiddy books" herself just the other day).

Determinator: For all of Tomoko's faults, one thing that can be said in her favor is that it takes a lot to bring her down. Tomoko will make A Simple Plan, try to carry it out, and fail miserably. This is especially prevalent in the beginning of the story, where she makes plans to become cool and popular by doing such things as playing dating sims non-stop, trying to paint herself as an Emotionless Girl, and applying anime/otaku tropes to real life in general. These plans never work out for Tomoko; she'll either humiliate herself in trying, or just have the plan fall totally flat on its face. In spite of that, she'll always dust herself off, say that the past is in the past, and try again. It is thus quite ironic that only after does Tomoko actually give up trying to be popular that her social life genuinely starts to improve.

Wall Pin of Love: In the Volume 7 omake, Tomoko decides to see if this trope is all it's cracked up to be by asking her brother to do it to her. After much shouting and insulting, he finally obliges her...by slamming her against the wall with his trademark Facepalm of Doom.

Satellite Character: There are a number of characters who exist in the manga largely just to show the kinds of social circles the more important characters run with. Hina Nemoto has the group of people she's been with since the very beginning of the manga, which includes Okada and Kiyota. Itou serves as Kotomi's friend in high school, and as far as we can see, her Only Friend besides Yuu. When Yoshida's not with Tomoko and Yuri, she's usually seen hanging out with Anna and Rena, a pair of girls who share her yankii fashion. Ucchi has a large group of friends who have distinct appearances, but otherwise no given names or strong characterizations. Mostly, they're there to react to Ucchi's growing number of strange antics. Asuka's recently shown that she's part of a clique of pretty and popular girls, who include Fuuka and Miho. Prior to this, she's also been shown to spend her lunch with Kaho, a friend from another class.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Tomoko usually at least tries to restrain her Jerkass tendencies whenever she's interacting with Yuu. However, in chapter 93, in response to Yuu wondering what it would be like for Tomoko if Tomoki and Kotomi dated and eventually got married, Tomoko furiously but calmly threatens to kill Yuu if she ever brings the topic up again.

Crossover: GanGan Online promoted this series and Daily Lives of High School Boys, two of their biggest hits, by making flyers and posters with Tomoko and Yoshitake riding a train on the way to their schools. Tomoko and Yuri briefly showed up in the authors' other manga, Kuzu to Megane to Bungaku Shoujo (Nise). Interestingly enough, Orikawa from the same series is shown from behind in chapter 145 in a scene that looks to be continuing from where the Lit Girl scene left off thus implying or confirming that both series take place in the same universe.

comment
Deconstructed Character Archetype: Of the cool otaku character. Haruhi, Keima, and Konata have friends, talent, and looks to balance out their otaku tendencies. Lacking these three attributes, Tomoko's life is for the most part lonely, depressing, and frustrating. All the children think The Queen has the power to take exactly the card she needs from her deck... but the truth is that Tomoko is a Card Sharp. Being a Cute Clumsy Girl gets deconstructed in an omake. Sure, it may be cute, but it's also going to get you fired. The series also deconstructs the idea of social anxiety as a "cute" trait. In real life, social anxiety is a MASSIVE detriment to anyone who has it, as humans are inherently social creatures. We need to communicate, and the inability to do so causes nothing more than pain and self-hatred, and WataMote displays this in all its terrible, depressing glory.

Tomoko is also a Covert Pervert in general, and repeatedly tries to make Tomoki lust after her, but when she convinces herself that Kotomi is sexually interested in Tomoki, this enrages her and makes her disgusted with Kotomi. The fact that she accuses Kotomi with great indignation of "being after dicks" and wanting to see Tomoki's penis is also funny considering Tomoko's own actions from chapter 43.

comment
Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: Tomoko could be described as a chronic Boke with a lot of Tsukkomis. In her one-on-one interactions, she has a tendency to say and do some very dumb things that usually get her smacked by other, more down-to-earth characters, including Tomoki, Yuri, Masaki, and Hina. Sayaka and Akari have developed into this dynamic respectively. Sayaka is the dimwitted loudmouth who keeps on coming up with bad ideas and saying dumb things (always in relation to trying to help the latter get together with Tomoki), and Akari has grown so frustrated with her that she's taken to slapping her whenever she goes too far.

Back in Yuu's first appearence she's described by Tomoko as having "rather average looks and rather average grades" which seems to go against later appearences where she's shown to be a complete Brainless Beauty (or at least having very poor grades) and Tomoko having lusted for her since their very first encounter. She's also impressed by Yuu smelling so good implying is the first time she notes that while in the spin-off Tomoko smelling Yuu is basically a Running Gag.

Easily Forgiven: Discussed. Tomoko once mentions hating a trend in shoujo manga where the main character would get mercilessly bullied by another girl or group, but then suddenly be affectionate and forgiving to the bully after finding common ground and helping them through their issues. However, she hypocritically says she likes the nekettsu shounen manga flavored version of this trope, even if the opponent has done worse than mere bullying and tried to kill the main character.

Tomoko tends to have this effect on some members of her friends' already existing social groups. Of note is Akane and Fuuka, who are friends of Hina and Asuka respectively. Both find Tomoko very weird and creepy, and are also concerned about what effect she might be having on their mutual friends. Rather than spark hostility though, it just causes both to develop more of a morbid curiosity toward her, with Fuuka in particular developing a Sitcom Archnemesis rivalry with Tomoko.

 No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! (Manga) / int_f589bf3a
comment
Real Men Take It Black: More like "Real Adults Take It Black" in Tomoko's mind. When she turns 16, she decides to act more "grown-up" by going to a cafe and drinking a black coffee. While she tries to keep up a suave appearance, she can't help but inwardly wretch at how bitter it tastes. Discussed in a later chapter during her third year. After Tomoko mentions how she's started regularly drinking her coffee black to see if it will make her less drowsy while she studies, Yuri accuses her of humble-bragging.

Reverse Psychology: Tomoko tries (not very subtly) to use this on Yuri and Masaki in chapter 76 to trick them into climbing to the top of the mountain during their class trip. Yuri immediately realizes what Tomoko is doing, but Masaki takes the bait.

comment
Koharu Minami had an easy time during her first two years in high school and she spent that time being a gossip-mongering Beta Bitch. However, getting separated from her clique during her third year forced her to start reevaluating her life when she found she couldn't connect with anyone outside the few people she already knew.

Cool Big Sis: Tomoko wants to be seen as one by her cousin Kii-chan, apparently the only person who looks up to her. To achieve this, she lies a lot about, among other things, the extent of her love life. Kii-chan ends up finding out the truth and pities Tomoko. Chapter 32 reveals that Tomoki actually saw Tomoko as one when they were younger.

comment
Sitting on the Roof: Deconstructed in the OVA. Tomoko and Aomatsu are only able to get onto the school roof because the former was able to snatch the key off the floor after a teacher dropped it. When she hangs out on it later, a teacher notices the door is open and closes it, locking Tomoko on the roof and sending her into a panic. She's eventually found, but she gets in trouble and is never able to get onto the roof again.

I Always Wanted to Say That: A variation in chapter 144. When Hina tells Tomoko that she made Yuri mad, and that she might be able to catch up to Yuri if she runs after her, Tomoko accuses Hina of waiting for the chance to use a cliched line like that. Hina's reaction strongly suggests Tomoko is right.

comment
My Sister Is Off-Limits: Gender-flipped. Tomoko really doesn't like the idea of girls dating her brother, which just adds another reason to why she's so hostile to Kotomi (and later Akari). Whether it's because she's uncomfortable with the idea of others perving over him, doesn't want to see another sign that he's more socially-capable than she is, wants him all for herself, or some combination thereof is up to interpretation. Asuka expresses similar views, at one point outright saying she would puke if Fuuka ever dated her older brother.

Brick Joke: At the beginning of chapter 30 Tomoko mocks in her thoughts people who have trouble running the marathon and finish it dead last while being cheered on by their schoolmates. She claims that if that happened to her she'd feel pathetic. Needless to say, this is exactly what happens to her at the end of that chapter. Chapter 19 establishes that Tomoko considers eating one's lunch in the bathroom to be pretty much the rock bottom of loserdom. In chapter 48 she catches her Sitcom Arch-Nemesis Kotomi eating her lunch in the bathroom, and it gives the opportunity to offer her rival some Condescending Compassion. In the seventh special chapter, Yuu gets Tomoko a pack of condoms as part of a contest to see who can get the silliest and most worthless gifts for Christmas. While Yuu wins and uses her victory to make Tomoko and Kotomi sing karaoke songs for both Christmas this year and next year, Tomoko tells her that if she actually does use the condoms, then Yuu's win will be disqualified. Three years later when the next Christmas special comes out, Tomoko presents the unused pack of condoms in front of everyone, admits she owes Yuu another song, and thoroughly embarrasses her friend in the process.

comment
Eating Lunch Alone: Having absolutely no friends at school means this is a problem Tomoko deals with on a daily basis. Chapter 19 has her struggling to find a place to eat when her desk is taken during lunchtime, and chapter 4 shows that even grabbing a bite at a fast food joint by herself is a nerve-wracking experience. No longer true after Chapter 99 onward, as first Mako, then Yuri begin to semi-regularly join her for lunchtime. By Tomoko's third year, she's actually suffering the opposite, as there's now way too many people who would gladly eat lunch with her.

Pet the Dog: Every now and then, Tomoko will show that she does indeed have a conscience buried under there, such as when she encourages Yuu to do her best in high school after correctly suspecting her smile wasn't genuine at all, draping a blanket on her exhausted brother when she sees him nearly pass out on a couch, or saying goodbye to Megumi during the latter's graduation ceremony. After the Kyoto field trip, she's been doing this a lot more often.
