In the previous episode of Tomo-chan is a Girl!, Tomo finally acknowledged that Jun had surpassed her in being stronger after she returned his Gameboy, the only thing that reminded them of their challenge. However, for fans, the most surprising thing about the episode was Jun finally admitting how pretty Tomo was for the first time.
Fans were also caught off-guard by the series’ new ending theme song, "Jiribaki love" by Kaito Ishikawa (Jun Kubota VA), Kouhei Amasaki (Kousuke Misaki VA), and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Tatsumi Tanabe VA). The new ED is not so different from “Yurukuru” as the male leads have taken over the singing to showcase their singer spirit.

A brief recap of Tomo-chan is a Girl! Episode 10
In the previous episode, Tomo and Jun competed against each other at the school marathon and left everyone behind. As the former wanted a fair and square battle, she didn’t turn back at the Girl’s Turning Point and continued the race to win against the latter.
Tomo somehow tripped, and Jun discovered that she had pushed her physical limit too far after training all night a day before the marathon.
Jun carried Tomo to a nearby hospital on his back. Misuzu was terrified after finding her friend ill, as Tomo catching a cold and fever was unbelievable. Tomo returned the Gameboy to Jun as she finally acknowledged that he had surpassed her in strength.
Jun reminisced about the junior year entrance ceremony, which was the first time he found out Tomo was a girl. After the discovery, it was challenging for Jun to hang out or even talk to Tomo like they used to do. Misuzu was also facing trouble catching up to Tomo.
Jun and Misuzu started dating each other to fill the void left by Tomo. However, they eventually broke up, which ended hilariously as Jun dumped Misuzu before she could, leaving her with a lifetime of regret.
Later, Jun apologized to Tomo for not talking to her for a year. The apology was accepted on the condition that they remain friends forever.
In the present, Jun woke up for school, and as he headed out, he found Tomo on his doorstep. Although he had been mesmerized by Tomo many times before, this was the first time he admitted to himself that she was indeed adorable.
