In the previous episode of Tomo-chan is a Girl!, fans were surprised by how Jun saved Tomo from a groper and tried to protect her from men eyeballing her with lascivious intent. Although it was apparent with the series' debut, the second episode almost confirmed that Jun has feelings for Tomo.
However, like every other guy, Jun is protecting his friendship by keeping his feelings suppressed. Manga fans were disappointed after Mifune and Ogawa’s part was cut off from the anime, where they got defeated in a verbal argument against Carol’s innocence, which is stated to be a hysterical piece.
Carol Olsten, a new addition to the series, has become one of the most enthralling and hilarious characters fans love for her adorable airheaded disposition. Sally Amaki, renowned for her soothing voice, garnered a lot of praise for flawlessly capturing the essence of Carol in both original Japanese voicing and English dub.

A brief recap of the previous episode of Tomo-chan is a Girl!
While heading to the school, Tomo was groped by an older man. Having been infuriated after seeing Tomo being harassed, Jun restrained the man and handed him over to the police. He suggested Tomo wear slacks instead of underpants, which made her angry. Later, Misuzu asked Tomo to get rid of the underpants and wear only the short skirt to look more feminine.
Jun was shell-shocked to see Tomo in a short skirt where he could not even see her in the eye. The former apologized to the latter by saying he didn’t possess any right to tell her what to wear. After learning Jun’s reaction through Tomo, Misuzu couldn’t control herself from sniggering.
Tomo was surprised by the attention Carol Olsten, the new half-English transfer student, was getting from the boys. Eventually, the former ran into Carol, who started seeing her as a rival. The new transfer student sought Misuzu’s help to defeat Tomo, and she sent her to Jun.
Under his tutelage, Carol began her training but couldn’t even capable of doing any of the exercises, except for jump rope. Seeing Tomo get jealous of Jun for helping her, Carol ceased the workout routine and ended her enmity. She eventually befriended Tomo and Misuzu. Meanwhile, Jun startled Tomo by casually revealing that he once went on a date with Misuzu.
