Catching Tomo sporting a traditional yukata in the previous episode of Tomo-chan is a Girl! has undoubtedly caused every fan's heart to skip a beat. Despite her tomboy spirit sabotaging her feminine qualities, she inadvertently enchanted Jun and the entire fanbase with her charm at the fireworks festival.
However, the second piece caught fans off guard, putting them back on track with the usual “diabolical” Tomo, who is unforgiving to those who try to hurt her friends. Tomo-chan is a Girl! fans commended the series for its unique, emotionally balanced segments that made the entire episode an enthralling 24 minutes of rom-com goodness.

The upcoming episode of Tomo-chan is a Girl! will see Kousuke gathering the courage to become stronger by joining Aizawa’s dojo.

However, things are expected to go south after Tomo discovers that Carol and Jun are spending time alone.
A brief recap of Tomo-chan is a Girl! episode 8
While playing the king game (in which players must obey the king’s commands), Misuzu dared Tomo to ask Jun for the fireworks festival alone. She was initially scared, but watching Jun being unenthusiastic made her wonder what had happened. The next day, Carol persistently made Misuzu join her and Kousuke for the fireworks festival celebration.
Catching Tomo in a beautiful crimson-red floral yukata bedazzle Jun, making him speechless. The food stall owners at the fireworks festival grounds were surprised to see Tomo, the “stall-destroying demon of the summer festival,” transformed into a beautiful girl.
After two random guys started flirting with Tomo, Jun saved her. However, he made her angry by saying that she could have handled things all on her own. Exclaiming how there are things that couldn’t be solved with mere strength, Tomo thanked Jun for protecting her.
Getting lost in her beauty, Jun was briefly hypnotized and grabbed her arms unintentionally. Jun and Tomo wanted to talk about their feelings, but the uncertainty of what would come next stopped them midway.
To teach Tomo a lesson, the seniors tried to attack Misuzu. After Carol tased their leader, it gave her and Misuzu enough time to escape. They hid at an abandoned factory behind the school. Misuzu called Jun’s phone, told him to come alone, and asked him not to let Tomo find out. However, she eventually caught sight of the situation.
Carol was upset over Misuzu calling her “just a classmate” in front of the seniors. However, the latter eventually revealed that she was safeguarding the former. Tomo and Jun defeated all of the seniors in seconds. Tailing Jun and Tomo, Kousuke ran into Carol and got infuriated over the senior’s leader for doing bad things to her. However, Carol eventually calmed him down.
After everyone left, Misuzu scared the seniors by revealing that Tomo was the only daughter of legendary Gorou Aizawa, the successor to the Aizawa dojo. The following day, Tomo got excited after Jun started being casual around her instead of flustering away.
