In Tomo-chan is a Girl! episode 3, a furious Tomo confronted Misuzu about her past relationship with Jun. However, her anger subsided when Misuzu revealed that it only lasted for three days and later Jun too stated that he doesn’t like Misuzu anymore.
Tomo was suggested by her friends to ask Jun out on a date but chose a different location from where they usually hang out. They also suggested that she buy a new outfit. However, Tomo’s efforts proved to be in vain as Jun failed to notice them. Only when Jun rewatched the video of Tomo singing in the karaoke box, did he realize that she looked quite different that day.
