Plot Tomo Aizawa is a tomboy who has been head-over-heels in love with her childhood best friend Junichiro Kubota for a long time, even though he only sees her as "one of the boys" and has no romantic feelings for her at all. Hilarity ensues when she tries many times in vain to win his heart, but almost always fails and even ends up getting physical at times. Characters Tomo is a tomboy who excels in combat sports. She is deeply in love with her childhood friend Junichiro, even though she struggles to win his heart. She is self-conscious about her masculine personality and seeks to become more feminine. She reflexively hits Junichiro whenever he does anything that could be perceived as physically intimate. She is in the school's karate club (all boys except for her), after not wanting to be further influenced by her father's personality during fights.
