Tomo (Rie Takahashi)
Tomo is a tomboy. One who has long had trouble with making friends, and her newest discovery is that, when it comes to being seen as a girl, most have the initial impression she isn’t one until they notice her breasts. Undeterred by the friends she has had since elementary or middle school, she finds herself crushing on her next-door neighbor Jun, who doesn’t take her confession seriously.
