Tomo-chan Is a Girl Episode 5 Review and Recap – Great Friends

Another hilarious episode of Tomo-chan Is a Girl! is here, and we are back again with its review. Today’s episode started with Tomo and Misuzu going to visit Carol at her house. This would be the first time we will see where she lives and also encounter her parents. The map Carol provides to her friends is definitely not helpful, and her friends barely manage to find a huge property that proves Carol’s wealth.

Thankfully, Carol and Misuzu meet a woman who looks exactly like Carol at the gate, and we understand that it is none other than Carol’s mother. She becomes pleasantly surprised that her daughter has invited friends over, and she quickly them in. 

Later, when Misuzu goes to use the bathroom, Carol’s mother follows her and asks about her rude behaviour towards Carol. Being the pursuer of entertainment, Misuzu outright tells her how she is friends with Carol just because of her money. Misuzu thought she could have some fun by shocking Carol’s mother, but Mrs Olston is just too much like Carol, and she laughs at Misuzu’s attempt to joke around with her.

The next story focuses on Tomo trying to pass her results and asking for guidance from Misuzu, who is clearly an elite student. By the end of this segment, we got to know that Carol is not what she seems like from the outside and that she can be pretty talented herself.

 The last bit was definitely the most entertaining of this episode. Jun invites Tomo to his house to have a gaming sleepover where they would play games and hang out the entire night. Tomo also agrees without realising the context of this whole situation. The moment you think Tomo will be the only one who will be conscious of the other, you see that Jun is conscious of Tomo, as well, and even confused about his own feelings.

Verdict 

This episode again delivered a good light-hearted comedy. We meet two new characters in this episode, they are Carol’s mother and Misuzu’s mother, who are absolutely copy-pasted versions of their daughters. 

We also saw some development in the relationship between Jun and Tomo, and hopefully, from here on, we will see more interactions between them. Watch this anime on Crunchyroll.
