Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki (2021 - 2024)

Hinami tasks Tomozaki with starting and joining conversations; after his first few attempts fall flat, he comes away with some astute observations.

With Hinami’s help, Tomozaki gets a crash course in dressing well and talking to girls, getting unexpectedly close to one classmate in particular.

Tomozaki begins tutoring Izumi in his favorite game, comes clean to Kikuchi, and gets roped into playing against the vengeful Nakamura after school.

Tomozaki makes a new friend, then goes on a shopping trip for Nakamura’s birthday—of all things. Naturally, Hinami turns it into a teaching moment.

The student council election is approaching, and Tomozaki joins Mimimi’s campaign. Turns out they both have their reasons for wanting to beat Hinami.

Tomozaki brings his gamer’s cunning to Mimimi’s campaign speech—but Hinami’s a gamer, too. Tama tells Tomozaki how she and Mimimi became friends.

Mimimi’s at her breaking point. A deeper dive into her past reveals why she’s so driven to beat Hinami, while Hinami’s motivation remains a mystery.

Tomozaki rehearses with Hinami to prepare for his movie date with Kikuchi and is invited to an overnight barbecue with his popular normie classmates.

Tomozaki gets a taste of the traditional overnight normie camp activities he’d always shunned as the group plots to get Izumi and Nakamura together.

An overheard conversation between Mizusawa and Hinami gives Tomozaki a different perspective on his private lessons in conquering the game of life.

A talk with Kikuchi helps Tomozaki realize what he really wants, and a confrontation with Hinami sets the course for the future of their relationship.
