Tomo-chan Is a Girl won in the “web manga category” at Da Vinci and Niconico’s 2015 Next Manga Awards out of 15 nominees. The awards began in 2014 with the goal of introducing new series that are expected to break out in the future. The series beat out Tsuzui’s “Fujoshi no Tsuzui-san”, which finished as the runner-up.

Tomo and Jun have been best buds since they were little kids, but now that they’re in high school, Tomo wants to be more than friends…too bad Jun just sees her as ‘one of the guys.’ Tomo may be a tomboy, but she’s determined to prove to Jun that she’s a woman, too!
