Did this guy actually believe her or was he just interested in her crazy talks and how Tomoko acted sorta captivated him?

"I'll be tsukkomi chara" LOL.

I almost forgot how attractive Tomoko's imaginary self is.

Wait- there's gonna be a 2nd season? Want it!

Dat rooftop scene almost reminded me of "Afterglow" (A beautiful vocaloid song) Tomoko in her middle school years was pretty hot, nice voice-acting by her VA.

Ah man, you did see her, Aomatsu...

"Keep it cool. I'm a cool chara." LMAO XD

I can't believe she told him all that with her ankle hurt LMAOOOO

And the despair is back... I feel so bad for her, yet again. Happiness is always like at a distance of 10cm from her.

So a new character is intrigued by Tomoko's words, despite the face that she sort of messed up her foot. It was pretty funny when she tried to impress her techniques XD.

Felt bad that she was locked out in the rooftops, at leastone of the faculties got her. She is still awesome since middle school.

Patiently waiting for a second season....

Lmao, I thought Tomoko has chuunibyou when he met Aomatsu. And speaking of him, his hair looks like Renjis’ from ef, sasuga director-san.

Tomoki looked matured and cool in a highschool uniform! Damn, I wonder what chapter did they covered?

My impression is that "Episode 13" (i.e. this OVA on the bonus DVD) is not based
on the manga. When the series was airing, I read ahead the the manga and I
did not see anything like this. Also, there is some content in the manga which
does reveal things about Tomoko's life back when she was in middle school, and
it is not consistent with what we saw in this OVA.

I just read all of the manga (including omakes, spin offs and anthologies) and I can confirm that nothing in this OVA is taken from there. As we discussed before it's a completely original story, for both good and bad... Good because it's something unexpected but also bad because it messes with the timeline and makes up a new character. Instead of the actual character who needs introducing: Komi-chan!

Here's hoping the next OVA/season will stick to the manga!

During the middle part I somehow got the hope up, that it could have an actual happy ending, like an happy ending episode of Watamote, but who was I kidding.

Didn't realize that the OVA existed until now though

Watching her cry always makes me laugh. That's a terrible thing to admit.

Lol.... did they just jabbed on the won't coming season 2?

Also wow, I can't believe that they would used Tomoki's friend as a main character in this OVA. He only interacted once with Tomoko in the manga during the borrowing event.

Tomoko really is cute... her crying is so cute. Damn I love her so much.

I also can't believe that the author really did what the intro told us on chapter 100 lol.

That was just... depressing.

Still loved it. Too bad a season 2 never got made. I'll have to read the manga.

Theory: It is possible the Tomoko we saw from the glasses guy's point of view is how Tomoko really looks, and Tomoko in most of the series is how she perceives herself. Thinking of oneself as "ugly" is fairly typical of girls her age, especially when they have disorders. The only time she is called ugly by someone else in the series is by her brother or when she made an intentionally ugly face to camouflage herself from her classmates. When others have spoken to her, it's actually friendly. As for why she hasn't been approached by guys based on looks... Japanese men are notorious for not approaching women, and really I think we can say American men these days don't have them beaten by much. Present day society is a lot more closed. People socialize less and play with their phones more. Tomoko is an inevitable product of such a society.

I love her no matter how she looks though. <3

Tomoko is so beautiful when she's serious and her hair is down. Ugh. Love this OVA so much. I ship her with that guy. Gaaaah! I really hope we'll get a 2nd season. ;-;

Or rather like the anime they tried to look like in this ep.

Both Tomoko and that boy are strange lonely people who deserved to date or be friends. That scene in the end where she cried after being locked in made me sad a bit. She sure led a lonely and a delusional life even in middle school( though she had friends). I hope season 2 will come in future, I will be holding my thumbs.

7/10.

The beginning of this episode triggered me because they kept talking about a second season and I want it so bad.

Really funny episode, Tomoko looked unexpectedly hot when acting mysterious. Also, nice to finally see Komi-something in the anime.
