You can see through the artistic direction, they were not trying to make this character look attractive at all, and is probably stand-out for being the most distinct looking female lead in a long time because she looks like a corpse. But do you think, even though they tried really hard, she's all that ugly? I still think under the dead, saggy eyes and broken facial expressions Kuroki looks cute.

I think that if you go and read the manga you can see what the author had in
mind. In fact, the anime follows the manga very closely in this respect.

Let's not say that Tomoko is ugly. That is a harsh word and nobody is ever
going to use it seriously in real life. It is a stupid and rude word.

However... I think that the key point is that if you look at the manga and the
anime you will see that (1) Yuu-chan is very, very beautiful (2) Kii-chan is
very, very beautiful. So the author is creating a huge contrast.

I would say that Tomoko is "plain" or "average". When I went to high school,
there were just a small number of girls who were very, very beautiful. They
had the potential to go on to become fashion models or actresses.

In real life, there ARE some people who are below "plain". I won't say "ugly",
but there are certain people with specific medical conditions that affect their
appearance or attractiveness. In some cases, this can be extreme. Tomoko
is definitely not in that category.

In personality she is very cute.
And she can look cute a couple of times, I wouldn't call her ugly, personally for me.
She's cute.

If she got a full night's sleep for once I think she'd look great. Sure her eyes are pretty creepy but that's just part of her character image so I don't mind.

Not really. We know she's actually quite a pretty girl, but she just doesn't really know how to properly take care of herself.

When her estrogen levels were soaring, the bags under her eyes went away and she looked a lot prettier already. Imagine what she would've looked like if she combed her hair and tied it up in a ponytail then.

I agree, she is cute. I am attracted to girls with that body type though, so I guess my input may be a little bias. If she was a real girl, I would totally date her. While I was watching the anime, every time something bad happened to her and she starting crying I felt like reaching through the TV and comforting her. And then I think of the girls in real life who are the same as her, having to deal with similar issues, thinking that they are never going to get a boyfriend. And I just think; your wrong, there are guys who like girls like you, and one of them is typing this post right now so don't get so depressed... This anime was awesome. Not that many anime get me emotionally into it. I actually laughed out loud during this anime, something that I don't usually do. This anime was a 9.7 for me. This post was supposed to be short and simple, I don't know how it turned into this. I guess that is what happens when all you do during your free time is watch anime and play games.But I am sure that most people on this site does the exact same thing.

she is most definitely not ugly, and i can't understand how someone could give her the label 'ugly', apart form in the frist few eps when she puckered up her face real bad and really tried hard to make herself look that way.

I had a good lol when she tried rolling her skirt up and, since there was so much fabric, it looked like she was ready to go skiing or something, the amount of fabric she had bundled up at her chest :3

Pretty much this... It's been obvious from the start her design was meant to appeal to a quirky sense of "moe".

Judging from the fact very few people find her to be unattractive, most of which just want to go against the grain, further reenforces this point.

She really is unattractive. I mean, in her current state, there's no way I can consider her otherwise since she absolutely doesn't take care of herself. However, I don't think we can consider Kuroki as ugly since she has potential to become cute: she just needs a good night of sleep, a shower and a haircut. And why not better clothes + some makeup, then you'd get a normal, if not attractive girl; basically what most girls can do. The only problem that would remain is her horrible personality, but it's harder to work on something like that.

As a whole maybe not, but in context of course yes. She's nowhere as attractive as any other girl we get to know in the school.

Well, she is indeed unattractive in terms of looks, hygiene or attitude, but she's definitely not ugly and probably wasn't intended to be.
Just look at how many users actually found her very pretty.

I think the idea is she's fairly normal looking besides her lack of sleep and sun. The whole dramatic issue in the series is that she suffers from anxiety and negative feelings about herself.

(Personally I find her cute)

Even ugly girls in anime are drawn to be hot.

I realized that in Railgun when the professor chick was labelled as skinny and ugly even though she was thick and had huge tits.

Yep. When she had her eyes "normal" in some episodes you could see how she really is, she had a kawaii face. Well... she was kinda ugly doing these faces: Face 1; Face 2

Like said she isn't ugly to us viewers because if the main character actually looked terrible then all the shallow people wouldn't watch the show. To people in the shows world though she ain't pretty. Everyone else pretty much look generic anime "pretty" girl.
