Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki (light novel)
Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun Volume 2 Discussion
| This volume was better than the first one, especially for Tomozaki's character development since he actually takes certain steps to boost his image, perception, and overall presentation of his character towards Hinami and the others by changing his looks, trying to adapt some conversational tricks like humor, and learning around other people beyond Hinami herself, although she still is the coach that tries to assist him out. The subplot surrounding Hinami and a guy Tomozaki befriended, Misuzawa, being in a potential relationship that sparked Tomozaki's curiosity (and potential jealousy) was pretty forgettable beyond the fact that Tomozaki's slight panic indicates potential feelings for the future. The side characters other than Mimimi still leave no impact whatsoever on me, so Misuzawa's character fell really flat in this volume. Still nice to see that he wasn't the asshole kind of character in this particular book. When it comes to the main content though, the first part of this volume focused on Tomozaki going out with Hinami and the others as Hinami tries to help Tomozaki have more impact in decision-making when going out with others like with suggestions for places, to dominate and manipulate the mood a bit to his favor and improve his general communication skills with others. And the majority of the volume mainly focused on the Student Council Elections where Aoi Hinami and Minami Nanami were running against each other for Student Council President, and Tomozaki's assignment was to help Mimimi with the elections, even though she was competing against Aoi. Again, to boost conversational skills, help decision making and use his creative side more to help him boost others up. On paper again, I'd say for the most part none of the stuff was particularly bad. The characters other than Tomozaki and Mimimi to a degree leave no impact so some of the conversations fall flat for me (even tedious at times), but Tomozaki's character was pretty solid overall here. No cringe speeches like in the first volume, and he helped out Mimimi quite a bit with trying to capture the students' attention to vote for her when she was against stiff competition in Hinami (although in vain). It's nice seeing Tomozaki slowly grow and adapt to the game of life, and the novels don't do a bad job at being a self-help kind of series. The steps are overall okay, I just wish it was more entertaining or interesting since Hinami's character as a coach comes across as really dry and uninteresting as a whole. Hope the future volumes develop Hinami into being more fascinating cause as the main heroine, she's below par. Still, despite my issues with the series, it's not necessarily a terrible one. I'd say overall, about average so far. The first volume was below average, this one was a hint above it. Hopefully, Tomozaki's character gets better and better from here on cause he's the real shining star of the series so far (except that really terrible speech at the end of volume 1.... still traumatized from the cringe there). |

| Nanami's hate towards Aoi is so well written that no matter how much, I knew to the point that they'd reconcile (because you know, I'm a human being who thinks sometimes) it's still so impactful and vividly bright that is such a sight to see in my opinion... Fumiya's looking smexy I see.... nice nice, his personality and self-confidence even tho it's wavering like it's a fucking pendulum, I very much cant hate it... It's like how do I say it, it's just nicely well put and his thoughts that I cannot say no more. Also, at some point had those thoughts too... Welp he got rekt in the Student Council game tho, but well the planning and his determination in that chapter is such a sight to see.... Ok, I might be fucking bias on this but such tranquil and peaceful atmosphere with Fuuka is so fucking good... Like, author-san, just let her win already... Like, she's already the besto gril hands down, right? Oh wait I forgot, Aoi is single REEEEEEEEE....Wait why am I even mad? I already know she's not dating that ummm normie, I forgot his name already.... dammint. |
