Bottom-Tier Tomozaki-Kun Volume 2
It's nice to see that Izumi considers Tomozaki her friend. While it might not mean much for most it a nice thing to see. Tho the 4 person shopping trip put more pressure on Tomozaki then he needed to. While he does bond with Izumi more so he fails to make the suggestion task. She makes a great point he needs to worry less about his suggestions being bad. While quality is important being persuasive is just as important as well. Convincing people can make the difference in the world. Granted making bad suggestions can make future ones less persuasive so its a delicate balance like Aoi mentioned.
We seeing that for class president we have Aoi and Mimimi competing against each other. Aoi suggests Tomozaki to help be Mimimi's manager. With the reason he has everything to lose if he was Aoi's s manager, but the opposite if he was Mimimi's manager. Good on Tomozaki to still see he could be of help to Mimimi and convinces Mimimi he can be of help. The bond between these two grows. Tho they get outmatched by Aoi who basically checkmated them before they could have their speech. Tomozaki uses a surprise gimmick to get the crowd fonded by Mimimi's personality. Obviously Aoi won, but Mimimi put a good effort. Tomozaki has a great quote that failure is the foundation of success meaning learnign from your mistakes basically.
The rest of the volume is a focus on Mimimi, who is even more dedicated to beating Aoi. But the one thing Aoi won't be beaten is effort, so this seems like a lost cause. Fuka brought a great question in asking what is Aoi's motivation? Clearly Aoi is Mimimi's motivation, but what is the reason Aoi puts in the effort she does. The concern is now Mimimi is trying to out effort Aoi, but here lies another issue. Part of Aoi's out effort thing is that her effort is extremely efficient. Mimimi putting an inefficient amount of extra work is not much help at all. Tomozaki's point that as long as you are improving that is the big key, but that point doesn't reach Mimimi and ends up quitting the track team.
Aoi brings up the point that she was surprised winning isn't the most important thing to Tomozaki. This def will be a difference between these two that will be brought upon later. Tomozaki realizes that Tama-chan is so important to Mimimi so giving her the assist to snap Mimimi out of it was the goal. While it was understandable to get Mimimi's frustrations. Aoi was her idol and whom she wanted to be. The problem is she was always topping Mimimi. At some point she would get frustrated and blame Aoi. Which obviously isn't fair since it isn't Aoi's fault. Which causes Mimimi to think she isn't special. Tama calling Mimimi her hero was a big lift for Mimimi as it told her that while Aoi is her inspiration, she is Tama-chan's inspiration. Mimimi is able to get back on the right track.
Finishing the volume Tomozaki and Izumi giving Nakamara his birthday gifts and Izumi loved seeing 2 of her friends getting closer. Unfortunately Aoi's 3 min talk task to Nakamara was a lil much for Tomozaki to handle. Which leads him to ask if Aoi and Mizusawa are dating. Well Aoi does tease him a bit and have his fun. Tomozaki does notice he growth in terms of being a "normie", but still note the disconnect between his new friends so he still has a while to go.
