The droopy eyes make you think of Tidy Tomoko alright. A new character seems rather out of place now (and a rival for Imae's attention of all things? Taking up space for what should've been focused on Imae and Tomoko's reunion specifically?) but eh, I'm fine with anything as long as it's not...
I wonder if these double-releases (monochrome and colored) aren't doing a toll on the author. The girls are still beautifully drawn but I can't help but feel the gags in the sequel became stretched over with not much happening in the panels.
Man.... feeling disappointed at how much they're still stretching the festival arc (and for all the wrong characters on top of that). The brother getting more recurring screentime than what any of Tomoko's friends got ever since each became relevant.
Translator-san giving us these double Wayama Yama updates is too goddamn kind for this world. Bless your soul.
I guess this chapter cemented that Kobayashi isn't interested in having kids. I deeply relate to this panel...
