1. One can argue that Tomo lives by the Hagakure. "When the time comes, there is no moment for reasoning... simply become insane and desperate... A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges toward an irrational death. By doing this you will awaken from your dreams."
("The way of the [Tomo] is in [dumbass]")
2. Speaking of Yukari's driving, one of the best gags in "Sketchbook" is that they set you up to expect that the advisor is a Yukari-style driver and then it turns out she drives ultracarefully and forgets to take the handbrake off.

I don't understand why so many people actually like Tomo. She's popular among fans, though not in this comment section.

This series is just a bit too grounded for comedic bits like Tomo randomly grabbing the house keys and throwing them.
She comes across as a massive try hard, or as someone who is desperate to be quirky and "unique".
She's usually fairly tolerable, and can be funny in the series up to this point, but this chapter is definitely her at her worst and most intolerable for a reader.

I doubt it's going to happen, but it'd be great if Yomi actually - for really reals- got upset at Tomo and made her reflect on how her actions effect others.
