I love the anime and the manga so much. It is such an amazing work. I love how it (basically) represents social anxiety. Now, my social anxiety is not that bad, I can still talk to anyone, I just get embarrassed most of the time when I talk with a stranger that I don't really know because I feel like I said something wrong even though I was completely fine. I still try everyday to overcome it, and Tomoko is literally my comfort character because she makes me remind myself that I'm not alone.
