Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki

Tomozaki begins tutoring Izumi in his favorite game, comes clean to Kikuchi, and gets roped into playing against the vengeful Nakamura after school.

Tomozaki makes a new friend, then goes on a shopping trip for Nakamura’s birthday—of all things. Naturally, Hinami turns it into a teaching moment.

Tomozaki brings his gamer’s cunning to Mimimi’s campaign speech—but Hinami’s a gamer, too. Tama tells Tomozaki how she and Mimimi became friends.

Mimimi’s at her breaking point. A deeper dive into her past reveals why she’s so driven to beat Hinami, while Hinami’s motivation remains a mystery.

Tomozaki rehearses with Hinami to prepare for his movie date with Kikuchi and is invited to an overnight barbecue with his popular normie classmates.

Tomozaki gets a taste of the traditional overnight normie camp activities he’d always shunned as the group plots to get Izumi and Nakamura together.

An overheard conversation between Mizusawa and Hinami gives Tomozaki a different perspective on his private lessons in conquering the game of life.

A talk with Kikuchi helps Tomozaki realize what he really wants, and a confrontation with Hinami sets the course for the future of their relationship.
