Tomoko, affectionately known as Mococchi, is popular for her adorable efforts to escape her loner status. The story revolves around being unpopular and not being able to make friends, but if you take a closer look at the characters, you'll notice that Mococchi is actually popular! Let's explore who Mococchi's soulmate is!

Tomoki, the younger brother who secretly supports his older sister

Although he may seem cold at first glance, it is her younger brother, Tomoki, who supports Tomoko the most in everyday situations. Even when they fight, their relationship, where they can say whatever they want to each other, is somewhat enviable. And above all, even though he's constantly at the mercy of his sister's eccentricities and gets angry, he never ignores her. In contrast to his sister, Tomoki has many friends and is what you might call a "real life happy person." However, he doesn't have a girlfriend and always looks after his sister. Could it be because he has feelings that transcend the boundaries between siblings?!

Yu-chan, Tomoko's best friend since middle school

Popular doesn't necessarily mean with the opposite sex. Yu-chan, Tomoko's best friend since middle school, is also one of the characters who adores Tomoko. She started high school at a different high school than Tomoko, and while she has new friends and a boyfriend, she still keeps in regular contact with Tomoko and hangs out with her. Although Tomoko sometimes sexually harasses her, going beyond the realm of friendship, she doesn't seem to mind. In fact, perhaps she's trying to seduce Tomoko with her vulnerable words, actions, and clothing!

I Want to Protect My Big Sister! Ki-chan

Ki-chan, Tomoko's cousin, once adored her as a woman with plenty of experience with men. Once he realizes that it was all just Tomoko's delusion, he begins to feel a new affection for her, something different from admiration. Even when he sees her pathetic behavior of lying and cheating, Ki-chan never abandons her and remains considerate. She's truly an angel. Perhaps a deep, almost maternal love for Tomoko is beginning to blossom!?

Even minor characters are actually popular with her!?

Although Tomoko is practically invisible at school, the unnamed characters often take notice of her. For example, some middle school boys peeking into a hotel reluctantly let her join in, and a stranger even bought her an umbrella when she was sheltering from the rain. She's even been praised as the queen of card games by her elementary school friends! In fact, she's quite popular outside of school!

Summary

Tomoko's dark side and dirty jokes often make you wonder if she's a good enough girl! But isn't she a unique and compelling heroine? Her efforts are futile, but even when she behaves in a way that would turn people off, there are still people who follow her. Perhaps she has some hidden charisma...? Maybe we'll see Tomoko's harem someday! I hope there will be a second season of the anime!
