Tohka always carries a ladle and shows no mercy to anyone she's up against. At the end of the first season, she went overseas, but has since traveled back and forth between Japan and Italy, and will appear in the second season. Her intimidating presence makes everyone tremble in fear, even Tokoromori has to kneel down and beg, and Kumin-senpai ends up being attacked due to a mistake. However, she also has a shy side and can't be honest with others. This time, we'll introduce you to Tohka, a character who must be handled with care.

Tohka first appears in the first episode of Season 2, suddenly enraged at Rikka for not telling her the address of her new home before leaving for Italy (keeping it a secret that she's living with Yuuta) and for not answering her phone. Realizing that Rikka is hiding something, she pulls out her customary ladle from her inner pocket and prepares for battle.

Tohka dashes in to buy some time before Tohka arrives. In the first season, he opens his right hand and thrusts it forward while expressing his resentment at Tohka for forcing him to eat cheese, but when Tohka sees this, she emanates an evil aura... and that's no surprise, as Morika has written the word "idiot" in magic marker on Tokomori's palm as a prank.

Faced by Tohka, the members of Far East Magic prepare for battle and begin a fantasy battle. As expected, Rikka and the other active chuunibyou sufferers would have the advantage in the fantasy world, but Tohka's power is overwhelming even in the fantasy battle. In the end, they roast her whole in the oven, bringing the battle to an end.

After learning that Yuuta and Rikka were living together, Tohka begins her lecture, calling Rikka "my little sister." She then offers to take her to Italy with her if she can't find a room. Although she has had many dramatic fights with Rikka, she seems to be worried about her adorable younger sister.

Previously, she found a gravure magazine featuring busty women under Yuuta's bed, but this time she pulls out not just one, but six magazines from behind his back and around his sides. She looked just like a magician.

Due to her trip to Italy, Tohka's appearances have been significantly reduced compared to Season 1. After only appearing early in Season 2, she returns in Episode 9. At first, we only catch a glimpse of her back as she looks out at the sea, but those who have been eagerly awaiting her return will know at a glance that it's Tohka.

When Tohka visits the beach house where Yuuta and his friends help out, Kuzuha offers her some yakisoba. Tohka devours it and declares, "I passed." She then invites Kuzuha to come to Italy with her. In the first season, Tohka took just one bite of a dish at a family restaurant and criticized it for being outdated. It's impressive that she can say something like this.

A 7-year-old girl who came to Japan with Tohka. She's the daughter of the manager of the restaurant where Tohka is training, but Tohka claims she's her own. Tohka isn't usually the type to joke, and because she said it with a straight face, everyone in the room believed her. Even when she shyly explained that it was an Italian joke, no one laughed.

Tohka was cooking yakisoba alongside Kuzuha at the beach house. Perhaps making yakisoba ignited her chef's spirit, as she was later spotted making yakisoba at the pool.

Tohka only knows Shichimiya by calling him "that scarf." However, when they part ways at the pool, she mutters to Yuuta, "So you only have eyes for Rikka," and it seems she was one of the first to realize Nanamiya's feelings. When she returned to Italy, she left a message for Yuuta saying, "Let me know if you're in trouble."
Tohka Summary

In Season 2, Tohka only makes brief appearances early and midway through, which may have left fans a little disappointed. However, Tohka still leaves a strong impression, as expected of Tohka. If a sequel is made, I hope she'll have even more screen time!
