Unlike the title, this anime tells the top-tier story of an unskilled, bottom-tier main character, Tomozaki, who overcomes several challenges in his high school life. This, as the story's major background, is quite appealing to mankind, who like the school-themed genre. Of course, some events must occur to establish the setting. Tomozaki met Hinami and progressed through his "life game," leading to a close relationship with his peers. In this occasion, Tomozaki was assigned the "life game" of dealing with social situations in class. As a result, he has developed and identified his role and capabilities within the group.
The way social interactions were elaborated as a game was the cherry on top of making the show entertaining. It somehow prompted me to reminisce about the fun time watching Oregairu, which has some similarities. So, if you are a fan of the Volunteer Service Club, you might have a fun time watching Tomozaki-kun. It’s just like how Hikigaya in Oregairu who has a twisted view on life and hence isolates himself from others was developing by helping students in trouble and starting to make bonds in terms of friendship and romance ever since he was allocated to the Service Club. As for Tomozaki, the encounter with NoName or Hinami changed his dull life into a challenging game. The training for redefining his life in a classroom with Hinami is where it all started.
In s2, we are able to witness once more how developed Tomozaki has become and how he has influenced the people around him. Somehow, he's made it to a place where he must figure out the value of a relationship and his feelings for the two ladies he wants to be closer to. Certainly, Tomozaki is a total stranger in front of romance. We know that with the progression of the anime so far, it’s either Kikuchi or Nanami. Picking a girl out of two that both have a good feeling for you is something common in rom-coms, and it’s surely unbearable to see the loser after a decision has been made, especially considering that the loser is the one you favour or side with. Although it was heartbreaking for Mimimi, but Kikuchi finally be together with Tomozaki was just lovely.
As an anime-only audience, all these dramas of picking a girl out of two have been initiated and led by Hinami, while Tomozaki always obeyed the assignment given to him. Therefore, it will be interesting to know more about Hinami in the future or to see conflict between the mentor and mentee, which we saw at the end of season 1 as the story developed. Although there is an underlying scenario that the MC would end up together with Hinami, so far, the Hinami we have seen is merely a persistent yet sometimes cruel perfectionist, as if she is shielding herself. Nonetheless, what’s the truth behind her facade? As of now, the last episode seemed like a happy ending, which left me pondering about the later story and whether Hinami is the predestined girl for Tomozaki. If that’s the case, what about Kikuchi!?
Anyway, it's pointless to speculate on what will happen next; all I can hope for is a sequel announcement as soon as feasible. To be honest, the bullying incident at the start of the show was casual in the sense that it was more of a side quest for Tomozaki to assist Tama-chan, but the rest of the episodes were the major challenge. Overall, the ending may appear rushed and unsatisfactory, but not every anime adaptation or production team can meet the demand for a consistent series composition. In short, Jaku Chara Tomozaki kun might have been the best adaptation, with Project No. 9 providing consistent quality, and the overall watching experience has been rather satisfying, particularly the scenes in which Tomozaki appears seated in between Hinami's thigh gap, which are absolutely fantastic !
