For now, he suggests the obvious tactic: not arguing with Konno for a bit.
In their next meeting, Tomozaki tells Aoi that Tama has made clear shewantsto change, for Mimimis sake.
But Aoi thinks if she changes none of this matters.
I have a feeling this doesnt simply refer to the current Konno conflict.
Tama also ignores Konno when she shoves her desk.
Thats the first clue to Mizusawa that something is up.
Mizusawa figured they were scheming about something related to Konno, and frankly he wants in.
Tomozaki decides this is a perfect chance for Tama to level up: by befriending Mizusawa.
Mizusawa admits that he does like her … as a friend.
He turns the line of questioning on Tamavis-a-visTomozaki, to which she denies a littletoovehemently.
When Mimimi encounters Tama with TomozakiandMizusawa, she notes what a smooth operator Tama has become.
I continue to ship Tomozaki and Mimimi.
Konnos petty attacks continue, but Tama stops reacting, engendering more sympathy from the class.
But Tomozaki is curious what exactly Aoi is doing, because it cant be nothing.
He spots her talking to Mao, one of Konnos friends, but doesnt know what about.
Hes on the outside, looking in.
In the next meeting with Tama, Mizusawa gets into the importance of emitting charm.
He then defines charm as having consistent vulnerability, citing Aois outsize love of cheese as an example.
I loved Tama wondering if Aoi does that on purpose, because,yes, shetotally does.
He believes shes in the right, and feels genuinely bad if his inaction hurt her.
Even Mizusawa looks impressed, if unsurprised.
If he hadnt, Mizusawa wouldnt be calling the four of them Team Tomozaki.
But this last time, Aoi is also there, and sees this Team Tomozaki for the first time.
The answer to that is, ofcourseit is.
Just look at that serene, completely unreadable expression!
Whatever it is Aoi is doing, I dont think shes really going to stop.
