Maybe they only saw short-hair Tomo in unisex clothes? But that would require really selective watching/reading if it took them a while to figure out -- she probably looks most boyish in the Okinawa trip, and she's wearing a strapless top at some point in there.

>>216987
Oh, that kinda makes sense, actually.
I can sort of see that you might think that if you just saw that cover... sort of...

>>216987
The first time I think I saw Tomo was on this cover, and I did mistake her for a boy at the time.

Maybe the only picture they saw of her was one of her sexually molesting Yomi.

My mom though vol. 4 cover Tomo was a boy.

She is often a boy in doujins.

>>216987
are hot pants really considered uni-sex clothes?

>>216995
In Japan in the 90s, yes.

I can see that someone might be confused if they looked at particular pages from the manga only (such as that cover posted in this thread) but from the anime? I'm not sure that's possible! Her voice is certainly feminine even if you are watching the sub and don't understand a word of Japanese, and as OP explained there's the obviously female school uniform too.

>Tomo was a boy

dem thighs

>>216999

She really IS Japanese.

>>217027

I'm rather unfamiliar with Japanese thighs. What about them solidifies her nationality?

>>217028

It's hard to describe. I can only tell you to find a pair for yourself and to grab ahold of them tight. Only then will you truly know.

>>217127
>>217122
>>217244
>>217245

>>217028

That Japanese women tend to have surprisingly meaty thighs for such small statures?

That's quite a lot of pipes Ralen. Is it because the pics are by the same artist but you want each pic posted in a thread most relevant to their content. If so that's very dedicated of you in preserving the purity of the threads topic, for I can recall countless examples of threads going awry from their intended subject. Kudos.

>>217881
"Pipes"?

It's partly because they're all by the same artist, but also because they're all copies of the updated full page character art at the beginning of each chapter from the revised editions of Azumanga.

Maybe they from Scotlan-

"Tomo's Adventure"

When I first read Yotsuba, I though Miura was a boy.

But I guess that is a little more understandable.

>>220225
Well, yes, considering that androgyny is Miura's defining physical characteristic.

And when I first read Yotsuba, I though Jumbo and Koiwai were a couple...
I mean, really...

When I first read Yotsuba, I thought Yotsuba was a little girl. Turns out ...

>>220244 . . . She's a Nazi warlord hiding in Japan to avoid prosecution for war crimes?

>>220249

when I first started reading Yotsuba, I thought Asagi and Torako were a lesbian couple. And I think that even more now.

When I first read To Serve Man, I thought it was a cook book...

When I first watched Star Wars, I thought Darth Vader was Luke's father.

when I first read /azu/, I though Ralen was a bro..

>>220280
Wow, that is one androgynous person.

You'd still have sex with it.

>>220291
Who, >>220280 or >>216986 ?

If your friends got into anime/manga sometime in the past few years I wouldn't blame them. It's seems it has gotten into a small scale trend to have characters appear as the opposite sex more and more. That's the intention of some series, either as the plot or just a schick.

Wildcat Highschool Girl

When I first read Animal Farm I thought it was just a story about talking animals.

And I never thought Tomo was a boy, but I was convinced she was a jerk I would end up hating.
That conviction lasted for about an hour and then she was my waifu until I discovered the depths of Sakaki.

1.
Tomo: "Morn'!"
Yomi: "Hm?"
2.
Yomi: "Where'd you get that bike, Tomo?"
Tomo: "Heheh... I bought it."
3.
...
4.
Tomo: "I lied. I just swiped it (from over there)."
Yomi: "(You moron!) Put it back, right now!!"

>>222543
Yukari has taught her well

While I completely denounce the act of sex and violence together (coughfiftyshadesofgreycough), I can see myself choking Tomo in missionary position.

>>216986
To think Tomo could be a dude. Ha! Some people...
>>220263
Ha ha. What a story, "Mark"!
You mean it? You spoiled the twist by figuring out that Vader was Luke's dad? Because I've spoiled twists for myself and then there's unsatisfying "I saw it coming" thing...
>>222543
Tomo no swiping! Tomo no swiping! Tomo no swiping!
>>222545

>I can see myself choking Tomo in missionary position

Missionary position?! You sick bastard! Next you're gonna tell us you'd do it for the purpose of reproduction, you monster.
The only good missionary position is the book.
Well... different strokes, I guess. You dislike S&M and I own a riding crop but no horse...

And this "I can see myself doing this or that sex act with Azumanga characters" comment reminds me of something. Some years back I tried to close my eyes during sex and imagine I was with Sakaki. I must have tried it like 5 or 6 times.
Never try it. It just doesn't work. It doesn't work AT ALL! And you feel like an idiot afterwards. Way better to fap to some hot NSFW art than to waste sexy time by picturing a fictional character while fucking. Real life and fantasy are to be kept separate, in my opinion.

>>222561
What if you close your eyes during masturbation to imagine you're with Sakaki?

>>222564
I could do that but I have the internet. Which means, as you know, unlimited access to SNFW pictures of her to look at while making baby Jesus cry.
The thing is, I wouldn't advise picturing anime characters while actually fucking. At least for me the experience was miserable, since I couldn't focus on what I was doing. It may work for others, I don't know.

>>220270
So when exactly did you figure out the Ralen is beyond gender?

>>222561
you're just not trying hard enough:
http://youtu.be/S18ac9AeUxY?t=1m45s

>>222570
That's totally unrealistic. The fat dude is surrounded by figurines and is clearly thinking about the girls of his fantasies, which means he can't be doing a good job; yet the lady moans.
Sure, bitch could be faking it. Still unrealistic, though. Also, what kind of degenerate keeps his glasses on during sexy time?

That being said, thanks for the clip. I'm totally gonna watch that now.

>>222572
Oh man, I remember that show.
I also remember how in the US televised version of that episode, they extended her hair to cover up her nipples.

>>222568
Even pictures are no match for a good imagination sometimes.

Although I'm still not quite clear on what it is about Steve Nash's Fitness World that turns you on, or what that has to do with Sakaki.

not a boy

I wasn't being serious, I was hopping on the bandwagon...

>>222627 Ah holy vc:chawdness (not a word), how did you get out of your box? Someone call in SD, it'll be like old times, people will be talking, I'll be lurking in order to snag translations. Good times.

>>222628
Damn... the SD...
I think about him every day. Well, maybe not every day. frankly I'm not sure if I actually think every day, but I sure think about that crazy cunt quite often.

I like to think he's up there somewhere, with the Angels, looking down at us and smiling.

The Angels are a team of cheerleading strippers that live in a luxurious hot air balloon. I just made them up but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

I kept forgetting something: this is the original pic. The Tomo cosplayer with the face of a man I posted before is a pretty well done shop.

What did Ayumu-san f--- up on her graph? "この点は出も(?)えよ" -- something about one of the points?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_reassignment_surgery_%28male-to-female%29

It may be hard for us to understand what some one wants out of life, and what what they want to be. Welcome to 2013.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QjT3u_m3a0&list=AL94UKMTqg-9AV2j5albNbkcAn0O54fKZ2

>>223515
There is no fucking swear filter.
They look like この点は出あえよ to me. I can barely see the characters, so that may not count for much. How do you fuck up cubics outside of high school junior math classes anyways?

>>223516
Hold the phone, m8. Tomo wants to be a boy? Wasn't she the one constantly going on about her breasts and tried to emulate Fujiko from Lupin III? If I can imagine any of the Azugirls wanting to change their sex, it's Kagura. Saging because none of mine.

>>223517
Watch the hand, Takino.

>>223515
この点は出ねぇよ！

It looks like some sort of meme originating from this video.
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xd550r_yyyyyyyyy_fun&start=155

Here's the background information I've been able to gather.
Nobuya Ogino (the guy in the video) is a famous lecturer at Yoyogi Seminar (a major cram school). In 2004 he did an online lecture for the school's spring course, which appears to be the video you see above. Because of his unusual speech and mannerisms it was an immediate source of exploitative material for 2ch, which went on to turn it into a meme.

>>223521
He linked to the "male to female" section, so I think he's saying Tomo is a boy who's transitioning to a girl.
Which makes sense, although if that's the case I'm not sure why she'd cut her hair at the end of the series like she did.

>>223528
I didn't read it all the way, and since Tomo's really boylike already...

With the improved hormone drugs we have today, shemales can be really damn cute.

http://youtu.be/bwzvsNxVt3I

>>223530
Wow, 10/10, would bang. She sounds really feminine too. That's quite the change, but since she looked rather femme as a boy, it kinda lessens the impressed feeling.

>>223531
In the majority of the later shots she looks pretty good, but there's that 1 shot for every 10 where something just looks... off...

>>223532
It's her cheeks, right? They look mannish if you look at them in a certain way.

Every other kid looks feminine in my eyes. I probably look more feminine now since I lost all that baby fat.

Anyway, I'd band the shit out of her/him, too. She goes into details into what I was genuinely curious about with a transgender's sex-life, like when you eat them out. Apparently, they can still feel like they "bust a nut", but not the sensation women feel when they orgasm, Ah, well...

>>223536
I wonder how it would feel like eating her out. Since, you know, her vagina's an inverted penis and all that. I'm trying to imagine now. Would it feel the same, or different?

>>223539
Well, she wouldn't produce natural lubrication in the same way that regular females would.

>>223540
Would anything come out at all? Since the body treats it as a wound and not genitalia, I can't really imagine fluids coming out. I really need to go find a post-op transexual woman and ask her (or fuck her, whichever works for her). Because I am legitimately curious right now.

Looking further into her videos, she mentions she goes out with several guys, having sex, and mentions she's a post-op to them afterwards.
I have no idea since I haven't seen the hoochy-cooch itself, but I've wondered, "How the fuck would these guys not know?" Unless they really haven't seen a vagina before.

>>223542
Maybe they're into anal. Or maybe sex-change technology today is just that good (I imagine going from a female to male is much harder).

If you went out with a girl, you had some pretty good sex and generally a good time, and she then told you that she used to be a man, would you get mad? I imagine I would feel somewhat betrayed, but if the sex was good, I would be hard pressed to actually find a problem.

>>223541

>Would anything come out at all?

Men produce a degree of lubrication too (some more than others) so I suppose it's possible for the surgeon to redirect that to lubricate the new vagina instead.

>>223542

>"How the fuck would these guys not know?"

I've seen some photos of post-op transgenders online, and it actually looks fairly convincing. I haven't seen the whole thing spread open so I don't know how the insides look compared to a genuine female, but from a cursory overview they looked pretty good. Even if certain things did look a little bit off, if you're trying to have sex with a girl, you're probably not going to say "Why does your pussy look so weird?"

>>223543
I'm open minded and everything, but if a girl told me after the fact that she was really a transgendered male, I would feel betrayed. That's actually a fear of mine; I've had recurring dreams where I meet some girl and we hit it off, and then as things are getting serious I find out she was born a man.
It's not because I'm prejudiced against transgendered people or anything, it's because in my mind, it means I wasn't good enough to get a real girl; I've had to settle for an imitation.

>>223544
Don't get so down on yourself mate. You'll get a real girl one day. I don't really have that fear myself. If the girl was a nice girl, I wouldn't feel so down on myself. Sure it would be awkward as hell, but I would put some effort in the relationship so that it wouldn't be so awkward. Because if I bothered staying after hearing the news and not running out the door in disgust, then the girl must be worth it.

If that type of information isn't disclosed by the time you get her in bed, either you take things way to quickly, or she's a real selfish bitch who cares nothing for anything about you other then what you can do for her. That or alcohol, avoid the alcohol kids.

>>223546

>Avoid the alcohol.

You know that hard thing Yotsuba has trouble showing? It starts with an R. I didn't learn to show that properly till my senior year of high school. One would be surprised at what beer googles and impaired judgment can enable one to do, especially at that age.

>because in my mind, it means I wasn't good enough to get a real girl.

I'd sympathize if you (in general) were persistent in trying to grab that ass.

Otherwise, if you end up like this:
http://youtu.be/0bomkgXeDkE
Then you have more issues than you can handle.

>>223549
Ralen's gonna wind up like my loser of a stepdad? Say it ain't so, Joe!

I love those, those are fucking hilarious. I especially loved how bald and forever alone they looked. "Hi, mom" will ring with me forever. I think it's a long way away before any of us wind up like...Who am I kidding, I'm pretty sure we have some people like that somewhere around here.

>>223548

>Didn't learn how to tone down the drinking until I turned 18

Seriously?

Another Tomopic. I feel like I may have seen this one before... Or at least another one with Osaka drawn in this style.

>>223551
I started drinking when I was 16. 16 year olds getting plastered over the weekend isn't really out of the ordinary here in Bumfuck, Illinois. I am 100% sure all that self-indulgence is gonna cause complications with my liver later in my life though, so please don't see this as me bragging.

I drank saki when I turned 21. Haven't touched liquor since.
The only other time I drank was when I was 5...

>>223550
Hey, I'm not bald!

I'm bald where it counts.

>>223559
your butt?

I'm not bald at all. I'm 23 and with thick hair on my forearms, my legs, my asshole, my belly, and my face.

>>223553
If we can get back on topic, that picture is kawaii as fuck.

>>224232
tomo with clean underwear

do you really think a person as lazy and frivolous as tomo takes the care to wipe thoroughly?

>>224242
Having seen Tomo in doujins, I would expect other stains (and a cockbulge) with the shitstains.

I saw this drawing by Haruyama and instantly recognized it as Tomo.

Turns out it's some girl called Ayumi Takahara from this series:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_God_Only_Knows

Is that Tomo and Osaka?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXYZGlcMMRk

"A girl who's not used to flattery."
Tomo: "You're... too kind..."

>>227197
Okay, so Chiyo would be Toto, Osaka would be the Scarecrow, Sakaki would be Dorothy, Nyamo would be Glinda the Good Witch of the South...
I really think Kagura would be better suited as the Tin Woodsman though. Tomo could be the Wicked Witch of the West.
Yomi would be Oz.
Um... Kaorin would be the Cowardly Lion I guess.
Kimura would be a flying monkey.

Yukari would be the Wicked Witch of the East.

There's some wiggle room in there (I could see Yukari or Kaorin in multiple roles) but that seems like a pretty solid lineup.

>>227197
Found where it came from
http://cartoonlion.deviantart.com/art/A-Wiz-of-Oz-40-95839967
there's a buttload of azu related fancomics there

>>227198
Personally I think Maya would be better suited for Toto. Of course, that doesn't leave a part for Chiyo.

Maybe she could be the narrator. And Tomo could be the tornado that blows Sakaki to Oz.

>>227412
Saw these pop up on Twitter a bit. If I read right, there was a campaign about meat and people were protesting online or some shit. Japanese took the idea and created a meme off it.

As suggestive as this pic's supposed to look, I can't help but laugh whenever I see it. What's Tomo even trying to do with Yomi, and how did she manage to knock her out cold?

>>227564
I could say something about Tomo saying something insightful knocking Yomi for a loop - - but Tomo probably head-butted her.

"You're incorrigible."
"Ehehe..."

Doodled Tomo being cheeky on a can of juice.

I've been using sticky notes for a lot of things lately.

>>229422
Hm, Tomo as a minigirl... I wonder how that would play out.

>>229423

She'd be annoying as hell all the time. Yomi would eventually step on her in anger, and then be depressed about it for the rest of her life.

>>229423
Adorably I assume.

I imagine Tomo is one of those people who take odd or ridiculous photos of themselves that they would never show in public.

damn I hate this bitch

>>229420
>>229433

That Tomo looks like a saiyan. Just saiy'an!

>>229422
A bit off topic, but I was browsing one of my playlists for Christmas videos to play for my family (I hate them), but then I came across this video:
http://youtu.be/Q2SE2-EI2-8

Did you make that, or is it just someone who nicked your name and illustrations?
If it is you, I really like your edits! I only like one other YTpooper. The who made Tomorrow I'll and then turned into a furry.

>>229507 Yup, that was me. Thanks for noticing! Your folks are gonna have quite an experience when that one plays..

Also I'd like to mention, Igiulamam/Oiramapap was the one who made that "Tomorrow I'll" ytpmv, and I was a fan of all her videos before I started making poops myself. If I remember correctly, she always was a furry, but eventually got tired of keeping it concealed for so long. I still don't think she deserved the backlash she got for it.

^I didn't know she experienced a backlash. I thought she was just tired of YT flagging her videos for one reason or another, then just gave up. She had an amazing talent for remixes and just editing videos to make them appear vulgar.
I spent years searching for her old videos and finally found my favorite just a few weeks ago.

It's been awhile since I've seen some cute-sexy Tomo art like this.

Am I getting too old to be calling teenaged girls sexy?
Does one ever get too old for that?

I just realized that Tomo's ringtone is the chorus of her image song.
