A brief recap of Tomo-chan is a Girl! episode 11

Tomo sought an opinion from Misuzu about doing a part-time job to earn enough money so she could buy something expensive and valuable for Jun. Misuzu agreed, but as she didn’t want to leave Tomo alone, she also wanted to work alongside her, and subsequently, Carol joined them as well. The trio agreed to work in Tanabe’s family restaurant.

The protagonist was initially anxious about her new job but eventually got used to the environment. Misuzu switched to her opposite personality, where she became more cheerful and got praised for her impressive hospitality. Carol did a fine job attracting customers with her overloaded cuteness.

All of a sudden, Tomo became petrified after witnessing Junichiro at the restaurant. Tomo was furious over Tanabe as he didn’t give her a heads up regarding Junichiro being a regular customer. After getting paid, the trio headed to their homes. After waiting for Tomo outside the restaurant, Junichiro walked her home.

Later the next day, Tomo gifted a smartwatch to Junichiro, identical to hers. The former noted that the latter had been acting strangely around her lately. At school, Misuzu devised a trap to make Tomo get closer to Junichirou by pushing him down the stairs, which ended up being a disaster as Junichiro fell on Carol instead and later got beaten by Tomo.

Misuzu started feeling guilty about getting between Tomo and Jun and later took multiple sick days out of school. Concerned about Misuzu’s health, Tomo visited her house and handed her the Cinderella stage play script. The next day, Misuzu arrived at school infuriated as he discovered she was cast as the main lead.

Tomo took on the roles of Prince Kit Charming, Carol as the evil stepmother, and Jun as an ordinary tree. After school ended, Jun helped Tomo practice her lines for the upcoming Cinderella stage play.
