Tomoko Saeki is a classmate (1-C) of Junta. She is considered the most beautiful and popular girl in Fukoma High school and her peerless beauty earned her the title Miss Fukoma. She is the girlfriend of Ryuuji Sugashita, at least until she meets up with Junta's Mega-Playboy side. Her insistence at getting Junta, even when he shows no interest, infuriates Ryuuji into taking revenge. After an epic fight between Junta and Ryuuji at Ryuuji's mansion, Tomoko chooses to stay with Ryuuji at the end.

Appearance

Tomoko stands significantly taller than all the other main female characters in the series. She has a very well-proportioned figure with sumptuous natural breasts and long straight legs. She has long and wavy dark brown hair that extends past her shoulders, dark brown eyes with long, voluminous eyelashes and fair skin.

Personality

Tomoko is a very complex girl. At first glance, she appears to be aggressive, spoiled, and used to having her own way. She can also act a bit arrogant and cruel, teasing and fooling Junta at the beginning of the series. She is quite confident in her unmatched beauty, thinking she can capture Junta's heart even after he told her he is seeing someone else.

It was later revealed the reason for Tomoko's personality was caused by relationship problems with her boyfriend and her father. Ryuuji was cheating on her constantly and her father was often away from home because of work. She told Junta that she felt very lonely.

Despite being very playful and flirtatious with Junta at the early part of the story, Tomoko is very serious and conservative about romantic relationship deep down. It was revealed that her boyfriend Ryuuji had never kiss or even touch her hand in the past. When Ryuuji transformed into Junta and entered her home, she eagerly asked him if he was serious about their relationship.

Tomoko is also rather kind and compassionate towards others. During the final showdown between Junta and Ryuuji at Ryuuji's mansion, she showed deep concerns for the safety and well-beings of Ryuuji as well as his other 'ex-girlfriends'.

At the end of the fight, despite once being deeply attracted to the Mega-playboys' charisma and appearance, Tomoko did not hesitate and chose to stay with and take care of the defeated and youth deprived Ryuuji. It was a clear sign that Tomoko was a girl with a pure heart and true love.

Reception

As a supporting character of the original series, Tomoko is well-received by the Doujinshi community. She is the main girl and hailed as the H-goddess in a popular fan-made dating sim game Simgirls, which is played over 60 million times worldwide. Among all the cute and popular female characters in Masakazu Katsura's works, Tomoko is also by far the most discussed in a Japanese forum topic 桂正和　総合スレッド (Masakazu Katsura General Thread). The scene where she was being striped by three thugs hired by Ryuuji at the Sea Zone restaurant also received tremendous amount of loves from passionate fans.
