[[WMG: The authors are setting up Sayaka to be a MirrorCharacter to CringeComedy era Tomoko, or to revisit the roots by having Sayaka in Tomoko's role.]]
In more recent chapters, Sayaka have been on the receiving end of things that have happened to CringeComedy era Tomoko, namely Tomoki going physical on her and Kii-chan's CondescendingCompassion. These are things that have only happened to Tomoko beforehand, and in a meta sense, the authors may be PassingTheTorch of the CringeComedy role to Sayaka.

Ambiguous Disorder has been renamed to Diagnosed By The Audience and now belongs in YMMV.


Rather than simply being an AmbiguousDisorder, Yuri has actually have been diagnosed with either high functioning autism (she doesn't have any issues with day to day living apart from poor social ability and seems to have average intelligence if her marks are an indication) or Asperger Syndrome in-universe. However, due to the stigma surrounding developmental disorders in Japan, nobody apart from Yuri, her family (who might be unwilling to take Yuri to the therapy and social skills training that she needs), Mako (her best and only friend, and it's the reason why Mako is so accepting of Yuri's lack of tact and social graces) and maybe Ogino (who has pulled strings at the school to ensure that Yuri and Mako are in her homeroom every year, so that Yuri won't be completely socially isolated and has a sympathetic homeroom teacher). However, Tomoko might find out before the end of the third year, either through Yuri telling her (possibly during or after a falling-out that's being hinted at), or she finds out about it similarly to how she found out about Nemo's dream of being a voice actress. This might bring the two closer, or it could drive them permanently apart depending on Tomoko's reaction.

Unfortunately, things went downhill almost immediately afterward. For just as Asuka was about to come forward and admit her feelings, Fuuka then, without ever knowing how Asuka felt or was about to say, said something that was not absolutely moronic, but also ended up revealing that she was absolutely not into girls at all, couldn’t imagine what getting together with one romantically or sexually would be like, and/or maybe even found the whole idea of lesbianism icky. Whatever it was, it caused all of Asuka's previous feelings and respect for Fuuka to come crashing down. From her perspective, what Fuuka said was tantamount to a nasty rejection even if it wasn't meant to be or even aimed at her, and it's for that reason why she has since held the athlete at a distance and gets so bothered whenever she hears Fuuka sing. And for all these years, Fuuka still doesn't realize what effect she had on the young lady.

Asuka realized and accepted that she was a lesbian some time ago, possibly while she was still in middle school, and has since then been wanting to get into a relationship. However, she knows that her pickings are slim and is understandably hesitant to ask any girl out unless she is absolutely ''sure'' that they are also into girls, lest she suffer a very hurtful rejection. Enter Fuuka. Fuuka was someone who hit every button for her and on top of that was also beautiful, a terrific athlete, and an amazing singer. She just seemed like perfect girlfriend material in every way. After hearing one her peer sing her absolutely favorite song to her for her birthday, Asuka realized she was head over heels in love with Fuuka and believed that Fuuka felt the same way for her, and decided then and there that she would begin a relationship with her.

[[WMG: Predictions for Sachi-Tomoko interactions]]
* Sachi finds out that Tomoko is the older sister of Tomoki and decides to go after her. Initially Sachi looks down on Tomoko because that’s what she does and Tomoko also dislikes Sachi for this. However, with Tomoko being a WeirdnessMagnet and others’ tendencies to be confused by her the first time they meet, Sachi can’t figure out what type of person Tomoko is. She decides to go after her friends instead (excluding Yuri and Mako), but all the quirks they display combined breaks her.

Despite neither of them being the main character, nearly all of their interactions thus far have had elements of a typical romantic comedy MeetCute. It would also be a delicious bit of irony for the girl that Tomoki eventually ends up with to be the [[FaceOfAThug pure-hearted delinquent]] rather than his CovertPervert admirers. The two of them will serve as the unexpectedly stable BetaCouple to Tomoko, who will receive NoRomanticResolution with anyone for the sake of keeping things open-ended.

[[WMG:Tomoko will get into Aoyama, but none of her friends will pass with her]]

The alternative to the scenario above -- Tomoko passes, but ''none of her friends do''. While this is a kind of soft reset, it lays some groundwork for drama among the cast. Sure, Tomoko is much more socially capable before, but how much is she willing to invest into keeping the bonds she'd manage to make in high school. And is she willing to start over with other people IN college?

[[WMG:The manga has been an otome game all along]]
Sometime before the Kyoto trip, Tomoko started playing an otome game (likely a yuri-themed one "for a change of pace"), and what we've been seeing in the manga since then has just been how she imagines the story is playing out in her head. Characters like Yuri, Hina, Asuka, Ucchi, and Shizuku are all dateable girls in the game, and Tomoko is going down the harem route. Tomoko will succeed in her endeavor and capture all their hearts, and it will initially look like [[EarnYourHappyEnding she'll have gotten her happy ending]]...[[YankTheDogsChain only for things to pan out]] and reveal to us that it isn't real and it hasn't been since around chapter 70. Tomoko is just as friendless and socially awkward as ever, and there's no sign that she'll ever get better. And that's where the manga will end.

[[WMG:Yuri has a DarkAndTroubledPast]]
It could have involved Minami who was probably a more of a bully in the past which explains why Yuri laughed when Tomoko called Minami "Kibako" in retaliation. Then Mako happened which somehow led to Minami's sort-of redemption. Minami now avoid badmouthing Yuri now but still groups her as one of the "losers" in her mind only out of respect of Mako and Yuri allows Mako to bond with Minami as part of a ceasefire.

However the damage has been done that Yuri believes in SafetyInIndifference and is content with just having Mako from time to time. Yuri's new friendship with Tomoko makes it her [[NoSocialSkills lack of social skills]] apparent to the readers due to years of actively avoiding social interactions.

[[WMG: Yuri is autistic or an Aspie.]]
Accusations of autism are something that get thrown around a lot when talking about socially awkward and inept characters, however in Yuri's case they hold a little more weight. Yuri's record of poor behaviour-not reciprocating Mako's gifts of chocolate every Valentine's Day or thanking her for making lunch for both of them, barging into conversations with people she doesn't know, telling embarrassing stories about the field trip, ignoring people she doesn't care for, tactlessly saying that the table tennis team's loss was the fault of Asuka, Tomoko and Nemoto (when she herself only had a single win throughout the entire tournament), playing a spot the difference game at the afterparty while the others were actively talking with each other, happily telling Tomoko that they won't be getting into college-indicates that she lacks empathy for the feelings and emotions of others (a core ASD trait). She also expresses emotion very poorly, and her habit of grasping her elbow seems to be stimming-more traits of ASD. Her strength (said to be quite something for a scrawny teenage girl) and poor table tennis skill indicate poor motor control. Admittedly, Yuri hasn't displayed narrow interests, but readers don't actually know anything about her hobbies and interests yet.

Rather than simply being an AmbiguousDisorder, Yuri has actually have been diagnosed with either high functioning autism (she doesn't have any issues with day to day living apart from poor social ability and seems to have average intelligence if her marks are an indication) or Asperger Syndrome in-universe. However, due to the stigma surrounding developmental disorders in Japan, nobody apart from Yuri, her family (who might be unwilling to take Yuri to the therapy and social skills training that she needs), Mako (her best and only friend, and it's the reason why Mako is so accepting of Yuri's lack of tact and social graces) and maybe Ogino (who has pulled strings at the school to ensure that Yuri and Mako are in her homeroom every year, so that Yuri won't be completely socially isolated and has a sympathetic homeroom teacher). However, Tomoko might find out before the end of the third year, either through Yuri telling her (possibly during or after a falling-out that's being hinted at), or she finds out about it similarly to how she found out about Nemo's dream of being a voice actress. This might bring the two closer, or it could drive them permanently apart depending on Tomoko's reaction.

[[WMG:We'll ''finally'' be able to see how Ucchi really looks like when she becomes honest with herself regarding her feelings toward Tomoko]]

Once she finally realizes that [[spoiler:she is romantically attracted to Tomoko]], she'll be drawn (at least in that moment) as a normal person.
** Bonus points if she really ''does'' [[spoiler:resemble Yuu]].
