So the phrase on their class shirt is まともじゃない
This is the same one Misuzu was wearing in the previous chapter where they translated it as dishonest. However, according to jisho.org, まとも when written as kana alone (instead of 正面) means "front" not "honest". So their shirts literally say "Not the front".

That's just you not reading. This was 721, right after an long flashback arc about growing up believing Tomo was a boy and then releasing she was a girl in middle school, eventually deciding to pretend she's not a girl and treat her like a boy to hide his feelings, which was the arc that happened right after Jun got his Nintendo DS back from Tomo from when he was a kid and had a watershed moment.
But really the whole manga has been riddled with side conversations and panel reactions between Jun and Misuzu indicating he is attracted to Tomo, but he's just lying to himself to preserve the status quo(in fact, Misuzu said exactly this to his face to make fun of him).

It feels like a machine made this using an incomplete template of a real story, randomly inserting other characters each time in the different roles and being given a different backdrop and theme occasionally.

And suppose, for argument's sake, that by some invisible hand, by some arcane magic, or through one of those treadmark FumitaSkips the very next chapter would show Tomo and Jun already together in a relationship!

That's so light that it barely qualifies as Misu having done anything wrong, because Tomo is already feminine enough while still keeping her tomboy charm and she should absolutely feel that way from being confessed to not from what some friend told her. If that's really it then Misu has no fault in this and it's just Tomo being autistic, which doesn't surprise me since this sort of autism is a Fumita special.

>And what we mean by 'brainwashing' is not the typical, sensationalised depictation of the subject one sees in a Hollywood film or reads in a spy novel or western newsprint.
>Brainwashing, in and of itself is a simple, three-step process, as invented and implimented by the maoists in China: it involves putting an impressionable-enough subject in isolation for the first phase of the process.
>His defences are further weakened by being put into an state of isolation and frequent sleep deprivation, and poor nurition. Furthermore, he is disallowed any contact, verbal or physical with the outside world. Even his own biological clock most be put out of phase with the natural environment.
>It is in this state that the same, simple messages and principles are repeated to him, by simple, non-personal means such as a loudspeaker or writing, ad nauseam.
>Next the subject is released into a group of already-indoctorinated subjects, where they can discuss various matter, and it is through group-discussion about any subject that he actually sees these simple principles in action, and learns how to apply them.
>Now, the subject is completely indoctrinated, and sees everything through the lense of these principles. He can now be released into the outside world where he himself spreads your ideas.
>What the Chinese did not realise was the fact that: a. The subject needs not be in a mandatory, or a literal state of isolation (e.g.; a POW) nor that b. These steps must be taken in this exact order. This is exactly what makes /a/non a perfect subject and 4koma a perfect medium fo this sort of experiment:
>Here's where FumitaWashing comes into play. First of all the subject is already integrated into a group. Second, he is isolated from the outside world, but neither literally, nor by force.
>Technically he can go outside, he can speak with random strangers. He knows what time of the day it is by the virtue of the many clocks on his electronic devices and gadgets. He can see the sunlight if he wants to.
>But he willingly isolates himself from all these sources. His biological clock is out of order with the natural environment. He willingly subjects himself to sleep deprivation just because he's discovered some interesting doujin at 4 am, he wants to listen to a particular stream, or someone, somewhere is wrong on the Internet, and needs to be corrected.
>His only cotact points with the outside world are his mum whom he sees begrudgingly twice a day and the occasional postman.
>Furthermore, he willingly subjects himself to mental torture, just like a heroine addict who knows the infernal drug is ruining him, both mentally and physically, but he is compelled to take his daily dose (but we have already inspected this aspect in detail in chapters III-VII).
>He may be further isolated from the rest of his favourite Chinese tapestry discussion group by factors such as summerfags, a particularly bad season, an influx of outsiders from cuckchan, a temporary laxation of moderation, a weariness of seasonal anime, etc.
>At this point, he sees everything through the lense of Tomo-chan'.
>He might read the best manga in recent memory, and he only thinks "if only Tomo-chan were this good". He plays a VN and he only thinks "if only this character was Jun, and I had the option of punching him in the face"!
>He sees his mum nagging him about getting a job and only thinks "if this was Jun, I could kick the everloving shit out of him and call him a 'faggot'". He sees the postman and he only thinks "if only it was Fumita instead of this guy at my door, so I could rip him to pieces".
>He goes to Japan, and all he can think of is "how do you get your hands on a club in this country?! I want to track Fumita down and give him a good whacking".
>Finally, he sees another page of the source of all his mental anguish, and he wishes "if only ''Tomo-chan got an anime adaptation".

There's no reason a page-a-day story can't be coherent or good. The main problem with this manga isn't even the fact that it advances slowly, but how the author doesn't have enough fresh material to keep things at this pace in an interesting way. Nobody would give a fuck if Tomo and Jun didn't get together for another year if the humor wasn't recycled and there was at least other meaningful reasons for delaying it besides the characters being flat out stupid. I only keep up with it because Tomo is cute, and because there's some masochistic joy in anticipating the near-artistic methods Fumita will use to disappoint me again.
