This is the last of the three Tomo-chan Is a Girl! MomSwaps I wanted to do, with Tomo’s best friend Gundou and her business mommy. Now that these are done, there’s actually another anime with three mother/daughter pairs I saw recently. I don’t know when it’ll be, but probably the next MomSwap I do will be the first of those.
There are three mother/daughter pairings I really like from Tomo-cha Is a Girl!, and I’d like to do each of them in the MomSwap series. Like with Dragon Ball at the beginning of the series, I’ll alternate between them. We already got Tomo and Akemi, and since I’ve drawn Gundou already I figured Carol and her mother could be the next MomSwap. Carol’s a character I didn’t expect to like when she was first introduced, but she turned out to be one of the funniest members of the cast who often steals the scenes she’s in. Her mom’s especially cute, too, with an adorable accent. They have a great relationship, too, with some cute scenes together.
I was planning for the next MomSwap entry to be from Infinity Train, but I stared watching “Tomo-chan is a Girl” and got distracted. I was hesitant about this series, ’cause the premise feels pretty dated, but I liked Tomo’s design a lot and decided to try it based solely on that. I did end up liking the show, and there’s other pairings I’d like to draw from it eventually, but I decided to jump on this mother/daughter pairing ASAP.
