a tomboy that does not say 'boku' may be an imperfect tomboy, but does she make up for it by the interesting way she says 'senpai'?
>>289752238I don't know if I'd call Ai a tomboy in any respect.
>>289752706as wildly off-base as the tomboy label gets applied sometimes (>>289752204), Ai is exemplary of the classical archetype of a tomboy, more so than any fantasy of a bro that likes all the same things as you but has a pussy
>>289752886But Kaoru is right there.
>>289753203they're both different styles in the same genre but Ai is much stronger in the coming-of-age insecurity about her own femininity finding outlets in boyish hobbies like sports or jumping off swings, guarded nature mistrusting of people's motives and not wanting to show her weaknesses to the people she cares about, wanting to be a big sister and a good role model to younger boys rather than a doting mother figure, etc
once a tomboy has let you in you can get them to do anything
