TsuTome

TsuTome is the femslash ship between Tsubomi Takane and Tome Kurata from the Mob Psycho 100 fandom.

Canon
Tsubomi and Tome are both students at Salt Middle School, most likely from different classes-although it’s unknown and unconfirmed if that’s the case. While Tome and Tsubomi have no interactions in the span of the series, Tome is aware of Mob’s crush on Tsubomi, flustering him by referring to her as his girlfriend and saying it’s excellent how they kept in touch even after Tsubomi rejected Mob. They’re also paired together alongside Mezato in official arts and sketches, even hanging out at times.

Fanon
Despite their lack of interactions, TsuTome is the most written femslash ship of the Mob Psycho 100 fandom on Ao3, having 40+ fics written as of now. TsuTome is usually paired as a background ship for other slash ships such as TeruMob and SeriRei, but mostly the former. However, there is a good chunk that centers on TsuTome or balances it out with TeruMob.

TsuTome shippers often pair them together based on their contrasting positions, with Tsubomi being the “School-Idol” and Tome being the leader of the telepathy club, a club in which various students repeatedly referred to as being strange or downright weird. Individuals of the ship find irony in them ending up together, especially since according to Mob, Tsubomi would ideally be attracted to athletic guys, so her ending up with Mob’s slacker friend puts a lot of humor on the dynamic as a whole.

A less explored on dynamic is Tsubomi being envious of Tome’s ability to pursue her passion without fear of being ridiculed by others. Since Tsubomi is the School-Idol, she is very limited as to what she can and can’t be caught doing in fear of being laughed at. This is most present in the instance where Tsubomi sneezed and had snot explode all over her hand, her thought process in that moment mainly revolved around being worried her friends will take a picture of her face covered in snot and show it to the whole school, ruining her status. In contrast to Tome’s carefree, laidback style, Tsubomi constantly has eyes on her watching her every move.
