<p><a href="http://www.wordsense.eu/Suguru/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wordsense.eu/Suguru/</a> seems to define <em>suguru</em> as "male given name".<br>
As far as referencing goes, I think it'd be reasonable to say it's just a picture of a guy's face where an equivalent to "guy" is written underneath. </p>

I don't really buy this explanation. It seems too arbitrary. As noted [here](http://netyougo.com/2ch/6572.html), _suguru_ is internet slang derived from すぎる _sugiru_ that roughly means something like "too much" or "excessively". I have a strong sense that Tomoko's shirt is related to this usage of _suguru_, but I haven't been able to figure out exactly what the relationship is.

Perhaps it's a double entendre. I could buy that she'd wear shirt that promoted "excessively" into "guys", "into" being that she's wearing a shirt of a guy. But I might be a little too imaginative. Or maybe the right amount. Hope you have better luck finding a better relationship of the two. I'd like to be sure in the end.

Suguru is also a common forename in Japanese.

<p>In episode 4, Tomoko is using a shirt with a drawing.  </p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/lBwLH.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/lBwLHm.jpg" alt="Mokocchi and her shirt"></a>  </p>

<p>The shirt has a drawing of a face, and すぐる (suguru) written on it.</p>

<p>Since this series makes references to others quite often, I wondered if the shirt is a reference to something.<br>
If not, does the shirt have any significance at all?</p>
