Synopsis

It's Shouko Komi's first day at the prestigious Itan Private High School, and she has already risen to the status of the school's Madonna. With long black hair and a tall, graceful appearance, she captures the attention of anyone who comes across her. There's just one problem though—despite her popularity, Shouko is terrible at communicating with others.

Hitohito Tadano is your average high school boy. With his life motto of "read the situation and make sure to stay away from trouble," he quickly finds that sitting next to Shouko has made him the enemy of everyone in his class! One day, knocked out by accident, Hitohito later wakes up to the sound of Shouko's "meow." He lies that he heard nothing, causing Shouko to run away. But before she can escape, Hitohito surmises that Shouko is not able to talk to others easily—in fact, she has never been able to make a single friend. Hitohito resolves to help Shouko with her goal of making one hundred friends so that she can overcome her communication disorder.

I just finished Komi Can't Communicate by Tomohito Oda—a series that’s been with me on and off for almost five years now. After the non-stop adventure of One Piece, I was looking for something more laid-back and heartfelt, and Komi’s world delivered exactly that.

As an introvert, I found Komi’s struggle to connect incredibly relatable. Though I don’t have a communication disorder, watching her move from silence to self-expression—first by jotting down her thoughts and then, bit by bit, speaking—felt like a personal journey of growth. The story is simple, centered on high school life and the everyday challenge of making friends, yet it manages to ...

The manga ended this week but there's a final 500th chapter coming in the volume, but I won't be able to read that, so I'm writing my review now.

This manga is full of wacky, kooky characters. It becomes bigger than it feels like it will be when you read the premise. There's something for everyone and sometimes something that's not for everyone, but I appreciate the mangaka's commitment to creating so many different and unique characters for a premise that could be boring and pedestrian if other mangaka tried to write it. It was fun to meet all the weirdoes and watch them mature ...

Preliminary (20/500 eps)
Don't usually make reviews and I don't mean to be pessimistic by any means but I just really feel like this series is literally the most overhyped series of all time.

Genuinely cannot stand how brain numbingly repetitive this series is and how absolutely dogshit the characters are. None of the characters are interesting and especially not komi san. Komi san saying nothing at all is just a boring and easy way to make the moments she does speak seem special, and while you might say that's the point, the story COMPLETELY leans on it and lacks any other actually interesting plot devices.

Talking about plot, this ...
