This is a manga about a girl with communication problem, komi-san, her everyday life and how she can get over this disturbance she has. Spoiler free review

Well, to start a TL;DR in topic:
+ a cute romance with simple moments like a telephone's call, share an umbrela, express your feelings with textting
+ good main characters, and i woud say the best 'extremally simple' main character i already saw
+ a good comedy about communication problem

- very poor supporting characters

Story 9/10
... In addition to helping the main heroine, Komi-san wants to have 100 friends.
At first it does not apresent an innovative proposal, several mangas have this, but what catches me most in this is that both main characters are very cute together, and komi-san trying to explain the situation that involves her and her feelings surfacing while she makes friends along with tadano-kun are very good. We have very heartwarming moments like splitting an umbrella, expressing feelings on a blackboard, or even making a simple call to each other. It is a light romance and a funny comedy

Art 08/10
It's a good art, well designed characters, a normal background scenery, does not stand out much but the komi-san with big eyes in various scenes are pretty cute, and as a 4-koma manga its a very good one

Characters 7/10
Here it weighs a lot the score, besides the main characters that are very good, 10/10 i would say, the supporting are 06/10. Every character(and MC too) has simple features, one-dimensional characters, but the secondary ones are pretty bad, like a crazy yandere that licks the hair of the komi that is on the floor, or characters that want to pick up the piece of ground where komi-san has fallen. Well it's funny, but even so the manga's romance is much better than those comedy moments. After chapter 40 appers some good characters, but sttill is a weak point of this manga

Enjoyment 10/10
I really like it a lot because I can identify with komi-san, and the situations she tries to get through are a lot of fun.

By Crowmartie

PROS:
- Komi-san's cute face.
- Cute interactions between Komi-san and Tadano. And between members of the Komi family.
- Has pretty relatable situations.
- Art is okay.

CONS:
... - Quite repetitive.
- Poor supporting cast, pretty forgettable and inconsistent. Almost no chemistry.
- The comedy revolves around Komi-san - unless you relate to her troubles or find her cute, you'll lose interest pretty quickly.

MIXED:
- Since it's a gag manga, it's understandable that characters have almost no backstory behind their quirks, but it leaves you desiring for more.
- Lack of plot. Again, a gag manga.

Most favorite moment:
Chapter 49 - Hot Day

Least favorite moment:
Yamai Ren

CONCLUSION: Read if you relate or want to relax and have diabetes. Komi-san has a decent meme-abilty.

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 ... series is the most formulaic series I've ever fucking read. Every single chapter they meet someone who has some sort of gag/problem, and komi and the green haired dude solve it in an incredibly similar frictionless way every single chapter. It's incredibly predictable and boring.

When it comes to characters the green haired dude is incredibly boring, and people will surely defend this by saying that he's "supposed to be boring" because he's an 'average joe' type character. I've seen more than plenty of these average joe characters but he takes the cake for being such a ridiculously boring character. As far as how he solves problems with his positivity and kindness and talking through everything in a genuine manner, I usually enjoy these types of characters regardless of how realistic or corny or cheesy their save-the-day speeches are but I still think even that part of this series is garbage. He's so fucking boring he literally gives me that same gut feeling of when you initially meet someone and think they're initially interesting but they're actually incredibly boring people who provide nothing to the conversation.

The art is fucking awful. it is unique but it's stupid and the artist has no consistency when it comes to drawing characters, his framing is bland and there is 0 depth or variance and everything just looks the same.

That's all from me regarding the most overhyped manga in existence. If you think I'm being harsh when I'm breaking it down by tropes because all anime has tropes and whatever, that is completely irrelevant. I'm breaking it down by tropes because the author fails to be creative in any meaningful way and completely relies on them.
