--This review was written at the time where Volume 11 was the latest volume I has read!--
Komi-san can't Communicate is a cute manga about Shoko Komi, a young girl with a communication problem, and Hitohito Tadano, an average high-school boy, and their journey to help Komi make 100 friends. TL;DR will be included in this review as well.
Story - 6/10: The story in this manga is a bit stereotypical, with a girl viewed as a goddess by her classmates, and an average boy mostly ignored by her classmates becoming best friends and start a journey to make Komi 100 friends. It works well but gets repetitive very easily, most chapters go along the lines of "new person notices/meets Komi, thinks she's scary because she doesn't talk to people, they face their fear and talk to Komi, Komi is a nice person, joins Komi's friend group." and it gets boring after a while. There are a few chapters here and there where her friends go out and do things like go to restaurants, or go to the pool. But besides that, the story is a bit bland.
Art - 8/10: The art in this manga is very nice, although not a saving grace for the manga, it works well with the series.
Character - 7/10: The characters in this manga usually only have one or two defining traits and that's all you really get from them. Komi is pretty and nice, Tadano is average and nice, Najimi is outgoing, so on and so forth. Many of the characters in this series are very stereotypical and seem like a cardboard cut-out of a "-dere" type.
Enjoyment - 7/10: I enjoy reading this manga, and find joy in going out every few months to buy the latest volume. If it weren't so repetitive, I would probably give it a higher rating in this category.
Overall - 7/10: I feel that if this manga goes on for a few more years, it will just become a stereotypical "School, Comedy, Romance" manga. I think this is a manga that at one point will become too fleshed out and get boring.
TL;DR - Although having a cute premise, This is a repetitive and stereotypical school manga with cookie-cutter characters. It is fun to read, as the short stories of each chapter are cute, but besides that, it has nothing much to keep you interested for long.
