Summary
The journey to 100 friends begins with a single conversation。
Socially anxious high school student Shoko Komi’s greatest dream is to make some friends， but everyone at school mistakes her crippling social anxiety for cool reserve！ Luckily she meets Tadano， a timid wallflower who decides to step out of his comfort zone in order to help her achieve her goal of making 100 friends。
Komi and her friends are going on a ski trip！ Who cares if only some of them actually know how to conquer the slopes。 The point is to have fun and show off their winter fashions！ But things take a turn for the awkward when Manbagi and Tadano get left behind and have to stay the night at the rest stop。 The only inn around is expensive—but worse than that， there’s just one room！

Another volume and Komi is in-Komi-nicado once more。 A ski trip turns into a fashion forward event and a chance for her and Tadano to grow closer。 Then Tadano winds up in the old ‘we have to stay overnight in a room’ trope， but with Manbagi， so it’s actually super adorable。“Another volume” really sums this one up in the old nutshell。 The first sequence focuses on Komi trying to repay various people for her group birthday girder some time ago and is a cute， if unremarkable， bit of business。Of cou Another volume and Komi is in-Komi-nicado once more。 A ski trip turns into a fashion forward event and a chance for her and Tadano to grow closer。 Then Tadano winds up in the old ‘we have to stay overnight in a room’ trope， but with Manbagi， so it’s actually super adorable。“Another volume” really sums this one up in the old nutshell。 The first sequence focuses on Komi trying to repay various people for her group birthday girder some time ago and is a cute， if unremarkable， bit of business。Of course， Yamai is involved so it immediately gets fouled out。 I begrudgingly admit that I did like one panel that basically draws her like a Junji Ito-style horror， but I have no sympathy for that devil。The bulk of the story revolves around a snowboarding trip organized by Manbagi， which turns into a rather ridiculous excuse to show off the cast in snowboarding gear （especially the ladies， in case you forgot what you were reading） and for some silly jokes。Most of what I like here is the character work。 Tadano and Komi have some nice moments， but there’s a surprisingly enjoyable ski lift ride later with Ase and Tadano that lets her ruminate on Naruse。 This being one of my favourite background stories in the series， it was a welcome addition。Around this point we start to see the perpetual failing of the series， which is that some of us can never remember who is who and what their gimmick is。 For characters like Ase and Naruse， no sweat （sorry， not sorry）， but when you start bringing in cast that feature less frequently it loses a lot， especially since the translation can’t lean on the wordplay the Japanese version does as shorthand。The subsequent section where Manbagi and Tadano wind up stranded is a hoot， largely because the two of them have really great chemistry （they even think alike leading up to the trip） and Manbagi is such a sweetheart。Some of the art here is really cute too - there’s a 4-panel of Manbagi inching across a bed that is very well done and feels like one of the most enjoyably strong pages I’ve read in a manga recently。 It’s nothing special， but just done so well and conveys a lot。It’s basically everything you’d want from a story like this， including parental and sibling interference （I love the implication that Manbagi’s grandmother is very， erm， encouraging） and one particularly awkward admission that not only isn’t meant to be heard， but later on leads to one of the most idiotic （and possibly really good） masturbation jokes I’ve seen in a while。And I guess the other downside is that Manbagi is so much more interesting than Komi， which I always say when stuff like this happens， and the series isn’t called Manbagi Can’t Communicate， so she can’t win in the end， if you care about such things （even the cast know she’s the third wheel）。It’s definitely fun， but everything I like the most about this series tends to be the things that the mangaka doesn’t and vice-versa， so it’s often a bit of a dance to meet somewhere in the middle of my expectations and what’s ever going to be on offer。3。5 stars - round down if you don’t like prime Manbagi content。 For a gag book this isn’t quite as funny as I’d like， though it’s definitely above average。 But Yamai appears， so， per my rules， an automatic 3 by default。 。。。more

This was a really cute volume。 The snowboarding trip had some fun moments， but I was not expecting the twist of Tadano and Manbagi being left behind at the resort and having to spend the night at an inn together。 The friendship between the two has really improved over the past few volumes， and they do look good together despite how I ship Komi and Tadano together。 Manbagi does tell Tadano she likes him， but it's right before she falls asleep， and its while she thinks he's asleep， but the potenti This was a really cute volume。 The snowboarding trip had some fun moments， but I was not expecting the twist of Tadano and Manbagi being left behind at the resort and having to spend the night at an inn together。 The friendship between the two has really improved over the past few volumes， and they do look good together despite how I ship Komi and Tadano together。 Manbagi does tell Tadano she likes him， but it's right before she falls asleep， and its while she thinks he's asleep， but the potential confession makes Tadano think back about his friendship with her， and you can tell he may be interested。 The question is， does he like like her， or does he just like her as a friend？ 。。。more
