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。

It’s spring break， the Komi family is ready for adventure and a recently renovated resort is calling their name！ And they aren’t the only ones lured by the prospect of go-karts and camping—the Tadano family is there for some fun too， with Najimi tagging along！ But when a sudden summer storm strands Tadano and Komi in a deserted cabin， things turn serious。 How will they avoid catching colds with only one blanket to warm them？！

I don’t like the love triangle they’ve introduced。 They have a wonderful story here， inviting new stakes like this so far into the series with a new character we barely know is frustrating。

An entertaining volume， especially if you are on the Komi-Tadano Romance Watch。 The Komi family goes to an adventure resort and hey！ the Tadano family is there too！ When a storm has Kodano （Komi and Tadano！） in a cold and deserted cabin and just one blanket， how will they stay warm？ And then there is a word game where the word kiss comes up。 。 。 but don't get your hopes up。So many new characters， as Komi needs to get to 100 friends。 Manbagi （of the weird fashion and makeup choices） has a crush o An entertaining volume， especially if you are on the Komi-Tadano Romance Watch。 The Komi family goes to an adventure resort and hey！ the Tadano family is there too！ When a storm has Kodano （Komi and Tadano！） in a cold and deserted cabin and just one blanket， how will they stay warm？ And then there is a word game where the word kiss comes up。 。 。 but don't get your hopes up。So many new characters， as Komi needs to get to 100 friends。 Manbagi （of the weird fashion and makeup choices） has a crush on Tadano， and as with so many in this series， can’t talk to him。 A new character， Ase， has social anxiety because she sweats a lot， but will not become a fave character。 Creepy Yanai returns， stalking Komi， speaking of non-fave characters。 There’s a very funny flashback story on how Komi’s parents came to meet。 Overall， a fun volume。 。。。more

While I generally like the Komi series overall， this volume seemed disjointed。 It was several stories that didn't really seem to gel together。 I would have like to see several more scenes of the family camping trip， including some family interaction of Komi's family。 But one less than stellar book （my opinion） does not mean that I won't keep reading the series。 While I generally like the Komi series overall， this volume seemed disjointed。 It was several stories that didn't really seem to gel together。 I would have like to see several more scenes of the family camping trip， including some family interaction of Komi's family。 But one less than stellar book （my opinion） does not mean that I won't keep reading the series。 。。。more

This series continues to be adorable。 After a shaky volume， this is a return to what I love in this series。 Komi being adorable， and being an ordinary high school girl and getting her first crush， and friends to talk about it。 The cuteness is doubled with Manbagi （the resident gal/gyaru）， but right now she's just a tsundere towards Tadano。In this series with an expansive cast， there's going to be more than a few characters who are benched。 But as long as my favorite odd couple in the younger Kom This series continues to be adorable。 After a shaky volume， this is a return to what I love in this series。 Komi being adorable， and being an ordinary high school girl and getting her first crush， and friends to talk about it。 The cuteness is doubled with Manbagi （the resident gal/gyaru）， but right now she's just a tsundere towards Tadano。In this series with an expansive cast， there's going to be more than a few characters who are benched。 But as long as my favorite odd couple in the younger Komi-Tadano tandem have a chapter to themselves， I'm satisfied。 。。。more

I love this manga so much。Komi made a new friend all her own in the previous volume。 Rumiko Manbagi。 I am not sure how I feel about her yet but I do love her interactions with Tadano。 She likes him but acts like she does not。 Komi and Manbagi both like the same guy but I think Komi and Tadano will end up together。 It will be interesting to see how their relationships progresses as well as Komi and Rumiko Manbagi's friendship。 I love this manga so much。Komi made a new friend all her own in the previous volume。 Rumiko Manbagi。 I am not sure how I feel about her yet but I do love her interactions with Tadano。 She likes him but acts like she does not。 Komi and Manbagi both like the same guy but I think Komi and Tadano will end up together。 It will be interesting to see how their relationships progresses as well as Komi and Rumiko Manbagi's friendship。 。。。more

Tadano and Shoko！ That's really all that needs to be said。 I wish we'd get even more time with them。 I always enjoy the breakout for Shoko's parents too。The series is just a joy to read。 Tadano and Shoko！ That's really all that needs to be said。 I wish we'd get even more time with them。 I always enjoy the breakout for Shoko's parents too。The series is just a joy to read。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I was so excited to receive this in the mail。 I was having a rough day at work and this book helped keep me distracted from my anxieties。 It did a really good job in fact。 Of course I love Komi and Tadano but I love the other Komi and Tadano just as equally （little brother and little sister）。 I truly love reading about their antics。 It kind of reminds me of A Love So Beautiful kind of dynamic but Hitomi is MUCH more independent。

This was another super cute volume！ I love seeing Tadano and Komi spend time with each other， they are the absolute cutest pair of cinnamon rolls ever！！ Najimi， of course， was fantastically chaotic and I love them so much， and I really like Hitomi's interactions with Shosuke。 Ordinarily I would be annoyed at a character trying to break an introverted character out of their shell （as an introvert myself， that is annoying as fuck and I HATE IT） but I'm more okay in Hitomi's case because Shosuke do This was another super cute volume！ I love seeing Tadano and Komi spend time with each other， they are the absolute cutest pair of cinnamon rolls ever！！ Najimi， of course， was fantastically chaotic and I love them so much， and I really like Hitomi's interactions with Shosuke。 Ordinarily I would be annoyed at a character trying to break an introverted character out of their shell （as an introvert myself， that is annoying as fuck and I HATE IT） but I'm more okay in Hitomi's case because Shosuke doesn't talk at all， which could be detrimental to his future。 Also， Hitomi is just straight up funny and I adore her！Something that I really appreciate about this series is that the gimmick of every character having one defining trait works in the story's favor。 From my interpretation， Komi Can't Communicate is a series not about communication， but social interaction。 Whether their trait is positive or negative， it plays a role in shaping social interactions and by extension friendships。 On the surface， Ase seems like a ridiculous character to introduce because， seriously， why the fuck do we need a character who's defining trait is she sweats a lot？ Well， as Oda clearly demonstrates， something as simple as sweating can play a major role in social situations， both with communicating with others as well as hanging out with them。 Thus， characters like Ase， Nakanaka， and Yamai （while the latter being extreme） make sense in the context of the story because the story is about social interactions， and I really like this。 It adds another layer to this series and elevates it from a cutesy if not repetitive slice-of-life comedy to a deeper， more engaging slice-of-life comedy。Anyway， sorry for the rant， long story short I really enjoyed this volume。 Definitely still engaged in this series and having a blast reading it。 。。。more

Maybe Komi doesn’t want to communicate？ Did you ever think about that？ Okay， fine， she does， but when confronted with an average entry in an uneven series， you’re not getting me to waste my good material that easily。If we actually expect Komi to reach 100 friends， this series is going to take forever。 At any rate， we start off with a pretty cute vacation encounter between Komi and Tadano that ends up in a surprising place with unsurprising results。 Then we get another ridiculous Najimi game， del Maybe Komi doesn’t want to communicate？ Did you ever think about that？ Okay， fine， she does， but when confronted with an average entry in an uneven series， you’re not getting me to waste my good material that easily。If we actually expect Komi to reach 100 friends， this series is going to take forever。 At any rate， we start off with a pretty cute vacation encounter between Komi and Tadano that ends up in a surprising place with unsurprising results。 Then we get another ridiculous Najimi game， delinquents of questionable purpose， and random fashion shows。None of these stories is the series at its best， honestly， and the new friend they add this volume， Ase， whose big thing is that she sweats a lot， is dropped just as quickly as she’s introduced （note to authors: the definitive manga about hyperhydrosis exists and it’s Sweat & Soap， not yours）。 She’s not interesting in the slightest。Then there’s a segment featuring Yanai， and if you’ve read my previous thoughts on her， well， this is not her best story because a meteorite did not strike her down where she stood。 Seriously， I will never give a volume of this more than three stars if she gets more than a cameo because she is that icky。There are some bright spots; as stagnant as the Komi and Tadano relationship remains， their vacation IS cute and they have a particularly charming moment during the rainy day chapters that close the book， which are the high point of the volume。The last rainy day chapter features Manbagi， who I think is now my favourite character。 She’s quite taken with Tadano， which of course will go nowhere， and the way she accidentally learns just how kind he is at the end （and her reaction to it） is very sweet。 I likewise enjoy her utter inability to process her feelings towards him when they talk。Outside of our leads， we have a flashback to how Komi’s parents started dating which is probably the funniest chapter of the book。 Let’s just say that until it starts to happen， you probably have no chance of guessing how it will go down and it’s a solid payoff。Tadano’s sister and Komi’s brother also get some page time， where once again she is mercilessly tormenting him and “helping” him。 On the one hand， I feel for the guy being tormented as he wants to be left alone。 On the other， her methods are pretty funny and the capper at the soccer match is brutally hilarious。Like I said， three stars。 Even without the Yanai parts I doubt I would go higher。 This series typically has a higher number of solid chapters than this and none of the ones presented here are exemplary。 Worth it if you like the series， but certainly not the best it’s done。 。。。more

So far this is the last published volume of the ongoing series， although I've read up to chapter 182。In my previous review for an earlier volume of this series， I was disappointed with how little the titular chacter， Komi Shouko， had changed despite the life experiences she had gone through。 By volume 11 I must congratulate her for the opposite。 She approaches people not only when she wants something but to help them as well， she maintained a few spoken conversations （an achievement for someone So far this is the last published volume of the ongoing series， although I've read up to chapter 182。In my previous review for an earlier volume of this series， I was disappointed with how little the titular chacter， Komi Shouko， had changed despite the life experiences she had gone through。 By volume 11 I must congratulate her for the opposite。 She approaches people not only when she wants something but to help them as well， she maintained a few spoken conversations （an achievement for someone who mainly communicates through notebooks） and got involved in plenty of activities that pushed her limits。 The highlight， and one of the most heartbreaking subplots in a series where the focus is on the funny interactions between the characters， were the few chapters involving the daughter of a college friend of Komi's mother。 The parents of this kid are the kind that move for work often and to distant places， and the rest of the time are barely involved in raising their daughter。 As a result the child， having gone through sequences of getting attached to people only to lose them forever， and coming home to loneliness， has hardened into a proper， no-nonsense person who avoids getting close to people and resents those who approach her， because if she allows herself to care for them， she's signing up for major heartbreak when they inevitably disappear。 Komi awkwardly worms her way into the kids heart， and when she notices herself calling Komi her big sister， the child （view spoiler）[gets angry and runs away。 Najimi， that meddlesome， hyperactive boy/girl， enlists dozens of people into looking for the child。 When they do find her， Komi apologizes， believing， because of her low self-esteem， that the child ran away because of something she said。 The child admits in tears that she simply cannot allow herself to care for people， because they will eventually abandon her， and at the end of the day she's just accumulating pain。 Komi embraces her。 I don't recall what she said， but a few days later the kid's mother reappeared and announced that they were moving again， this time to the US。 Now it was Komi's time to cry。 We get a last sequence with the kid fresh in a much messier school， but determined to enjoy human relationships although they will be ephemeral （hide spoiler）]。I appreciate the care the author put into setting up convoluted scenes of miscommunication with hilarious consequences。 The first that comes to mind is when a group of delinquent first year students enter Komi and company's school and intend to assert their dominance by beating up the second year leader。 They hear of Komi's （which is her non-gender specific last name） legendary status， and they assume it's some huge mean guy。 When they go to her class they mistake the local socially awkward， scary looking buff guy， Katai， for the leader。 After a complicated set of events， Katai ends up with their money， and the group of delinquents go away to spread the news that Komi-san is not to be messed with。Komi Shouko remains a very peculiar main character: she's considered extraordinarily elegant and beautiful， yet she's as anxious as they come （particularly in the beginning）， and can barely utter a word。 Most of the time she is drawn with enormous eyes depicting her as confused and startled， and to most interactions she reacts by nodding her head or shaking it crazily。 She's quite adorable。 Regarding the rest of the cast， my least favorite is probably Najimi， that histrionic loudmouth with an ambiguous gender。 If I knew him/her in real life I'd probably end up holding his/her head underwater for a while。I was surprised by how regional some of the references and in some cases the issue of some entire chapters were。 Games that are only played in Japan， maybe in some regions of it， for a short while; manners of speaking， etc。 The most conspicuous example was an entire chapter devoted to a word game that's completely untranslatable; the translators had to add the original Japanese words under the text for it to make any sense。 It's rare that I come across stuff like this; I've been consuming Japanese manga/anime since I was a child。 I grew up not only reading/watching the usual stuff from the pre-Pokemon/Digimon days （"Dragon Ball"， "Captain Tsubasa"， etc。）， but also stuff like "Detective Conan"， "Ranma 1/2"， "Rurouni Kenshin" and some shoujos that are probably too embarrassing to remember。 I got my first realistic taste of what a job routine was from the underrated "Patlabor"， a team of average policepersons that fight crime on mecha-like machines， although I ended up having a few job experiences that were more stressful and panic-inducing than theirs。 My first cartoon crush was queen tsundere herself， Asuka Langley Sōryū from the odd mega hit "Evangelion"; that probably says all you need to know about my self-respect back then， and about my subsequent romantic relationships。Too bad I can't read any more of this "Komi-san" shit。 In some ways it was just getting started。 I hope they make an animated version soon， but in that case I hope they get a bigger budget and a more inspired director than with "Domestic na Kanojo"'s ongoing adaptation and their fucking censorship。["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]> 。。。more
