“Komi-san wa, Komyushou Desu,” also known as “Komi Can’t Communicate” in the West, is a romantic comedy genre manga written and illustrated by Tomohito Oda. The manga began as a One-Shot in Shogakukan Publishing House’s “Shuukan Shonen Sunday” magazine in September 2015 and was serialized in May 2016. Due to its immense popularity in the otaku community, in May 2021 the production of an anime adaptation was announced, fulfilling the wish of many fans to be able to see an anime series of this manga.
On October 7, 2021, the manga Komi-san wa Komyushou Desu premiered its anime adaptation which was composed of 2 seasons (24 episodes in total). The animation studio OLM was in charge of the production of the series under the direction of Kazuki Kawagoe and Ayumu Watanabe. The series is available legally through the Netflix platform and has an English dub.
“Komi-san wa, Komyushou Desu” follows the life of Hitohito Tadano, an ordinary young man with a pretty clear plan for his first day at high school: avoid trouble and do his best to fit in with the other students. However, everything changes when he ends up sitting next to Shouko Komi, who is known as the “queen” of the school. From then on, his classmates see him as an obstacle to get the chance to sit next to the most popular girl in the class.
Komi, with her beauty and elegance, and her long dark hair, is adored by everyone and enjoys immense popularity, despite her enigmatic personality. But what no one knows is that she suffers from crippling anxiety and a communication disorder that prevents her from sincerely relating to her peers.
In a moment of solitude in the classroom, a series of events leads Komi to communicate with Tadano by writing on the blackboard, as if it were a one-way conversation. Being the first to realize his difficulties in communicating, Tadano picks up the chalk and begins to write as well. Eventually, he discovers that Komi’s goal is to make a hundred friends during her time in high school. Determined to help her, he becomes her first friend and partner in this mission.
Together, they face both funny and poignant situations, trying to overcome the challenges they face as Komi works to overcome her communication difficulties and reach her goal of making one hundred friends. As their friendship grows stronger, they discover that true beauty lies not only in outward appearance, but in the genuine connection and understanding that is established between people.
