The manga Komi-san wa, Komyushou desu has the following description: Hitohito Tadano is an ordinary boy heading to his first day of high school with a clear plan: avoid trouble and do his best to blend in. Unfortunately, he fails immediately when he takes the seat next to the school madonna, Shouko Komi. His classmates now recognize him as someone to eliminate for the chance to sit next to the prettiest girl in the class.
Gorgeous and elegant, with long dark hair, Komi is universally adored and immensely popular despite her mysterious personality. Unbeknownst to anyone, however, she suffers from an atrocious anxiety and communication disorder that prevent her from relating wholeheartedly to her classmates.
When she is left alone in class, a chain of events forces Komi to interact with Tadano by writing on the blackboard, as in a one-way conversation. Being the first to realize that she cannot communicate properly, Tadano picks up the chalk and begins to write as well. In the end he discovers that Komi’s goal is to make a hundred friends during her stay in high school. To that end, he decides to lend her a hand, thus becoming her first friend.
