Komi Can’t Communicate

Komi Can’t Communicate

A manga about socially anxious high school girl named Komi who wants to make 100 friends.

Super cute series. I like it how funny it is but I can’t help but feel like it’s going to become a harem situation because Komi’s first friend fits that mold of “best boyfriend but not actually anyone’s boyfriend”. Thankfully this series barely has any fan service.

I’m also sad because in the English edition they can’t play up the different character names that represent who they are. Hitohito Tadano is “Tadanohito” which means ordinary guy, Najimi Osano is “Osananajimi” which means childhood friend and so on and so forth.

But my nitpicks aside, this is still a great manga and available from VIZ.
