It’s certainly a manga for a certain type of person. We see Komi deal with getting a sandwich in one scene, and while she can’t really handle it, she does in her own way. Kids in high school or really any grade may gravitate to this character as she exhibits their fears of communicating and the anxiety surrounding social situations.


What’s so endearing about this manga is how Komi’s friends and family aren’t critical of her nature. It makes sense given Komi is fine hanging back. Meanwhile, Komi’s friends tend to be loud, very verbose, and steer the conversation. By the end of the manga, they’re connecting in a much more real way. Tadano is a boy Komi likes and it’s cute to see them connect more and more throughout the manga. Relationships between Komi and Kimo’s friend are key to understand the characters. It’s a slice of life story so expect random plots (Komi is hot at home thanks to no air conditioning) or plots that develop her relationship with her friends (Komi plays a Super Smash Brothers looking game and each friend interacts differently). This book is told via 10 chapters each of which is a vignette unconnected from any other chapter. They’re all weird themselves and that’s the main draw for this series as Oda does a great job fleshing out the various personalities. That’s because she has friends now that somehow accept her weird behavior. In the latest volume out now from Viz Media Komi soon learns for the first time she wishes summer break wouldn’t end. Case in point is Tomohito Oda’s Komi Can’t Communicate which features a girl who gets so anxious in social situations she can’t speak.
