Komi Can't Communicate, Vol. 10

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.

Komi is starting her second year of high school, and she’s feeling a bit melancholy that all the good times of the previous year are now behind her. How can anything else compare? But when Komi runs into a girl in her new class with outrageous fashion sense crying in the bathroom, she’s able to put all her wonderful friend-making experience to good use and reach out to another person in need. Komi has leveled up!

A heartwarming comedy about finding the friends who help you thrive. Releases 6 times a year for 10+ volumes. Series is ongoing. Will appeal to fans of teen rom-coms, a genre seeing a popular revival with movies like To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, The Kissing Booth, and Sierra Burgess Is a Loser. All the cuteness of Yotsuba and Azumanga Daioh with the mainstream appeal of Nisekoi. Main characters are diverse in terms of mental health and gender expression, and readers who are rarely represented will be able to relate.
