Komi San Can't Communicate - Blog Posts

Please Read ‘Komi-san Can’t Communicate’

I’m not really good at these but I really wanted to recommend this manga, Komi-san wa Komyusho desu or Komi-san Can’t Communicate.

First off, just to clear up a misconception I’ve seen, this is not the story of some happy, cute, stereotypical “timid japanese girl” and her friends. While it is a light-hearted comedy, and a damn good one at that, it begins as the story of a lonely girl with crippling social anxiety and literally no friends, and the most Average Joe in history who’s able to see that and try to give her the help she desperately needs.

That girl, Komi, is so beautiful, classy and smart that everyone idolizes her and thinks she is just the “elegant, calm and silent type”, that they are simply too low-class to warrant a response from her and that she must have many, cooler friends. Of course this works against Komi’s condition, since she’s always the center of attention, has no self-esteem and has the typical paranoia about what people are talking behind her back, that usually comes with social phobia.

Tadano, the main male character, on the other hand, is considered the most boring and unremarkable person ever by the other characters. He’s someone so embarrassed and traumatized by his past actions that he completely built his personality on “staying out of trouble and never shining in any aspect”, and to do so he became incredibly good at reading people, which is the reason he was the only one who understood Komi and decided to help her communicate.

This is all played as a light comedy with good feelings, without any attempts to sound “deep” or anything like that, but the idea for the plot is still very interesting. Since the manga apparently isn’t sold out of Japan, you can check it in any manga scans site.

Please read Komi-san, she’s doing her best!
