A new potential domain (komisan-official.com) for the Japanese manga “Komi Can’t Communicate” (Komi-san wa, Komyushō desu.) was recently registered. That means that the Komi-san manga might get an anime announcement in the near future.
The manga is written and illustrated by Tomohito Oda and has been serialized in Shogakukan Weekly Shonen Sunday since May 2016. Official confirmation of the anime, as well as more details, should come shortly. You can check out the cover of volume 1 below:
In case you have never heard of the romance comedy manga, read the full synopsis:
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! With the whole student body keeping their distance and Komi unable to utter a single word, friendship might be forever beyond her reach.
Timid Tadano is a total wallflower, and that’s just the way he likes it. But all that changes when he finds himself alone in a classroom on the first day of high school with the legendary Komi. He quickly realizes she isn’t aloof—she’s just super awkward. Now he’s made it his mission to help her on her quest to make 100 friends! (Amazon)
Komi Can’t Communicate is very popular, and many fans will be happy to watch its anime adaptation! However, remain skeptical until official confirmation arrives, and it should be soon.
Still, this seems perfect after Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie anime news, as well as Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru!
