Synopsis
I want to talk, but I can’t. If people found out about this anxiety, what would I do? Komi is a girl whose beauty turns the heads of everyone around her, but she suffers from social anxiety. She has a lot of trouble communicating, and to the people around her, she comes off as unapproachable.
“How do I strike up a conversation?” “Once I do, then what do I say?” Komi can’t help but get caught up on such questions.-via AnimeJapan 2021 AniRank
This story follows the school life of Komi and Tadano, who she befriends. Komi may be trembling from her heart all the way to her fingertips, but her goal is to make 100 friends! This communication comedy will have you grinning ear to ear before you know it, but at times it will make your heartache!
