Komi Can’t Communicate Anime
Recently, Komi Can’t Communicate anime revealed the first trailer, along with a key visual:
Studio OLM is animating the series. Kazuki Kawagoe is directing, while Atsuko Nakajima is in charge of character designs. Deko Akao is overseeing series composition, with Yukari Hashimoto composing the music.
The anime is based on a manga by Tomohito Oda. The manga started serialization in Weekly Shounen Sunday in 2017, and it currently has over 315 chapters.
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. He lives to blend in with the background. 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!
