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!

Tadano Barely Can Communicate

Reading the manga is really interesting coming from the NetFlix show, which apparently is a quite faithful adaptation, even down to artstyle.

We get a few extra panels and some better clarity of dialogue and background bits and pieces of text that aren't all subtitled in the show, so I feel like I have a better look into the world and characters.

This volume ends with the infamous Saito game, a highpoint for how ridiculous trying to fit in can get.

Review of "Komi Can't Communicate, Vol. 1" on 'Goodreads'

I enjoyed the story of a boy helping a girl who as a communication disorder making friends.
The only downside of this book is the font size. As the speech bubbles are here very densely filled and the book size is very small, you might experience difficulties especially with Kanji while reading.
