Synopsis

Hitohito Tadano is an ordinary boy who heads into his first day of high school with a clear plan: to avoid trouble and do his best to blend in with others. Unfortunately, he fails right away when he takes the seat beside the school's madonna—Shouko Komi. His peers now recognize him as someone to eliminate for a chance to sit next to the most beautiful girl in class.

Gorgeous and graceful with long, dark hair, Komi is universally adored and immensely popular despite her mysterious persona. However, unbeknownst to everyone, she has crippling anxiety and a communication disorder which prevents her from wholeheartedly socializing with her classmates.

When left alone in the classroom, a chain of events forces Komi to interact with Tadano through writing on the blackboard, as if in a one-way conversation. Being the first person to realize she cannot communicate properly, Tadano picks up the chalk and begins to write as well. He eventually discovers that Komi's goal is to make one hundred friends during her time in high school. To this end, he decides to lend her a helping hand, thus also becoming her first-ever friend.

Komi can't communicate is a very good comedy/slice of life/ romance anime.

Komi can't communicate is a very entertaining anime about Komi and Tadano with Komi having severe social anxiety which is the main plot point of the show (not a spoiler is written in the description for the show) It is a very entertaining show with many engaging plot points throughout the show and had really wholesome and enjoyable slice of life elements that made for a fun watch, and made me really enjoy the show. There is also a very diverse cast with clashing personalities which make many amusing comedic elements.

I personally really enjoyed ...

*No spoilers*
This review is for the anime adaptation of Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu, also known as Komi Can’t Communicate.

Summary
Komi Can’t Communicate is about a girl named Komi who struggles to communicate due to her social anxiety, and a boy named Tadano who befriends her and supports her on an expedition to make 100 friends. The story covers themes of friendship, communication, and disabilities, though it does so by antithetical means. Unfortunately, the storytelling makes the plot and characters unrelatable, and the side characters detract from the themes. To avoid spoilers, I will simply state here that Komi does not overcome her anxiety the healthy way. ...

This is like a power fantasy but in a romance anime. Komi is beautiful, athletic, smart, perfect, etc. but she is shy and doesn't talk to others. Conveniently she has a crush on our very average main character. Isn't this a bit too self serving? They shoved the "perfection" trait on a girl and made her dependent on the MC and conveniently also in love with him. Why do people enjoy this? Do they try to insert themselves instead of the MC, fantasizing about having a perfect girl crush on them?

There isn't really a good story to be found here. Hell, there aren't good interactions ...
