Komi has obsessive friends or has formed unhealthy relationships.

Komi’s only normal friends are Tadano and Najami. Every one else around her just has an unhealthy obsession with her and I feel like she just wants to call them “friends” because they favor her and she wants to make 100. Her classmates guard her and call her the queen of the class or something because she’s attractive. Ren was a stalker and kidnapped her friend but yet is somehow important to Komi and became friends with her stalker… She has a friend who acts kind of like a dog and Komi is her owner…the list continues. But the point the main is Komi doesn’t really have friends, just fans or obsessed over her. This is solely s1 so I might feel different about s2.

Your forum says “no friends” and then you say “normal friends” pick an argument 😂

it’s easier saying no friends if i only had to exclude 2 ppl compared to the many other characters. not an argument just an highly opinionated forum post. and how specific do i have to be? wth

I personally think the Kyoto trip girls are definitely Komi’s actual friends, along with Najimi and Tadano. Not sure about the rest of them.

Why not just enjoy the show for how wholesome it is?

You have to keep in mind that with as gargantuan a cast as Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu., it's difficult to afford depth for every individual character. I think everyone being obsessed with Shouko is supposed to be taken lightly if anything, since some background characters would otherwise never have a reason (or opportunity) to appear.

That said, ensemble casts CAN be done well with good characterization for all (as seen in Kimi no Koto ga Daidaidaidaidaisuki na 100-nin no Kanojo), but Komi-san introduced too many characters at once to succeed as well as it could've. What we're left with is a supporting cast composed of characters with ONE defining personality trait or gimmick. In my opinion, however, this series is carried not by individuals, but by the group dynamics of the cast - the result of which is a living, breathing world.

Just remember what we have is still preferable to background ""characters"" with ZERO defining personality traits or appearances, as seen in [insert generic Slice-of-Life].

I agree completely. I never really understood the hype around this show.

I hate Ren the most

kuramarose said:
yeah, i think the show has so much potential & it would be so much better if all the side characters weren’t complete creeps

I didn't say it was the hype over over one dimensional characters, just the show. The jokes are repetitive and not funny, which consists of sexually harassing komi, simping, and stalking. If you got rid of everyone but Komi and Tadano it woulf actually be a decent show. Saiki k was actually funny and changed up its jokes, plus as you stated is a parody. So I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

highly doubt, maybe some of them are obsessed, but definitely not all of them. I really see where you are coming from, but u are heavily exaggerating the situation.

sailorday- said:
i don’t think all are but a good majority u see specifically on season 1 have an unhealthy obsessive relationship with her. and how is this over exaggerated when it’s in the show lmaooo. she did have a stalker, she did have the entire class call her a god and gave her a thrown to sit on, she has a friend who thinks komi is her owner. like huh? and i know these people care about her ofc but to act like some of these characters weren’t oddly obsessed with her when it’s right in front of u….

sensei_hamzah said:
thats kind of the point. she has no friends despite her "popularity", but she makes actual/normal friends over the course of the story

6deep said:

well your initial title of the post states that she doesn’t have friends. You people need to form your thoughts better as i feel like the topic you were looking for got mistook by others for something else (same as happened to me)

It's definitely extreme in Komi's case, but how many people have many "real" friends? It's pretty normal to have a few close friends that you can really relate to and be natural with, and a bunch of acquaintances that you are friendly with. We call them friends, but really it's only the close ones that count.
