Komi Can't Communicate
A rom-com with resolve and satisfaction
(minor spoilers? if you would even call them that)

To start, I would like to clarify that I am not a reviewer, nor a critic in anyway or form, I just want to state my opinion on what I think to be an amazing series.

Art:
The art-style is kind of weird to me, it's distinct and unique enough to where I recognize it, but it still doesn't really stand out to me compared to that of other series, could possibly be what the mangaka was going for, but idrk. I still liked it though.

Characters:
I love a lot of ... the characters, even some of the minor ones. This series has a fantastic main cast. It's very easy to relate to a lot of the characters, especially as the cast seems to grow somewhat exponentially with different characters kind of just appearing in the spotlight. I can understand how some people may see this as a negative thing as it can take focus away from the story, or even acting as some kind of filler, but I think that it really helps flesh out certain characters we may not have seen a lot of and develops more on the characters that we may just see in the background a lot of the time. To me, a lot of the characters ended up being a lot more memorable than I initially thought they would be.

Story:
It started off cute and relatable, and developed on that to an extreme. The more Komi gained friends and the more the relationship between her and Tadano grew, the wider my smile was reading this manga. I remember being so lost and invested in it that I'd end up having all-nighters reading this without realizing it (honestly that's probably just a problem I have, I have terrible time tracking skills). Even during the, heart-aching love triangle arch, I found myself constantly ready for the next opportunity to make my blood sugar shoot up.

Overall:
This series is by far something I can constantly come back to and continue to be thoroughly entertained by it's charm, wit, and sweetness.

Komi is God.
