Timid MC's who are bad at talking to others with a dream of making 100 friends in a slice of life school comedy.
Both shows contain a classroom with a variety of different personalities and the play on character names linked to their background.
Hitoribocchi aims more for a moe appearance whereas Komi-san looks more 'normal' per se and Komi-san has more prevalent male characters compared to.
Another difference too is that at the start, Komi is well known by everyone else and fawned upon whereas Bocchi has none of that going for her.

High school comedy. Main girl is extremely shy and anxious, to the point of being almost unable interact with other. Yet they try to make friends.
MC has difficulty in speaking, Slice of Life, Comedy.
Both female leads/MCs have an aim to make 100 friends, but in Hitoribocchi, MC has a childhood friend (the only friend until the start of High School. I think both have puns on the character names in the series and have a variety of personalities between the different characters.
Both of these shows are strikingly similar in their plots. Hitoribocchi is about a girl with social anxiety who has a goal of making friends with her whole class, while Komi-san is about a girl with a communication disorder who has a goal of making 100 friends. Each of these main characters is shy and has a hard time socializing, yet hopes to make friends with the people around them. The only difference between these two shows is that Hitori Bocchi is unpopular and Komi-san is popular in their respective classes. Hitoribocchi is also a bit more childish than Komi-san.

That's quite the same plot with a shy girl with social anxiety that struggles to make friends but really wants to do it, and they're both really fun and heartwarming to watch since it's slice of life comedy
Both shows feature an extremely shy main character who slowly makes more friends with the goal to befriend 100 people and the whole class respectfully. Both shows are very innocent and wholesome.

Both of the characters are very shy, and they also have a goal to make friends. Bocchi wants to be friends with all of her classmates, while Komi wants to make friends with 100 people. Lastly, their first friend helps them to accomplish their goal.
Both main character want to make a lot of friends but have communication problem. And the naming sense of both animes are similar

- Both MC have a problem with their communication skill
- Both MC want to find many friend
- Both MC meet her first friends so awkwardly
- Both MC almost can't speak up
Komi is essentially a more extreme version of Hitori Bocchi. Komi must make 100 friends while Bocchi must befriend the class. Komi on the other hand is not given a motive. Bocchi has no love interest to help her which isn't much of a problem since Bocchi can communicate. If you like more of a wacky rom-com, you would like Komi.

Both anime series share a common thread, as they feature introverted protagonists who yearn to form meaningful connections with others. This relatable dynamic creates a similar emotional resonance for viewers. Furthermore, both series are distinguished by their well-developed and engaging secondary characters.
