Recent leaks have shocked fans of “Komi-san Can’t Communicate” (Komi-san wa, Komyushou desu), the popular manga written and illustrated by Oda Tomohito, by ensuring that the work will reach its conclusion in three more chapters. Although it has not been officially confirmed, these leaks have generated an intense debate among followers, who were already beginning to speculate about the imminent outcome after the most recent events in the plot.
“Komi-san Can’t Communicate” premiered in the magazine Weekly Shonen Sunday from the publisher Shogakukan in May 2016. The story follows Shouko Komi, a beautiful but extremely shy girl who dreams of making 100 friends, and her classmate Hitohito Tadano, who decides to help her overcome her communication difficulties. With a mix of comedy, romance and endearing moments, the series has earned a special place in the hearts of readers.
To date, the manga has almost 500 published chapters, consolidating itself as one of the longest-running series in its magazine. It also has more than 30 compilation volumes, reflecting the enormous success it has had both in Japan and internationally. “Komi-san Can’t Communicate” has been adapted into a two-season anime, both broadcast on Netflixwhich received a warm reception thanks to their faithful adaptation and quality animation produced by OLM.
However, one of the points that worries fans the most is that, despite the popularity of the franchise, a third season of the anime has not yet been announced. This fact has led to speculation that if the manga concludes soon, the producers could choose to adapt all the remaining content into a final season or even a movie.
Although the possible conclusion of the series marks the end of an era, it also opens the door to new possibilities, such as additional adaptations or even spin-offs. The next chapters are sure to be packed with emotions as readers say goodbye to Komi-san, Tadano, and the rest of the beloved cast that has accompanied fans for almost a decade.
Synopsis of Komi-san Can’t Communicate
It’s Shouko Komi’s first day at the prestigious Itan Private Institute, and she has already become the school’s Madonna. With her long black hair and tall, elegant appearance, she captures the attention of anyone who passes her. However, there is a problem: despite her popularity, Shouko is terrible at communicating with others. Hitohito Tadano is the typical high school boy. With his life motto of “read the situation and make sure to stay out of trouble,” he quickly discovers that sitting next to Shouko has made him the enemy of everyone in his class.
One day, passed out by accident, Hitohito wakes up to the sound of Shouko’s “meow.” He lies that he hasn’t heard anything, causing Shouko to run away. But before she can escape, Hitohito assumes that Shouko is not able to talk to others easily; in fact, he has never been able to make a single friend. Hitohito decides to help Shouko in her goal of making a hundred friends so she can overcome her communication disorder.
