On May 3,
Japanese Internet users joined together to celebrate “Komi-san Day,” a holiday
derived from an ingenious play on words. In Japanese, the pronunciation of the numbers “5/3” can
be read as “Ko-mi”, which led fans to establish this day as a special occasion
to honor Komi-san, the beloved protagonist of the manga “ Komi-san wa
Komyushou Desu ( Komi Can't Communicate ).”
The
initiative also received official endorsement from the manga's author, Tomohito
Oda, who officially announced May 3 as Komi-san Day. This decision was received with
enthusiasm by the fan community, who took advantage of the opportunity to share
illustrations, memes and messages of appreciation for the beloved character.
- " May 3 is
Shouko Komi Day ," the author wrote on Twitter.

debut in the pages of manga, Shouko Komi has captured the hearts of readers
with her charm and her struggle to overcome her difficulty communicating with

celebration, fans of “Komi-san wa Komyushou Desu” are still eagerly
awaiting the announcement of a third season of the anime , waiting

and her friends.
