A leak by the Japanese leaker Ryokutya reported that
the manga written and illustrated by Tomohito Oda , “ Komi-san
wa, Komyushou Desu ( Komi Can't Communicate )”,
will enter its last story arc in the publisher on July 31
from Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine . The information will
be officially confirmed when the next chapter is published.
According to the leak, this last arc will be titled
“ Training Camp Arc ,” although the translation of the
Japanese term “合宿 (Gasshuku)” would
rather refer to the practice of taking a special course or staying somewhere to
study ( in this case, probably for college entrance exams).
For his part, Tomohito Oda began
publishing the manga in May 2016 through Shogakukan 's Weekly
Shonen Sunday magazine . An anime adaptation by OLM studios
has a total of twenty-four episodes to date, with two seasons released in Fall-2021
(October-December) and Spring-2022 (April-June) .
Contrary to what is believed, this manga
has never been classified by its publisher as a romantic comedy, but as a
school comedy. The romance between Shouko Komi
and Tadano Hitohito is not really the main theme of the work, but Komi's own
improvement in the search for one hundred friends of hers.
Synopsis of Komi-san wa, Komyushou desu
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 her tall, elegant appearance, she catches
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 “reading the situation
and making 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
surmises 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 that she can overcome her communication
disorder.
