As we
previously reported, Volume 37 of the manga " Komi Can't
Communicate ( Komi-san wa, Komyushou Desu )" has
been released in Japan, which includes Chapter 500 of the work (the
true final chapter of the story). Leaving aside that this chapter
explained a bit about the development of the characters in the near future
(specifically during their college years), the author's notes were enough to
become a trending topic on social media.
In his
commentary, after nine years of publishing the story in Weekly Shonen Sunday
magazine, author Tomohito Oda revealed that he has no concrete plans to start a
new manga now, although he does intend to continue drawing in the future. For now, the author wants to
focus on his family, specifically raising his son.
Now that
the series has concluded, it's important to remember that to date, no
announcement has been made regarding the production of a third season of the
anime. In
fact, there isn't even a leak that would set a precedent for raising fans'
expectations. The conclusion of "Komi Can't Communicate" could mean
bad news for fans, especially since it's rare for a manga adaptation to
continue, especially several years after the most recent season.
Finally, for
those interested, Chapter 500 presented the following details:
- « Komi Shouko and Kawai
Rami decided to live together when they started college, and Tadano Maruko
joined as a third roommate after having difficulty finding accommodation. Tadano
Hitohito wasn't comfortable living with multiple girls . »
- « Maruko realizes that
Komi was planning a personal date with Tadano, and after Kawai found out,
she asked her to join, but Maruko stopped her so Komi could go alone.
During their date, Komi and Tadano took the opportunity to spend time
together and talk about their college lives. Komi made friends like Tadano
Maruko, Hatohori Setsuko, and the Sankoichi twins, but she wanted to make
more friends . »
- « Komi mentions that
Rei Natsukido and Mila Burgundy will be visiting her in the summer, and
Tadano is also invited. They talk about Najimi Osana, who is in Brazil,
and both agree that Osana will adapt well to any situation, while Manbagi
Rumiko and Wakai Taketoshi are also still dating . »
- « Eventually, after
their time together, they get kicked out of the park and as they walk back
home, Komi tells Tadano that he doesn't have to go back to his house and
approaches him, suggesting that he shouldn't hold back on her, which makes
Tadano feel flattered, while Komi laughs at his reaction . »
Will the anime adaptation have its long-awaited third season?
