Back in July 2024, it was announced that Tomohito Oda’s Komi Can’t Communicate manga was approaching its final arc. Fast forward six months and the series is almost at an end, with this year’s seventh issue of Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine revealing that it will end in just two chapters.
The manga first launched in the pages of Shonen Sunday back in May 2016, and has been collected in 35 volumes so far in Japan. VIZ Media has published 32 in English to date, with the 33rd on the way.
Since its debut, Komi Can’t Communicate has inspired two seasons of anime and a live-action series. The first anime season premiered in October 2021, with Netflix streaming outside of Japan. The second season followed in April 2022.
Ayumu Watanabe (Witch Hat Atelier) serves as chief director for the anime, with Kazuki Kawagoe (ZOM 100: Bucket List of the Dead) directing, Deko Akao (Noragami) on series composition and Atsuko Nakajima (Ranma 1/2) adapting character designs at anime production house OLM.
Here’s how VIZ Media describes the original manga:
Komi Can’t Communicate Synopsis
Timid Tadano is a total wallflower, and that’s just the way he likes it. But all that changes when he finds himself alone in a classroom on the first day of high school with the legendary Komi. He quickly realizes she isn’t aloof—she’s just super awkward. Now he’s made it his mission to help her on her quest to make 100 friends!
