Introduction KomiSan Cant Communicate from now on KomiSan is going to have an adaptation on October 2021 so I decided to spit my thoughts about its manga source and how I received its so far 301 chapters. As a little summary Id say that KomiSan is a fun and wholesome manga that can be easily enjoyable that portraits in a sweet way how teenagers struggle with their social struggles. Even though if you are expecting a lot of romance evolution and a lot of things happening well this might not be your best read. Im gonna deepen a little bit more about all of this in their respective categories but in general I could say that KomiSan can get relatively easily repetitive. That being said lets start talking about KomiSan parts The plot: Does its job but not a deep one The plot isnt a strong point in this manga so far and its made on purpose: the story is centered towards our main protagonist: Shouko Komi. Its in fact the definition of a slice of life. And dont get me wrong thats not a bad thing it simply makes the plot not as important as it could be in another shows. As I said the plot in KomiSan is simple but still does its work. It consists on Komis view of life most of the time and how she tries to make friends while she has to fight herself and her communication disorder. This all starts with her meeting the other main protagonist Hitohito Tadano. Since this point were living the daily lives of Komi and sometimes of some other character with not too much twists on it. Little twists occur and to comment them I have to spoil a little bit. First spoiler is related to first part of the manga: Now the next one is about chapters approximately 170 301 chapters so far released when Im writing this: In general plot is okay and does its work but lacks some development and fresh new ideas. I like it but its not the strong point of this manga. Characters: Lights and shadows Characters on KomiSan are in my opinion very unbalanced. While most of them are enjoyable hmm hmm Yamai Ren the vast majority are pretty much the same through all the 301 chapters Ive read. The best example of this is Najimi pretty much the same as the beginning. Having this said Im gonna highlight the characters with most development oh surprise they are the protagonists and why I like them better or worse: 1 Shouko Komi: The absolute protagonist and proabably best character of the manga. She has a communication disorder and we can see how she struggles to overcome it. In the very first chapter she can only communicate via a chalkboard and with time we can see her big little steps on this. Shes absoultely kind friendcaring and honest and one of the characters with better development. I can really understand her and watching her progression makes me happy. The spoiler ahead is for chapters 200301: 2 Hitohito Tadano: The main male protagonist of the series a total wallflower. He hasnt evolved pretty much like Komi has done but still has a fair amount of development and its a pretty relatable character. He wants to get unnoticed but at the same time wants his friends aka Komi to be happy and comfortable. Hes pretty much the only one who can understand Komi in this manga with Manbagis permission and he makes a good tandem with her. Again the spoilers ahead are for chapters 200301: 3 Manbagi Rumiko: He appears late in the show but easily gets better and more important than most characters showing its evolution from a stereotypical Manba Gyaru to a pretty relatable person with the need of expressing herself but at the same time with lots of fears and unsecurities. Shes the character who appears the last but still one of best evolved in the manga. Of course the spoilers ahead are for chapters 200301: 4 Other Characters: I put the spoiler tag because it would be difficult to talk about more characters without mentioning details. Again its for chapters 200301: In conclusion the cast is fun and enjoyable but beyond the main characters they are pretty much onedimensional. This being said I like the protagonists a lot and theyre the ones making this manga as wholesome and funny as it is Art: Appealing and clean Im not an expert on art especially having read little manga but I think that it appeals the show. Its clean art with the capability of doing little changes when its necessary. I think its perfectly adapted to the manga without making nothing outstanding. Conlusion: My enjoyment Concluding I really liked this manga as a whole but lacks some details that could make it even better. The read is really really fun if youre aware of its little general progress and development but want to chill a bit or dont know anything about it and dive into it like I did. Also Id like to comment how this manga focuses in communication disorders and struggles. Its not a harsh one like I heard Inio Asano does because it does not try to do it that way. The definition of it is wholesome but even so portraying it in a decent way. Personally I think its a good read if you have time and want to laugh and make simper smiles. Be aware of its little repetitive side but Id recommend it if you like slices of life Thank you for your time and hope you enjoyed my review EDIT updates on chapters after 301:
