Komi Can’t Communicate, Vol. 24

The journey to 100 friends begins with a single conversation.

Socially anxious high school student Shoko Komi’s greatest dream is to make some friends, but everyone at school mistakes her crippling social anxiety for cool reserve. Luckily she meets Tadano, a timid wallflower who decides to step out of his comfort zone in order to help her achieve her goal of making 100 friends.

It’s White Day! Traditionally, guys give girls a gift to thank them for their Valentine’s Day chocolate. But the boys of Itan High are putting their own spin on the holiday, with interesting results. And while Tadano might be giving Komi and Manbagi a rather basic present, the question he wants to ask Komi is anything but!
