Komi Can't Communicate, Vol. 8

Love the series. Great book. All in English and in black and white.

Volume 8 of Komi Can't Communicate continues the adventures of the cripplingly shy teenger Shoko Komi and her quest to make more friends. This volume, which contains chapters 100 through 113 of the story, is mainly about a school trip to Kyoto. Along the way Komi has a chance to explore a new city and meet new people. I found that this volume continues the enjoyable characters, premise, and humor of the previous volumes. This is bolstered by the introduction of some new characters including the narcissistic Naruse and the rather introverted friends Kato and Sasaki. The overall story continues at an enjoyable pace. While Komi still acts like her usual shy self, she also is forced to act more on her own as she is separated from Tadano during the trip. She also starts to realize that she has feelings for him. As with the previous volumes, I found that the artwork here is top notch with its usual detailed background art and expressive characters. In conclusion, if you have enjoyed the series so far, you will enjoy this installment as well.

This is a wonderful series. I've often seen social anxiety treated as a joke, where those characters are made the butt of jokes but this one does not. While it's a comedy series, Komi's anxiety is treated with gentleness and the other characters are the targets of the humor, all while still being her friends. If you're looking for a nice read that will make you smile, and occasionally laugh, I highly recommend this one.

great shape

Komi is just so darn cute & completely adorable. So shy & demure. I envy the boy, to be so close to the school princess. And what's this? She's coming to accept that she has feelings for him, greater than just friendship. I truly hope love blossoms between these 2. They are perfect for each other, & both are longing to be accepted, & to be loved. They deserve happiness. Art, just fantastic. Dialogue, very real, very good. Characters, believable, likable, relatable, enjoyable.

I've been following Komi Can't Communicate since volume 1 and it continues to excel. While there is the usual cast of wacky classmates, Oda keeps the focus on Shouko Komi and her desire to make a hundred friends, assisted by her perfectly average classmate HItohito Tadano. Oda hints that their friendship might be developing into something more, but who can tell with teenagers? Very entertaining, especially to those of us who have been or are socially awkward.

The story was fantastic as always. I finished it in a few days and have already purchased the next volume as well. The book series is awesome and recommend reading it.

Just a great series overall. The interactions between characters, the drawing style everything about these books complement each other. Love the everyday life mangas and this doesn’t disappoint.

This is a cute Rom-com story pretty somewhat relatable. Good read 8.5/10

Tragam mais volumes

Anche se non mi sono resa conto che non è della J-Pop, è comunque bellissimo! Ho finito di recente di leggere il settimo capitolo (J-Pop) e ho iniziato da poco l'ottavo, e comunque riesco a capirlo. Trascrizione óptima, vignette e testo ben curati, manga ben curato quando consegnato.

Out of all the various manga I've read over the years, I still can't believe I overlooked one as good as this. Now I'm hooked.

My daughter reads this series and it's so much cheaper buying them via Amazon than at the store. They are in perfect condition and super fast postage!
