Komi Can't Communicate, Vol. 19

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.

Najimi takes the role of Komi’s friendship mentor very seriously (sometimes), so when it comes to light that Komi has only made eight new friends this school year, Najimi steps in to remedy the situation. But can the friendly blind date Najimi sets up lead to anything but awkwardness when everyone there has a communication disorder?!
