My predictions for Komi's final 18 friends before 100. I feel we probably have already met all of them so far, so here who I think they'll be.

I don't think I have any wild predictions, but I'm posting this so I can see how wrong I was when the series eventually reaches it's conclusion.

Also, I started writing this before ch. 441 dropped, but the newest chapter has only made me more certain about my first guesses, which brings us to...

83: Maruko Tadano

Considering the current arc, this one seems pretty likely. We still don't know if she's related to Tadano (though I assume she is), maybe we'll learn next chapter when they inevitably become friends. That is, if the next chapter is about them at the family restaurant along with the next four...

84: Setsuko Hatohori (Egypt); 85: Sakura Sankoichi; 86: Tsubaki Sankoichi; 87: Ajisai Sankoichi

My theory is that Komi will befriend all the applicants from ch. 437 and we will continue to see them throughout the application process. I'm now even more sure of this after the recent ch. 441 and hopefully we see them again next chapter.

88: Nokoko Inaka

It's bound to happen at some point, I feel it will happen soon after the current arc but that's just a guess. I believe she's one of the most likely on this list to become Komi's friend, though maybe she'll sign her name a little later on.

Inaka has been around since being in Komi's first-year class, similar to my next entry...

89: Toshio Seikimatsu; 90: Hana Soboku

Seikimatsu has been around since the start of the manga and was the catalyst for Tadano starting conversation with Komi, that alone should be enough for him to be Komi's eventual friend. I hope he gets to take his girlfriend on a double date with Komi and Tadano like he wants, solidifying both as Komi's friends. They also both were with Komi, Tadano, and Kawai's group in ch. 403 & 402, and Soboku and Komi greeted each other in ch. 430.

91: Lily Sukida

Another character who has been around for a while. Sukida has popped up a lot so I assume Oda is planning on doing something with her character. Given that she currently doesn't approve of Komi's relationship with Tadano, I assume that will have to be resolved before they become friends.

I wonder if Sukida would have reacted differently in ch. 423 if Komi had questioned her with Rumiko instead of Tadano (she was okay with Tadano pretend dating Rumiko in ch. 433, why not herself?) but I digress, seeing Miss Tadano / Tadano in the girls' uniform again was nice too and perhaps will be part of how they'll later become friends.

92: Goro Suteno; 93: Hajime Gokudo; 94: Yae Hamaki; 95: Makina Kusari

These four have been in the story since the start of second year and have had an ongoing plotline focused on Katai.

My prediction is that upon realising Katai isn't Komi they'll assume Komi is some sort of delinquent mastermind controlling Katai from the shadows, or something silly like that, and choose to "work for her" (sign her book).

They're not the most talked about when considering possible friends, but I think they have a reasonable chance considering their current thing is, while being a misunderstanding, focused around "Komi." Speaking of characters I don't see often being brought up in these discussions...

96: Miwa Omojiri

A little outside Komi's normal friendship age range, but she recently befriended Michita so we know Komi doesn't exclude older friends. She's been around awhile, I think she could make a good friend if she had another chapter or two.

She's also the only character (besides Shiina) yet to become a friend who has their name in ch. 416.

Also in ch. 416, in the background, you can see Inaka as well as the next entry...

97: Komorebi Hiki; 98: Susumi Shujo; 99: Aoi Netsuno

Hiki and Susumi will undoubtably be a friend after ch. 436's last page. I presume Aoi will join them later and also become Komi's friend.

Considering how Oda likes to number the friends I think the order of these three will go "Hiki, Susumi, Aoi;" this is part of the reason why I don't think Hiki will be friend 100. Which leads us to...

100: Muzuka Shiina

Who didn't see this one coming? I know other people also suspect Shiina will be friend 100, and I agree. I wonder what's holding Shiina back from considering Komi a friend, hopefully we'll see when she inevitably becomes one.

This is all the friends up to 100. If this is where the manga chooses to finish this is how I think the list will go. However, I have another theory...

101: Yo Fuki; 102: Teruyoshi Jimochi; 103: Maheto Haheto; 104: Luna Neguse; 105: Fukuyoka Muchi; 106: Kanchi Gai; 107: Yakugaku Komata; 108: Hamaru Tsubo; 109: Shota Kori; 110: Takaomo Fuechi; 111: Kaoru Fukitsu; 112: Marin Saotome

Yep, I think all the other class 3-1 students will be Komi's friend as well. My theory is that upon almost reaching her goal, Komi will become closer with her classmates and want to become friends with all of them, but can't because of her arbitrary goal. Perhaps Shiina will make her realise that making 100 be the limit is silly and prompt her to become friends with the rest similar to ch. 323.

There are some other characters that could be candidates if Komi made more than 100 friends, but this post is getting long already.

Anyway, that's my silly little theory on who the last Komi friends will be. Hope you enjoyed reading :).

Most of these are pretty safe bets. I wonder what differences other peoples lists have to mine.

[wrecking-man]

She says 'head teacher' in this translation, but I'm pretty sure that she is the vice principal... Tadano and Komi's homeroom teacher from year 1 should be the current head teacher, unless I am mistaken.

It seems that she has a thing for bulging muscles, as well as elegance.

Oh god... She's a pervert...!

That smile... That damn smile...

The Komi Report - Communication 450

Komi is a day early!? This week in Komi Can't Communicate:

Broth is sampled...

...and dreams are dashed upon the stones.

Read It: Mangareader Mangakakalot Viz Media (North America Exclusive) Mangadex (English updates are dead, but there’s the backlog; and Spanish + Portuguese language updates)

I was caught completely by surprise this morning when I woke up and had a notification from the r/komi_san discord server (I exclusively use it for the new chapter notifications. All other notifications are muted and I never go in there because I value my sanity aklsdnlkasndlaksnd).

Now that tensions within the broth crew have been loosened they can get into the favourite pastime of friends everywhere - good-natured bickering.

Nanoda was so timid when she first appeared, so it's really nice to see her coming out of her shell.

I've only eaten good restaurant ramen once - other than that it's been 2 minute stuff - so I don't know what to make of this smelly-ramen vs unsmelly-ramen conflict. Where do you stand?

My girl is flopping so hard at this aksdlkansd.

I might have a hard time explaining this one, but; I love seeing Komi fail. She tried her best to settle the ramen dispute but doesn't know what to do and is sort of useless.

Part of it is I want her to learn that she doesn't need to be problem solver girl all the time, and her friends will like her and want her around even if she isn't "usefull". She's a leader among her peers but it's ridiculous to put everything on her own shoulders, and her peers can solve their own problems such as in the case of the broth. All Komi needs to do to be valuable is be there.

The other part of it is my sadism flaring up.

Really funny that she blames him here. A girl needs her tantrums

Only a brief glimpse of them..... Oda you tease me.....

Also add an entry to the list of left-handed Sukida appearances

My complements to tumblr user fareasterncurlew for this infographic which I think about every day

Classic Najimi gag

Miwa Omojiri my beloved, hello again. Also Tsubo is so me... I would be laughing so hard....

Such heart-breaking news after all their hard work. I love how the camaraderie of the class keeps them in good spirits!!! So many times I've been in a bad situation but I've felt alright because I could laugh about it with good company.

It brings a tear to my eye....

This is really funny but also!! Ogiya comforting Kori is super nice after them being recently at odds. Kori blended into the group so quickly after they figured him out.

The culture festival!!!! AAAAAA I'm excited

We've been shown this beautiful glimpse of what Hiki and the girls are up to. Aaaahh, maid cafes. Literally what would we do without them?

Oda I'm still waiting for a follow up to the Susumi/Hiki yuri...... and I want Yamai/Nakanaka band yuri.... and I want SukiYama yuri.... Oda give me yuri please I'm starved Oda I'm starved to death and dying fatally.......

I hope the culture festival is 50 chapters long and every character is featured and has a super funny joke and there's lots of yuri and wakai dies mysteriously between chapters and is never mentioned again and we find out the details of the Ase/Naruse kiss and Benujit Spopo appears and Tadano is force-femmed permanently and there's happiness, free, for everyone!!!!! And no one is left behind!!!!

Stay safe! I'll see you next week!

WHY ARE GYARU SO BULLIED WILL YOU GUYS STOP

Omojiri Miwa, by Lecca_Aisu.

[incorrectcommunication]

Teacher: Komi...as you know, the assignment was to being in something important to you. Komi: Yes, I know. And I did that. Teacher: I meant bring in an object. Now please put Tadano down.

[wrecking-man]

I don’t know how Emoyama is going to survive with all of the emo energy these two will radiate over the next year... And in such close proximity! She is going to die.

Guess he decided that his specialty was best left unsaid after what happened in 1-1.

Heh. Perhaps there’s hope for this class after all. They came together as one.

They will soon learn why people refer to Tadano as Chadano. They will soon learn.

Okay, well this is a bizarre reaction after just a few panels ago. I kinda have to call bs on it. The entirety of classes 1-1 and 2-1 were itching to be friends with her. And now she can’t get even a single taker? Bullroar.

Who said that? I just want to talk.

Right. Let’s go with that.

I’m a bit miffed about that last comment one of their classmates made... Who said it?

Somewhat possible that Tadano or Najimi were wondering aloud... But it still doesn’t make sense. Guess we’ll find out what their hangups are in the next chapters.

Hiki is coming back! Just as I knew she would!

I love Hiki, okay. She’s a real cutie. And tall. I can’t wait to see Komi and Hiki’s dynamic. That’s going to be quite something. And it gives us another reason to see more of Inaka as well, since she and Hiki are cousins.

[general-thinks]

Miwa if I were you I would have already asked for a rise

[wrecking-man]

Omagawa flashback! Omagawa flashback!!!

Hm. I see, I see!

That’s actually pretty sad though... She has been calling people cute all this time, but nobody has told her that she was cute in response... until now.

You’re cute, Omagawa!!!... Now sit down and let your legs rest...

Give this girl a hug. She’s wanted to be called cute all this time and it finally happened...

...And have her sit down.

Those two things aren’t related! But you’re cute anyways!

YOOOOOUUUUU!!! Why are you so hard to deal with, Shiina???

I guess we’ll be finding out next chapter.

[general-thinks]

MIWA! It's good seeing you back! I hope this year you won't be the death of you liver

[wrecking-man]

Cheer up, Lily. It... It’ll be okay...

She’s cute. Is she crying because she can’t stop saying Nanoda? Or is it because she’s not dating anyone??? Hmm...

But are you dating anyone, Najimi? Oh what am I saying? Of course you aren’t.

I think Najimi is lying here, by the way. Since Najimi was born on April 1st, they should be an Aries, not a Libra.

What am I witnessing here? lmao

[wrecking-man]

Najimi, my... friend! A fellow supporter of the cause... But a teacher dating a student is just no. She needs another teacher, maybe. That would be the easiest route for her. Someone she could see and talk to on a regular basis without going out of her way. There’s gotta be a few good male teachers to choose from.

Bruh

Najimi has really stepped up their trolling game lately, lol. And I see what people were talking about with Najimi losing detail all of a sudden.

I like how you can still make out who that one student is by the silhouette of his hair. It’s like he sprays it while in a wind tunnel.

This girl is one of the classmates I was spoiled on. I love her design.

Yet~

[wrecking-man]

She’s pretty. What’s the catch?

I don’t think I quite get it. I must be missing some context.

I remember seeing this mf. The clumsy guy that knocks shit over. He would get along well with Doji, I think. A match made in heaven???

[wrecking-man]

I don’t remember this one. She’s cute. But what’s the catch?

*Omagawa Machi

... Omojiri-sensei is about to start watching her back on her way home.

Please don’t tell me this dude goes any further than suck on a pacifier and do baby talk.

I like his design, but... Well, I can see why he didn’t make friends.

I don’t think you need to worry about that.

[wrecking-man]

I member you. :)

I look forward to seeing how she does. I remember in the previous year, she would be totally exhausted by the time she got home. Hopefully she is more used to it by now.

By the end of the year, you will have your name in Komi’s book of friends, I swear my life on it.

Cutie. That forehead is prime real estate for kisses. Is it too much to hope for that she manages to get a boyfriend before the manga ends? I think that’d be real cute.

[general-thinks]

I missed Miwa, hope she'll sleep pleanty during this school trip
