Komi Can’t Communicate Anime So Far!

The most vital point of Komi Can’t Communicate so far is the characters and their interactions. Interpersonal relations in a Slice of Life anime are crucial to the plot, as a lack of chemistry of interesting dialogue leaves a show feeling flat or empty of soul. On the other hand, Komi-san, despite not being able to interact with the other characters effectively, their interactions are full of comedy and exciting dialogue prompted by the quirkiness of the cast and the uniqueness of the conversations with Komi-san.

The first friend outside of Tadano that Komi-san makes is Najimi Osana, a popular member of their class who has known Tadano for years. Osana adds the bridge between Komi-san and the other classmates we get introduced to throughout the anime, like the over-dramatic Omoharu Nakanaka or the yandere Ren Yamai, giving the cast a reason to start talking to the unapproachable Komi.
