Komi Can’t Communicate Vol. 29

The journey to 100 friends begins with a single conversation in Komi Can’t Communicate Vol. 29!

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.

Itan High is in danger! Proxy Chair Icho has accidentally placed the school on the chopping block, but the students still have one way to save their beloved institution—study camp! There’s another school at the camp, though, and their star pupil is someone special from Tadano’s past. How will Komi handle the scholastic and romantic competition?!
