Komi’s journey to overcome her social anxiety and make 100 friends is heading towards its finale.
The popular slice-of-life romance manga Komi Can’t Communicate by Tomohito Oda will release only three more chapters. The series first started publishing back in 2016 and immediately grabbed the attention of the readers with its unique premise. For almost a decade, the manga has entertained fans with its diverse array of characters and storyline. Unfortunately, its time has come to a close.
According to the latest announcement in the Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday 2025 Issue 7, the Komi Can’t Communicate manga is entering its final chapters. Currently, the series has 493 chapters, which means it’ll likely end with chapter 496. Fans were hoping for 500 total chapters, and that can still happen if there are several epilogues. The anime adaptation of the series has 24 episodes as of now, and fans are hoping for its return soon.
