MANGA REVIEW: KOMI-SAN WA KOMYUSHOU DESU


Komi-san wa komyushou desu is a comedy ,  school life manga from Tomohito Oda. Komi-san is this elegant schoolgirl who everyone considers as somewhat of a cold beauty and think of her as someone out of their league. No one considers themselves worthy enough to even talk to her , in reality Komi-san is just a socially awkward teen who herself finds it difficult to spark a conversation with others and due to all the special treatment from her classmates she tends to stay lonely all the time . Tadano Shigeo , a classmate of her realises this and thus helps Komi-san to grow out of this awkwardness by introducing her to different people in the class.

It is a very sweet and charming coming of age story with light hearted comedy and romance elements as well. It is just heartwarming to see Komi-san tackle her social awkwardness and slowly get past it. All the characters are set up really well , none of the characters are annoying or worthless , everyone brings something to the table. The manga also focusses on the problems faced by the other students in the class and how they are able to tackle them through Komi-san's friendship , this all-round character development is just great to see. The art style and writing fit the tone of the manga perfectly , it balances the comedy and romance aspects really well , all I am saying is don't expect too much romance as it is very subtle but this subtlety is what makes the manga so good to read. Even if you are someone who doesn't enjoy slow burn romance , there is still  enough comedy for you to enjoy. So I think everyone should give this one a go. For a better idea of the art style here are a couple of pages. And just for the record , Komi-san with cat ears is  one of the best things about the manga.


As a socially awkward person myself , I related to this manga a lot as I  have experienced similar kind of situations when I was in highschool . So yeah , if you think that this might be for you then go ahead and give it a go and you will surely have a good time.

Thank you everyone for reading , follow me on twitter for @allaboutanimee for regular anime and manga recommendations , share the blog if possible and have a nice day.
