Komi Can't Communicate, Vol. 7

The journey to 100 friends begins with a single conversation.

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! With the whole student body keeping their distance and Komi unable to utter a single word, friendship might be forever beyond her reach.

Najimi declares a last-minute Christmas Eve party to be held at Komi’s house, sending the friends into a flurry of gift shopping and Komi into anxious worrying. But when her friends all turn up with good cheer and a giant stuffed animal for her, it turns out Najimi wasn’t just being impulsive—this is Komi’s surprise birthday party too!
