Komi Can't Communicate Review.

What do you get when you take a lame guy and partner him up with a girl who can't talk?  A cute manga.  This is Komi Can't Communicate.


Komi Can't Communicate follows protagonist and average high school student, Hitohito Tadano.  His life changes, for better or worse, when he meets Shoko Komi.  On the surface, Komi appears to be an elegant high school princess who's so cool she doesn't need to talk.  Tadano quickly finds out that she is just so cripplingly shy that she can't bring herself to talk, hence the title.

Not quite sure why our protagonist has a flower in his hair.

Komi may appear to be cool...

...but this is the reality of her situation.
Komi actually CAN communicate, though.  Having a conversation by writing on the blackboard, Tadano finds that Komi's goal in high school is to make 100 friends.  Tadano decides to help her meet this goal, becoming her first friend.  And thus the hilarity begins.

Potential friends include traps...

...S/M weirdos...

...and bi-polar crazy bitches, among others.
As you can see, the series is filled with quirky characters, none more so than Komi herself.  As stated before, she is deathly afraid of talking to other people.  Obviously, this leads to hilarious misunderstandings.  More often than not, people are scared of her because of it.

Because Komi can't speak too well...

...people tend to fill in the gaps with weird stuff.

When Komi walks around like this, she shouldn't be surprised when people...

...react like this.
And when she tries to talk, it's so pathetic it's funny.  Also, she usually has the cutest expression on her face, one where she has wide eyes and no mouth.  It makes her look cute like a mouse.

Mouthless Komi is just the cutest.
Komi may not be able to talk, but she will make you laugh.  Whether you can relate to Komi's struggle or like laughing at people like her, you'll get a kick out of this manga.  It's pretty cute.  Check it out.

Anime Hotties: Yaeko Minegasaki

Image
Do you like young professional women?  Do you like women with purple hair?  Do you like Food Wars, but can't find an adult female to drool over?  Well, guess what?  She exists.  Her name is Yaeko Minegasaki. Yaeko Minegasaki isn't that hard to miss.  She's the first REAL threat Soma Yukihira faces in his quest to become a top-class chef.  She an urban planner and, as such, she's the devil. Soma is not impressed. She's a cool, mature woman.  She knows she's sexy and she's not afraid to use what she's got to get what she wants. A confident Minegasaki attempting to turn on the charm. She does lose her cool from time to time.  For example, she gets scared of buckets and plates of food for no good reason. It's like she's looking at a bucket full of death. To be fair, you never know what Soma is going to feed you. Of course, there's the obligatory food orgasm. The build up... ...and the climax. And a small ...

Anime Hotties: Ikumi Mito

Image
Tan, blonde, scantily-clad, and obsessed with meat.  These things all describe Food Wars' Ikumi Mito...or Nikumi as she's called in the manga...or Meat-Meat as the anime calls her.  No matter what you call her, she's the same girl. Ikumi Mito is a master of procuring, prepping, and cooking meat.  She's also a potential love interest for series protagonist Soma Yukihira.  Of all of Soma's candidates, she's probably the sexiest (or at least she dresses the sexiest).  Rarely seen in a full uniform, she's pretty much shirtless 90% of the time.  It's not hard to see where her appeal lies. Up close to Ikumi's..."appeal". However, sometimes her "appeal" is not good enough. "I lost?  Were my breasts not big enough?" She can be pretty competitive. Ikumi meets the competition. Even Soma can't escape her competitive edge. She can also be aggressive. Don't do it Ikumi! And she's unfa...

Anime Cuties: The Girls Of Himouto! Umaru-chan

Image
Himouto! Umaru-chan is an okay anime series with a decent amount of laugh and wacky characters.  Heck, some of them are even kind of cute.  In particular, you have the hot best friend, the creepy admirer, and the overconfident rival.  Respectively, Nina Ebina, Kirie Motoba, and Sylphynford Tachibana. Umaru and friends enjoy a day at the beach. Nana Ebina is the hot best friend.  She's content to live in Umaru's shadow and tries not to draw attention to herself.  She's a hick trying (successfully) to hide her country accent.  One trying she can't hide, however, is her DOA-caliber chest.  Her head tends to smoke when she's nervous, particularly when she's around Taihei. Nana's head smokes a lot... ...and please don't let her get near Taihei. Nana hides her accent well...until she eats good food. The difference between Nana and the others isn't hard to see here. Kirie Motoba is the creepy admirer.  She's an outsider wh...
