![]() ![]() then we got the blackboard scene mentioned above and I became impressed with how the book started handling both her social awkwardness and her attempts at overcoming it. ![]() I mean, it had a few funny scenes, but it initially just wasn't working for me. During the initial set-up chapters, I was pretty sure that I was going to consider this one a disappointment. The chapters were all extremely short and rather awkward. So, this one was a bit rough at the start. Thus Tadano has a new goal, helping Komi at least try to communicate. Through a (wonderful) scene where they communicate on the class blackboard, he realizes that she's wanted to make friends for some time but can't talk to people. After a few interactions, he starts realizing that it's not cold aloofness like others think, but rather extreme social anxiety. He meets Komi who is one of the most popular girls in class, but also one of the most unapproachable. His goal is to pretty much go unnoticed (middle school was a nightmare of bullying and being a social outcast from what little we get from his background). The plot follows Tadano as he starts high school. ![]()
