Komi Can’t Communicate Volume 35 is a Harsh Reminder that Tomohito Oda May be Relying Too Much on the Netflix Formula

Komi Can’t Communicate instantly became the crowd’s favorite thanks to its goofy, likable characters and its simple but effective main premise. Among many renowned rom-com anime, Tomohito Oda’s story is celebrated as one of the standout titles. It follows the story of an anxious girl struggling to make friends in high school, and who finally starts to make some headway with the help of Tadano.

The manga has been ongoing for almost a decade now with its final arc already in the works. Interestingly, Komi Can’t Communicate Volume 35 has become a center of attention online, with many fans showcasing concern and disapproval of Tomohito Oda’s direction towards the latest manga chapters. With no news about Season 3, the manga risks losing its appeal among fans, potentially jeopardizing its decade-long legacy.

How Netflix’s Priorities Could Compromise the Future of Komi Can’t Communicate

High schooler Shoko Komi is a beautiful but anxious, shy girl who struggles with a communication disorder and has spent most of her time in solitude, lacking companionship. The story unfolds as a heartwarming romance between Komi and Hitohito Tadano, her classmate, who is the first boy to truly understand her.

Although the anime has garnered much affection from fans, Tomohito Oda’s narrative choices to prolong the story in the final chapters aren’t earning their approval, raising questions about the mangaka’s direction. A few months back, Tomohito Oda released the cover of Volume 34, leading many fans to believe it would mark the conclusion of the story.

It seems Tomohito might be following in Netflix’s footsteps, which has gained a notorious reputation for undermining many stories and compromising their endings. The manga has been ongoing for over a decade, and fans are eagerly anticipating when the dream couple will finally get together.

The manga first launched in the pages of Shonen Sunday back in May 2016, and has been collected in 34 volumes so far in Japan. With the announcement of Volume 3, fans fear Tomohito might compromise the perfect ending by dragging the story out for too long. Not to forget, the manga is going through a rough patch with fans, with fans expressing dissatisfaction with Tomohito’s art style as well.
