Komi is a shy, kind-hearted, and elegant girl who suffers from extreme social anxiety, making it difficult for her to speak despite her desire to connect with others. To her classmates, she appears cool, graceful, and mysterious, but beneath that exterior she is deeply nervous and easily flustered. Komi is sincere, empathetic, and determined to overcome her communication disorder, setting herself the goal of making 100 friends. Though she rarely speaks, she expresses herself through subtle facial expressions, gestures, and written notes, revealing her innocence, thoughtfulness, and quiet strength
