Komi Can't Communicate (古見さんは、コミュ症です。, Komi-san wa, Komyushō desu.), also called Miss Komi is Bad at Communication and Komi-san Has Trouble Communicating in the English translations, is an ongoing manga series started in 2016 by Tomohito Oda, with 19 volumes released so far. It concerns the title character, who suffers from a condition that has an effect of selective mutism. Despite her beauty and kindness this makes it difficult to make friends; but with the help of her classmate Tadano, she has the goal of making 100 friends.

Tropes used in Komi Can't Communicate include:
  • Ambiguous Gender: Najimi, to the point of Running Gag, if not Ambiguously Human. The narrative never makes it clear if his/her is a girl or a boy using a female uniform. It reaches a boiling point in the teacher-parents reunion chapter, where his/her parents do not show up. At this point, the possibility of it being an android is not to be discarded.
  • Ironic Name: The girl named Komi has communication problems.
  • Mute Protagonist: Komi, due to her condition.
  • Nekomimi: When Komi is curious about something, she sprouts cat ears. Nobody else has commented on this, so it would be easy to dismiss it as yet another stylistic effect in the manga medium (after all, for a character whose dialogue is constrained one takes opportunity for expressiveness where one can make them), except that it is shown in one scene that Komi has a nagging anxiety and confusion about why she sometimes grows them.
  • Proper Tights with a Skirt: Komi wears her school uniform using that combination.
