☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeVolume 12 of the slice-of-life manga series follows Shoko Komi, a high school girl with crippling social anxiety, as she continues her quest to make 100 friends. This installment focuses on her deepening friendships and the challenges of communication, including a school trip that tests her social skills. Written and illustrated by Tomohito Oda, the volume collects chapters from the ongoing series published by Viz Media under its Shonen Sunday imprint.
In "Teacher," Komi and her family take in a new student whose guarded demeanor stems from being repeatedly separated from her mother. Written by Tomohito Oda and John Werry, with art and inks by Tomohito Oda and letters by Eve Grandt, this heartfelt chapter explores quiet connections and the effort it takes to reach someone who’s learned to keep others at a distance. The cover by Tomohito Oda captures the story’s gentle, observant tone.
In "My Boyfriend," Tadano steps in to protect Rumiko from an overly forward stranger, quickly claiming to be her boyfriend—only to watch her reaction shift from confusion to quiet unease. The moment hangs in the air, charged with unspoken tension as their usual dynamic tilts into something neither of them expected.
In "Radio Exercises," Jo and her friends stumble upon a local radio station’s park promotion offering stamps for participation—perfect for a quiet day out. Komi, ever the reluctant participant, finds herself drawn to the idea, even as her shyness makes the thought of joining feel overwhelming.
In "Hot Milk," Jo finds herself navigating the quiet tension of hosting a new girl from a friend’s family, a girl whose sharp edges seem forged by repeated goodbyes. As Jo tries to connect, the quiet house fills with unspoken words and the slow, careful work of making space for someone who’s learned to keep people at a distance.
