Komi Can't Communicate #17
In "Wig," Komi, Tadano, and Manbagi navigate the chaotic aftermath of a scripted line that accidentally blurs the line between performance and feeling. As tensions rise and Tadano is forced into drag to escape a mob of overeager classmates, the quiet school life of the trio takes a hilariously awkward turn—just as Komi’s simple line of dialogue sends shockwaves through their carefully balanced world. Written by Tomohito Oda and John Werry, with art and inks by Tomohito Oda, and lettering by Eve Grandt, the issue’s cover by Tomohito Oda captures the moment with sharp, expressive detail.
