About this Collection
Volume 23 of the slice-of-life manga series continues Shoko Komi's journey as she navigates high school life while working to overcome her severe social anxiety and make 100 friends. This installment features the cultural festival preparations, deepening friendships, and the ongoing development of Komi's relationship with her classmate Tadano.
In "Valentine's Day, Year Two," Komi and Tadano’s quiet efforts to keep their growing connection under wraps hit a snag when their classmates’ well-intentioned secrecy backfires—especially when Yamai learns the truth. Written by Tomohito Oda and John Werry, with art and inks by Oda, and lettering by Eve Grandt, this heartfelt chapter captures the tender, awkward pulse of first love in a way only this series can. The cover by Tomohito Oda perfectly captures the quiet tension of the moment.
