Komi Can't Communicate, Vol. 7 by Tomohito Oda

5.0

Even though it's winter in this volume, I appreciated reading it and had a blast!

The same quirky gang get into the same quirky shenanigans, but it's still fun to see what everyone's doing and how Komi reacts to each situation.

Najimi was easily the funniest character in this volume. Her calling everyone for a shrine visit was absolute gold, I'm amazed nobody tried to kill her thanks to her poor timing. Can I just say, though, that I totally understand why she's so popular? I know the running gag of her being friends with everyone has been going on since the first volume, but I truly get why that's the case. She's a ton of fun and enthusiastic, but also knows when to put on the brakes and is respectful of other people's limits. She may not be the most complex character, but she's tons of fun!

Komi is as adorable as ever in this volume and her interactions with Tadano are adorable as well. I loved the final chapter, it was so damn sweet and pure! It was also nice seeing more of Katai's growing friendship with Tadano (and possibly more??). Oh, and the snowman chapter was great. I love manga chapters where there aren't any words, just gestures and pictures in dialogue bubbles. Weirdly specific, I know, but it's true.

I have no idea what to expect next, but that's kind of what I like about this series. It's so open in terms of plot structure that each volume can be about anything and it would still work. All I know is I'm looking forward to the next volume and whatever it has in store!
