Netflix is listing the television anime of Tomohito Oda's Komi Can't Communicate (Comi-san wa Comyushō desu.) manga for release in India alongside its worldwide debut on October 21, two weeks after its Japanese premiere.
Netflix describes the anime:
At a high school full of unique characters. Tadano helps his shy and unsociable classmate Komi reach her goal of making friends with 100 people.
Ayumu Watanabe (Mysterious Girlfriend X, After the Rain, Children of the Sea) is the chief director for the anime, while Kazuki Kawagoe (Beyblade Burst God storyboarder and episode director) is directing the anime at OLM. Deko Akao (Snow White with the Red Hair, Noragami, Flying Witch) is in charge of series composition. Atsuko Nakajima (Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom, Ranma ½, Tokyo Ghoul:re) is designing the characters.
Cider Girl is performing the opening theme song "Cinderella." Kitri is performing the ending theme song "Hikareinochi."
Viz Media is releasing the manga in English, and it describes the story:
Timid Tadano is a total wallflower, and that's just the way he likes it. But all that changes when he finds himself alone in a classroom on the first day of high school with the legendary Komi. He quickly realizes she isn't aloof—she's just super awkward. Now he's made it his mission to help her on her quest to make 100 friends!
Oda launched the manga in Weekly Shonen Sunday in May 2016, after first publishing a one-shot version of the manga in September 2015. Shogakukan published the manga's 22nd compiled book volume on August 18, and will publish the 23rd volume on October 18. Viz Media published the manga's 14th volume on August 10.
The manga is also inspiring a live-action series that premiered on September 6 at 10:45 p.m. JST on NHK General's "Yorudora" late-night drama block.
