Komi Can't Communicate Watch Order (2026 Guide)

Shoko Komi is the most admired girl at Itan Private High School, and almost no one realizes she freezes up whenever she tries to speak. Hitohito Tadano, the ordinary boy in the next seat, finds out and offers to help with her goal of making 100 friends. The anime adapts Tomohito Oda's manga in two seasons on Netflix.

Quick answer

  1. Komi Can’t Communicate
  2. Komi Can’t Communicate Season 2

2 titles · 24 episodes · ~9.5 hours

Two seasons of twelve episodes each, watched in order. Season 2 is sometimes labeled Part 2 or folded into a single 24-episode listing, but it is the same second batch of episodes either way.

1

Komi Can’t Communicate

  • TV Series
  • 12 episodes
  • October 2021

Start here. Twelve episodes covering the first part of Komi's first year, from her blackboard conversation with Tadano to the culture festival.

2

Komi Can’t Communicate Season 2

  • TV Series
  • 12 episodes
  • April 2022

Twelve more episodes that finish the same school year, from winter through White Day.

⚠ Some listings show the two seasons as a single 24-episode season.

Why This Order

Komi Can't Communicate has no films, OVAs or specials, so the order is simply Season 1 followed by Season 2. The two seasons aired six months apart, in October 2021 and April 2022, and together they cover Komi's first year of high school. The only confusion is naming: databases call the second batch Season 2, 2nd Season or Part 2, and some listings merge everything into one 24-episode season.

Where to start reading after the Komi Can't Communicate anime

Pick up right after Season 2

Manga Vol. 10 Chapter 130

The anime rearranges the manga's short chapters and skips some, so the volume ranges are approximate. Season 1 ends on the first chapter of volume 6, the culture festival after-party; sources number it chapter 73 or chapter 75. Season 2 ends on chapter 129, the first chapter of volume 10.

What to watch next

Picked for the same appeal: shy people making friends slowly, in short comic episodes.

  • Bocchi the Rock! A girl with severe social anxiety finds her way into a band, and much of the comedy takes place inside her head.
  • The Dangers in My Heart A withdrawn boy and the most popular girl in his class drift together in the school library, one small scene at a time.
  • Horimiya Two classmates discover each other's out-of-school selves, and the couple forms early instead of at the end.
