History Characters / KomiCantCommunicateMainCharacters

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Everyone admires Komi, guys and girls alike. Yamai in particular, ''really'' wants to get in her pants.

* LovingAShadow: Everyone seems to think she is a cool beauty and a class idol, completely unaware she is actually a nervous wreck who can barely speak to anyone.

* PeerlessLoveInterest: To Tadano, who considers her ''way'' above his league in terms of beauty and school standing. However, Tadano's pedestal for Komi is nowhere as unreachable as the pedestal their classmates put her on.

* SlidingScaleOfBeauty: "Common Beauty", Some characters notice that he is actually somewhat handsome, but they still don't understand what a "goddess" like Komi sees in him.

** [[spoiler: Kawai Rami, the girl that he confessed to in middle school, ''actually liked him back'' (and ''still does'' in the present day), but she rejected him because she genuinely believed his {{Chuunibyou}} phase was lame and hoped that he would grow of it so that [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim he would become a more mature person]]. However, she fully believed that she would be able to come back and begin dating Tadano regardless of how much time passed, [[GoneHorriblyRight which would come back to bite her in the ass]] since Tadano developed his ability to read people as a result of this incident, which allowed him to befriend and eventually begin dating Komi (whose beauty is on par with Kawai's).]]

** As well, he's average at ''almost everything'', meaning that he's a JackOfAllTrades: He may not be the best at something, be he can still do anything with a reasonable amount of skill. For example, he's the one that helps teach his friends how to snowboard

* TheAce: She's good at everything she tries to do, except talking. She's athletic enough to win school competitions and her grades are often some of the best in her year. She's able to pick up skills like snowboarding and ice skating in minutes. [[spoiler:When Tadano teaches Komi how to ride a bicycle and she isn't learning as fast, he starts to suspect that the bike is broken because she would otherwise have figured it out right away. Sure enough, when she rides Tadano's bicycle instead, she gets going immediately.]]

* SingleTargetSexuality: She has eyes for Tadano alone, though very few people are aware of this. It's a good thing, though, as it's pretty much implied that the whole school would kill Tadano if they knew how partial Komi is towards him (as shown during the second cultural festival arc). [[spoiler:By the time they do become a couple this pretty much ceases to be an issue, as their whole class is supportive of the romance and Komi shows she's willing to physically get in the way of anyone who would seek to harm Tadano over it.]] Even in a group setting, she tends to gravitate towards Tadano out of a sincere desire to be in his company.

* TheAce: She's good at everything she tries to do, except talking. She's athletic enough to win school competitions and her grades are often some of the best in her year. She's able to pick up skills like snowboarding and ice skating in minutes. [[spoiler:When Tadano teaches Komi how to ride a bicycle and she isn't learning as fast, he (correctly) starts to assume that the bike is broken because Komi would otherwise have figured it out right away. Sure enough, when she rides Tadano's bicycle instead, she gets going immediately.]]

** In chapter 356 she takes some surprisingly provocative photos of herself with the intent to send them to Tadano and get a photo of him in return (though she's too embarrassed to go through with it and ends up just sending one that looks like a normal photo I.D.)

* TheAce: She's good at everything she tries to do, except talking. She's athletic enough to win school competitions and her grades are often some of the best in her year. She's able to pick up skills like snowboarding and ice skating in minutes. [[spoiler:When Tadano teaches Komi how to ride a bicycle and she isn't learning as fast, he (correctly) starts to assume that the bike is broken because Komi would otherwise have figured it out right away.

* TheAce: To a lesser extent than her father and brother, but still apparent. She's athletic enough to win school competitions and her grades are often some of the best in her year. She's able to pick up skills like bicycle riding and ice skating in minutes. The only thing she's bad at is talking.

* MistakenForGay: Played for laughs. His parents and his sister think that he might have some BL tendencies. His sister doesn't even trust him to have attained Komi's friendship without him having done something iffy to do it. It doesn't quite help that Katai is more or less in love with him and even gave him chocolate on Valentine's Day.

* NoRespectGuy: During his first year, despite being TheReliableOne, being both the Class Rep and the resident "Komi Whisperer", he's also earned the scorn of the majority of his classmates for being the closest one to Komi. This aspect of his character gets phased out in his second year as his new classmates both [[ThrowTheDogABone respect him as the Class Rep]] and even [[ShipperOnDeck ship him with Komi]].

* TranquilFury: When Onemine offhandedly suggests that Komi might be looking down on people, Tadano is quick and succinct to retort that such a thing ''is not true''. His blunt reaction, which is [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness very uncharacteristic of him]], shows Onemine that she hit a nerve and that she shouldn't even begin suggesting anything bad about Komi in front of Tadano.

* ImproperlyParanoid: Komi has a tendency to agonize over little things and interaction hiccups that normally should not warrant embarrassment or regret, which she thinks will cause people to alienate her, most of which Tadano helps her overcome. These stem from her initial perception that people's chitchat surrounding her beauty and demure is taken by her as malicious chitchat.

** As she gains confidence, she begins showing a adorably cocky side to her and a love for "showing off" a bit to people she trusts and wants praise from.

* HeightAngst: Dislikes being as tall as she is, to the point of openly panicking at the possibility of passing 170cm (about 5'7"), and is visibly relieved upon being measured at 169cm (roughly half an inch shorter) instead.

* HiddenBuxom: She dresses modestly most of the time which constricts her figure. When she's seen in a dress it shows off her curves better, but not until she's in a swimsuit is it fully obvious that she's actually quite busty, arguably second to Agari.

* HugeSchoolgirl: Is 168cm (5'6.1") tall; significantly taller than even the average for adult women in Japan, though it causes her HeightAngst due to not wanting to be seen as unusual. By her second year she is 169cm (5'6.5") and presumably done growing taller.

** She is surprisingly competitive when it comes to games, sports, interpersonal interactions... and cats. Her competitiveness is a trait she inherited from her grandma and shares with her cousin Akira. In Chapter 212, when she barely loses the interclass relay to Netsuko, she ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness stomps the ground in frustration]]''.

* HugeSchoolgirl: Is 168cm (5'6.1") tall; significantly taller than even the average for adult women in Japan, though it causes her HeightAngst due to not wanting to be seen as unusual.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Komi dreads being called a "goddess" by her classmates, and the adulation she's given causes her nothing but embarrassment. According to herself, it's because this is completely unwarranted due to the fact she herself doesn't recognize the fundamental source of said praises, but she doesn't have the communication skills or the courage to rebuke those.

** Develops one for Komi's hair in his face.
** He also "about to awaken something" after being stood on by her when trying to reach a window.

* CovertPervert:

** When Tadano dresses as a maid for the culture festival, Komi tries to feel his "boobs".

** In chapter 356 she takes some surprisingly provocative photos of herself with the intent to send them to Tadano and get a photo of him in return (though she's too embarassed to go through with it and ends up just sending one that looks like a normal photo I.D.)
** Her [[TheBigDamnKiss first real kiss]] with Tadano awakens her thirsty side, prompting her to take the lead with uncharacteristic assertiveness and pin him down for more.

* CharacterDevelopment: It's subtle and painstakingly slow for her, but there are hints of her slowly growing out of her dependency on using notebooks as a way to communicate.

** In Chapter 144 she blushes and looks away when she catches a glimpse of Tadano's briefs, but then immediately looks back in the next panel. The next page has her sneaking another look.

--> '''Narator''': He took a good long look.
