Shuri Komori is a normal middle school girl. . . Well, not quite. She's actually imbued with incredible competency, and when asked for honest help she just can't refuse. Even if it requires ridiculous levels of strength or willpower!

But aside from that, she's just a normal Japanese middle school girl, who hangs with her two friends, Megumi Nishitori and Masako Negeshi. She gets her homework copied, help them in studying, and [[SliceOfLife all other normal middle school girl stuffs.]]

''Komori-san wa Kotowarenai!'' (小森さんは断れない!, literally ''Komori-san Can't Decline!'') is a {{yonkoma}} manga created by Creator/CoolKyouShinsha and published on ''Manga Time Original''. It received an anime adaptation as part of the Fall2015Anime lineup.

!!Komori-san, could you help us with the Trope examples?
* TheAce: Komori can do pretty much anything (except beat tough video games), provided that someone asks her to do it.
* ACupAngst: Megumi and Masako often feel intimidated by Komori's BoobsOfSteel. It's far more common in the anime then the manga due to AdaptationDistillation.
* AdaptedOut: Komori's younger sister, Masako's older sister, and Yamanaka never appear in the anime. [[Manga/ICantUnderstandWhatMyHusbandIsSaying Miki's]] cameo was also replaced with Komori wearing his outfit. Justified in Yamanaka's case since the series only adapted scenes from before he was introduced.
* ADayInTheLimelight:
** Chapters 24-26 are a flashback to how Masako became friends with Komori and Megumi.
** Chapter 31 features an unnamed extra talking with Komori about their time together on the track team.
* AgeLift: Komori started off as 14 in the manga, but is stated to be 15 in the anime.
* AnachronicOrder: The anime takes scenes from the manga at random, although this isn't really a problem due to it being a SliceOfLife.
* BeachEpisode: Episode 8/Chapter 6.
* [[BigBrotherBully Big Sister Bully]]: Masako's elder sister loves to torment her in a FauxAffablyEvil way, even going into a literal [[BigBrotherIsWatching Big Sister Is Watching]] during their hiking trip.
* BoobsOfSteel: Komori is much bustier than the other students, and she's also the strongest. Like, ''[[SuperStrength really]]'' strong.
* TheCameo: It seems like all of Cool-kyou Shinja's works happen in [[TheVerse the same universe]].
** Hajime from ''Manga/ICantUnderstandWhatMyHusbandIsSaying'' can be seen on the train in chapter 9 (he's mostly covered over by the text). In the same chapter, a woman resembling Hiromi from ''[=RaButa=]'' is shown working at a clothing store. Also, the key-chain that Masako got was Frau Rabbit, from the one-shot of the same name.
** Miki also appears in an ImagineSpot during chapter 12. Apparently, he lives nearby Komori's house. In the anime, they changed it to have Komori wearing his outfit.
** According to the newspaper Komori's mother was reading in chapter 27, Haru from ''Manga/{{Ojojojo}}'' recently got married (presumably to Tsurezure). And speaking of Tsurezure, he won the mascot contest that Komori entered in the same chapter. It also places this series about 3-4 years after ''Ojojojo'', since his age is listed as 20.
** A girl that looks like Karrot from ''Frau Rabbit'' asks Komori for a picture while she's dressed as the eponymous character in chapter 42.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: It seems Komori's inability to deny requests may be rooted from this.
* ClassRepresentative: Masako. In a variation of the norm, she's rather shy and something of an introvert. Given that her older brother is her homeroom teacher, he might have given her the position specifically to help her break out of her shell.
* CreatorCameo: Someone is shown dressed like Cool-kyou Shinja's AuthorAvatar in chapter 42.
* DeadpanSnarker: Komori at times, though only around her closest friends.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Yamanaka-kun is often mistaken as a girl. [[spoiler: He's the 'girl' Komori saw Ootani walking with.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: Ootani-kun appears in the background several times before being formally introduced in episode 6. [[AdaptationalEarlyAppearance This only applies to the anime]].
* ExtremeDoormat: Downplayed, and is Komori's most notable feature. She can't decline requests (unless it's Megumi asking for homework). Taken UpToEleven in one scene where Komori can't remember the solution to a particular problem. Negishi-sensei informs her that she answered it correctly earlier, then tries phrasing his words as a request for her to remember. ''[[spoiler:It works.]]''
* EyesAlwaysShut: Komori's mother. Combined with her messy hair, it gives her a constantly exhausted look.
* TheFaceless: Megumi's father is only ever shown as a hand.
* {{Fanservice}}: They made Komori bustier and more [[{{Gainaxing}} jiggly]], with more scenes focusing on her boobs for the anime.
* GagEcho: Combined with HypocriticalHumor in Chapter 22/Episode 7. When Ootani stares at Komori in the pool while jogging, she calls him a pervert (which the rest of the boys repeat). Their positions are reversed at the end of the chapter/episode.
* {{Gainaxing}}: Much more notable in the anime.
* GamerChick: Komori's younger sister is always playing video games. She even skips out on going to a festival so she can stay home and play. Their mother is also one, considering she bought a game which neither [[TheAce Komori]] nor her sister could beat, and she beat it without breaking a sweat.
* GenkiGirl: Megumi is a downplayed example. Komori and Masako often describe her as 'bright'.
* HeroicBSOD: Komori saw Ootani-kun walking with another girl. Cue catatonia.
-->'''Megumi:''' Hey Komori, you okay?\\
'''Komori''' Yeah...\\
'''Megumi:''' Well then let me borrow your homework!\\
'''Komori''' Yeah...\\
(Both of them standing out in the hallway)\\
'''Megumi:''' You didn't do your homework!\\
'''Komori''' Yeah...
* HugeSchoolgirl: Komori is notably taller than the other students. Officially she's 1.8m (6') tall, impossibly tall by East Asian standards--and remember, she's ''14''.
* IronicName: The first syllable of Komori and Ootani's names mean "small" and "large" respectively, an irony that they point out when talking to each other for the first time. They jokingly refer to each other as Oomori and Kotani.
* LapPillow: Ootani falls asleep on Komori's lap during the movie date that he and Komori were set up on.
* MistakenForGay: Ootani comes to the conclusion that Yamanaka has a crush on him when the latter invites him to see a romantic movie ([[ShipperOnDeck Yamanaka was secretly trying to set him up with Komori]]).
* NiceGirl: Komori is a kind girl to the most ridiculous extreme.
* PeekABangs: Megumi used to have BlindingBangs, but she started pulling her hair back at Komori's suggestion. She keeps one side covered [[RuleOfCool because it looks cool]].
* PottyEmergency: Komori lets a few girls with this go in front of her to the one remaining stall... and Komori is afflicted with this afterward.
* ProductionForeshadowing: The main cast of ''[[Manga/OoyasanWaShishunki Ooyasan wa Shishunki!]]'' appear in the crowd when the fireworks are going off in episode 8. Their anime started [[Winter2016Anime the following season]], which [[ProductionThrowback returns the favor]] in its seventh episode, when Shuri and co. appear in the crowd of students having soup.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Ootani got added to the opening/ending in episode seven following his formal introduction in episode six.
* PunnyName: Megumi's suggested name for a cat that resembled Komori was "[[UsefulNotes/SchrodingersCat Shuridinger]]".
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Inverted. Negeshi-sensei isn't Masako's older brother in the anime (he had Komori deliver handouts to her when she was out sick in the anime, while he gave them to her himself in the manga).
* ShipperOnDeck: DoubleSubverted. Megumi and Masako don't like Ootani, but they still try to hook him up with Komori since he never asks her for help.
* ShipTease: As the series goes on, it becomes increasingly obvious that Komori has a thing for Ootani. Later chapters also hint at Megumi/Yamanaka.
* SuperStrength: Komori, hands down.
* TechnicolorEyes: Komori's eyes are pink with a yellow highlight on the bottom in the anime. In the manga they're amber.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Ootani isn't exactly short, but compared to the [[HugeSchoolgirl six foot tall]] Komori, everyone is tiny. As they point out when they first interact, [[IronicName their names mean the exact opposite]].
* TrueCompanions: Komori, Megumi and Masako. Exemplified by the chapter where they're deciding on a high school to enroll in; their advisor explicitly tells them not to be influenced by friends [[LampshadeHanging (directing his attention to Komori in particular)]], and they indeed do their best to listen... and all three choose the same school anyway.
* UncattyResemblance: Played with in that Ootani ends up adopting a cat that resembles Komori. It was originally going to be played straight since Komori's sister wanted to adopt it, but their mother is allergic to cats (and is more of a dog person).
* UnfortunateItemSwap: After their hiking trip, Komori gave some of her pictures to Ootani. The picture in question was [[{{Fanservice}} her wearing a bikini.]] She immediately [[OhCrap realized her mistake]] and grabbed it back.
-->'''Ootani:''' Hey, this is...\\
'''Komori:''' '''WRONG ONE!!'''
* VitriolicBestBuds: Yamanaka flat out admits that the reason why he picks on Ootani is because they're best friends.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Komori is afraid of bugs.
* {{Yonkoma}}: Enforced by the ''Manga Time'' family of magazines, not to mention that's Cool-kyou Shinja's usual format.

** According to the newspaper Komori's mother was reading in chapter 27, Haru from ''Manga/{{Ojojojo}}'' recently got married (presumably to Kawayanagi).
