Komi Can't Communicate

Komi Can't Communicate

The journey to 100 friends begins with a single conversation. Socially anxious high school student Shoko Komi’s greatest dream is to make some friends, but everyone at school mistakes her crippling social anxiety for cool reserve! With the whole student body keeping their distance and Komi unable to utter a single word, friendship might be forever beyond her reach. Timid Tadano is a total wallflower, and that’s just the way he likes it. He lives to blend in with the background. 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!

Both shows have high school girls that have communication issues that they want to overcome. They both have goals to make an absurd number of friends.

vivaria vivaria says...

Both feature socially anxious characters wishing to make friends. And, both feature an accommodating supporting cast who help the main character form relationships despite their difficulties. Very healing shows for socially anxious people.

AustinDR AustinDR says...

Both of them revolve around protagonists suffering from social anxiety but their goals are to acquire friends albeit, the goals are set differently (one wants to befriend her entire class whereas the latter wants to make 100 friends at best). 

Both are also very wholesome series with characters having bountiful personalities.

Htieks Htieks says...

Both are adorable, wholesome slice-of-life series about a very socially anxious girl trying to make new friends.

There's really not much else to say, they have pretty much the same brand of humour down to the punny names for the characters; pretty much the only difference is that Komi-san has just a tiny bit of romance mixed with the comedy bits, if you particularly care about that.

Anyway, both are very nice feel-good titles, so give them a try!

Senryu Girl

Senryu Girl

At first glance Yukishiro Nanako seems like a normal high school girl, but she has a notable eccentricity: instead of speaking, she communicates only through written senryu poetry! This means she expresses herself only in 5-7-5 syllables. To most this might seem like an inconvenience, but for Nanako and her ex-delinquent bestie, Busujima Eiji, it adds to the experience of their high school lives as they run the Literature Club.

Do you like shows about an adorably awkward girl and her dour looking blonde pal? Boy then will you enjoy one if you liked the other.

YuiYui YuiYui says...

Two very adorable shows that follow an array of colourful characters to overcome personal obsticles. These shows follow a quiet girl and her wide range of friends, including a blonde haired delinquent looking friend, and how they progress pass the challenges they face. Both are very easygoing shows that were fun to watch and pass the time away with. So if you enjoyed one you should enjoy the other.

Tanaka-kun is Always Listless

Tanaka-kun is Always Listless

Adapted from the popular web manga series published by Square Enix, this unconventional, surrealist comedy follows an exhausted high school boy who, despite multiple attempts from his friends, still manages to spectacularly… sleep. Much to the chagrin of the energetic (at times bossy) Ohta, Tanaka is often found in a blissful state of lethargy, possessing the ability to doze off in any situation, especially in mid-sentence!

its cute, energetic and a wholesome show for people to enjoy after a rough day in real life.

Bocchi the Rock!

Bocchi the Rock!

Hitori Gotoh, “Bocchi-chan,” is a girl who’s so introverted and shy around people that she’d always start her conversations with “Ah...” During her middle school years, she started playing the guitar, wanting to join a band because she thought it could be an opportunity for even someone shy like her to also shine. But because she had no friends, she ended up practicing guitar for six hours every day all by herself. After becoming a skilled guitar player, she uploaded videos of herself playing the guitar to the internet under the name “Guitar Hero” and fantasized about performing at her school’s cultural festival concert. But not only could she not find any bandmates, before she knew it, she was in high school and still wasn’t able to make a single friend! She was really close to becoming a shut-in, but one day, Nijika Ijichi, the drummer in Kessoku Band, reached out to her. And because of that, her everyday life started to change little by little...

Both animes have a main chara who have social anxiety and behave in a very similar way becaue of it. And other characters call them both HitoriBocchi too. I think people will enjoy both as they have similar feel.

Fatalism Fatalism says...

My social anxiety can't be this cute! Both anime is about cute girl having very similar social anxiety, and also both MC have same name which literally means alone'.

Both the Main Protagonist are anti-social. It also contains a similar story line like the Protagonist trying to make friends. Watamote is more extreme but Hitoribocchi is more of a light hearted anime but both are similar.

Momokuri

Momokuri

Yuki Kurihara has finally been granted her wish of dating her crush Momo. At first glance, she just looks like a normal but very cute girl. However, she is in fact a maniac over Momo, taking notes of his activities and never missing the chance to see him in a cute moment. Momo, on the other hand, is inexperienced in love, and just wants to make Yuki happy.

Quirky but heartwarming middleschoolers being absurdly cute and wholesome to each other. There's no romance in Hitoribocchi (at least so far) but they have the same energy.

Azumanga Daioh

Azumanga Daioh

Ten-year-old genius Chiyo, animal-loving Sakaki, loudmouth Tomo, athletic Kagura, weight-conscious Yomi and dim-witted Osaka are six friends who share laughs, good times, and a high school homeroom. With scary (and sometimes perverted) teachers, school festivals, penguin suits and general hilarity abounding, you can be sure that there's never a dull day in the life of one of these students!

Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater

Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater

Hina Tsurugi is a first-year student who moves to a town by the sea. While Tsurugi is more of an “indoor kid” who enjoys things like arts and crafts, she is suddenly thrown into the world of fishing when an older student, Yuuki Kuroiwa, invites her to be a part of the school’s fishing club.

Nekus Nekus says...

Both shows are comedy focused CGDCT (Cute Girls Doing Cute Things) that are light hearted and fun with a timid protagonist that makes new friends and we see their new dinamics and hijinks.

Breakwater is more adult and focused on an a fishing club, while Hitoribocchi is purely about making new friends and is more kid friendly.

Both shows have a soft pastel color palette and have decent low-key soundtrack.

Non Non Biyori

Non Non Biyori

Although her new school only has five students, there's something about the laidback lifestyle that makes her feel right at home. It's a big change from the big city, but there are still plenty of new adventures to look forward to with her quirky new friends as Hotaru learns that “home” really is where the heart is.

LordSeyama LordSeyama says...

Both of these series follow a group of girls in their every day life, focusing mainly on themes of friendship and school life; while also dealing with themes of change and adapting to new environments; with Non Non Biyori having a rather more subtle approach to this than Bocchi.

Also, these series have some of the most adorable and relatable characters I've seen, the group dynamic and their occurrences are similar in both shows which make them both a very enjoyable and relaxing experience.

If you liked Bocchi, you'll probably like the characters in Non Non Biyori.
