The platform Netflix posted an update on his official Twitter account confirming that the second season of the anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Tomohito Oda, Komi-san wa, Komyushou Desu (Komi Can’t Communicate), will premiere on April 27 within its global catalog exclusively, broadcasting a new episode weekly.
This is three weeks following it originally aired in Japan, surpassing the two-week delay for the first season episodes. This has been widely criticized by fans, who point out that episodes are leaked on unofficial sites on the same day they air in Japan, so “loses its sense” trying to avoid spoilers on social media for so long.
The series has its premiere scheduled for April 6 on television and on the platform Netflix only in Japan. The first season premiered during the Fall-2021 season (October-December) and had twelve episodes, while a second season will premiere next April. The platform Netflix was premiering the episodes two weeks following they aired in Japan, with the title Komi-san Can’t Communicate. On the other hand, Tomohito Oda publication of the manga began in May 2016 through the magazine Weekly Shonen Sunday from the publisher Shogakukan.

Sinopsis de Komi-san wa, Komyushou desu
It’s Shouko Komi’s first day at the prestigious Itan Private High School, and she’s already become the Madonna of the school. With her long black hair and her tall and elegant appearance, she catches the attention of anyone who crosses her path. However, there is a problem: despite her popularity, Shouko is terrible at communicating with others. Hitohito Tadano is your typical high school boy. With his life motto of “reading the situation and making sure to stay out of trouble”, he quickly discovers that sitting next to Shouko has made him the enemy of everyone in his class.
One day, passed out by accident, Hitohito wakes up to the sound of Shouko’s “meow”. He lies saying that he hasn’t heard anything, which makes Shouko run away. But before she can escape, Hitohito guesses that Shouko isn’t able to talk to others easily; in fact, he has never been able to make a single friend. Hitohito decides to help Shouko in her goal of making a hundred friends so that she can overcome her communication disorder.
