Shouko Komi

Communication disorder: Shoko really wants to communicate with people, but due to intense fear and panic, she literally can't string together even a couple of words in the presence of others. Communication through a notebook: Because of her issue, she prefers to express her thoughts in writing — in a notebook that she always carries with her. Quiet and kind: She is very sensitive, polite, and worries that people misunderstand her silence, which others mistakenly take for arrogance. Determination: She has set herself a big goal — to overcome her fear and make 100 friends (the first of whom was Hitohito Tadano).
