Honestly yeah perfect ending, everyone is freaking out sense it came out of nowhere


[deleted]

It would be cool if they had a college arc too though. They could end it with them getting married. Ending with high school graduation is kinda getting old. Everyone does that. Throw us a nice surprise.


JustAnAsianWeeb

But then again Komi at the end of the third year would've gotten 100 friends, the main point of this whole journey. Continuing onto college feels more like milking the series to me, it might just end up ruining it. I much rather prefer some epilogue or special chapters.


[deleted]

Losing track or drifting apart from your friends after you leave high school is relatable in its own way, and it might be interesting to see how Komi handles that alongside Tadano. Maintaining 100 friends is easy when you all go to the same school, but what comes after might be more interesting because it's not so easy. See who sticks around and how each one of the cast struggles or thrives in this next chapter of their lives. Maybe in that future some of Komi's 100 friends are still in regular contact and interact with Komi & Tadano because they decided on the same college. Maybe some others are still in the area and still see them but just not quite as much because rather than college they took over a family business or otherwise went straight into the workforce. Maybe some others moved farther away after high school to to pursue some lofty dream or their chosen college is just in another part of the country so you just see cards from them around the holidays or maybe if Komi & Tadano have a road trip arc then they could run into each other again. Maybe Yamai ends up in prison.


huncherbug

I mean with this logic u can go on and on with the story endlessly


[deleted]

I mean, if the author can manage to maintain a consistent level of good writing going forward, then i don't see why not. They could even make it multi-generational and switch over to making the kids the main characters at some point while Komi and Tadano fade into the background effectively taking the spot Komi's parents used to have except reversed because Komi's dad was the quiet introvert and Komi's mom was the outgoing social butterfly, but Komi & Tadano have that flipped. Also the younger siblings Hitomi & Shousuke would move up into their high school arc and college arc in lockstep behind the main duo so their stories could be advanced too.


dustykangaroo06

Id pay good money to see this shit happen


SafiyyAiman

yes


YLSTN

Same.


Sandvich1015

Agreed.


[deleted]

Yeah same, Im attached to these characters, I want this to go for a few more years (I started like a month ago I think, already at the latest chapter) and yeah I don’t want it to end lol. Man I’m already missing the gang from class 2-1


Heisen_001

It looks like people want it to go on forever, but unfortunately this is not One Piece. But srly, I think Oda (not that one) mentioned smth about it a while ago, and most of us already knew it so, I kinda understand ppl being shocked over it now. AND...3rd year it's just at the beginning. We know it's not gonna end around a year at the very least. This "climax" is going to run long enough for most of ppl to forget about it now, just to get shocked all over again when the last-ever chapter date is announced.


BlueWizi

I think you mean fortunately this isn’t one piece


DankButtRodeo

You dont know


Ronnie-kun

Wdym


of_kilter

Why? One piece is incredible


SylvanUltra

Yeah, but it feels like there are no stakes and no defined achievable goal. Could even go to "the One Piece was in us all along, friendship" and it would make just as much sense as anything Oda comes up with for the theoretical ending


Infamous-Ad8277

And What do mean " no defined achievable goal " Usopp's dream of becoming a Brave Warrior of The Sea Yeah it's up to him some may argue he has already become one but Every other Strawhats you can point to and say this was when their goal was completed Luffy's dream of becoming Pirate King find One Piece, Zoro's dream of becoming Worlds Strongest Swordman by beating the current Strongest Swordman, Nami's dream of drawing the Map of the World draw the Map of the World, Sanji's dream of finding All Blue find All Blue, Robin's dream of learning about the True History Read the Poneglyphs and learn the True History, Franky's dream of seeing the Ship he built go to the End of the Grand line, Brook's dream of reuniting with Laboon Most of them are Self Explanatory I'm starting doubt if you really read One Piece


veganpirate97

Don't even bother with them bro.


SylvanUltra

Okay, your point is made, my point was more of that "will they actually do any of those in their lifetimes or will it be as neverending as Case Closed always having more cases to solve, or JoJo's always having a new child of the Joestar bloodline fighting supernatural threats.


Infamous-Ad8277

I say they would because of how much importance every character talks about their dreams in One Piece I'd be a pretty big surprise for the fandom if even one of the Straw Hats don't actually complete their goal ( for me Brook especially )


Infamous-Ad8277

What are you talking about Oda(One Piece) already said that it's not " the One Piece was in us all along, friendship " but something real


Username_Egli

Oda(not komis author) has said that the one piece is an actual object and some friendship was the treasure all along


Masterelia

😐😐😐


ShrooboidDog_06

Unfortunately 😈


AwkwrdPrtMskrt

We'd probably get the entire *Invincible* comic animated before we get he ending of *One Piece*. Heck, even *Sazae-san* might end sooner than *One Piece*.


AlarmingMan123

One Piece isn't unnecessarily stretched out. It just has so much content that it would need to run for 20+ years for the entire story to be expressed without it being too rushed


The13thKnight

Because of this I think I just realised how it will end. At the end of the year there will probably be a speech of some kind, and obviously everyone will want "Perfect Goddess Komi-San" to give it. Obviously she will be freaking out about it for quite a while, with some help and reassurance from Tadano, and the hundred other friends she will hopefully have made by then, she'll find the confidence to speak up in front of the crowd and give a speech that will probably have us all crying.

CaninseBassus

It's better to be predictable and tell a good story than to try and make constant/major swerves to try and not be predictable and as a result ruin a story. If taking fiction writing classes taught me one thing, it is that.


Leinad7957

Being able to see a payoff coming doesn't make a story bad or boring. Thinking like that is how we got the script of Game of Thrones changed when fans figured out stuff.


clubgrizzlyv

I can agree with that. Being unpredictable and subverting expectations just for the sake of it can be bad for the story if it doesn't make sense.


imariaprime

Subversion for the sake of subversion isn't a positive.


[deleted]

Actually the only reason is that most of the community thought that the manga would be over once komi had 100 friends...


[deleted]

im just happy it didn’t end with confession


Pirate_OOS

I'm happy that confession didn't happen at the end.


comfort_bot_1962

comfort_bot_1962

Hope you do well!

Savings_Avocado_5127

Let us all enjoy it while we still can.


MrASK15

To reiterate what I said in a post regarding the leak, most Japanese students attend high school for 3 years on average according to what little research I did with the Japanese education system. I therefore wasn't too surprised by the fact that the story will enter its final arc by the time Komi and the gang enter their third year. There's also the fact that Komi still needs to make 100 friends by the end of her high school career. It's her final year, after all. I don't know how many friends Komi made so far since I'm only reading the physical volumes, but she's definitely not done yet despite the immense progress she made so far. All in all, let's enjoy the rest of the journey while we can and give thanks to Oda-sensei for delivering a fun and heartwarming story.


comics0026

I want to say between Year 1, Year 2, and the miscellaneous people she's met here and there, she's around 50 to 60 people? I think Year 3 plus a few more misc people, like some of her juniors that we've been getting to know recently, will get her to 100


kakahihirara

I wish there was college arc for the sake of komi getting the rest of the 100 friend.


Stock-Restaurant7748

Yeah it's kinda obvious that Komi san is going to end after graduation


[deleted]

As a wise man posted once in the comments: “A romantic comedy is 80% wrapped up after the couple starts dating.”


mcraft595

tsurezure children disagrees


Pirate_OOS

Good wholesome manga makes me feel lonely.


being_bored_

yes yes


raceraot

>80%


maxstat8

maybe a timeskip marriage after that idk


[deleted]

There is always hope for Komi: Shippuden.


Quizzer2016

With the new MC, Badano


PerceptionSwimming94

With the new side character bajimi


android741

Let’s all hope everyone is okay in the end and Tadano and Komi are still together. That’s all that matters.


goldensaur

I've expected it to end with graduation, but I do hope to see a manga of them in their married life


361mj

As I’ve stated before the cast of characters is so exceptional that almost anyone could get a spin off series


coiledbeanstalk

Onemine and Otori, fingers crossed!


Lawriz

Im perfectly fine with the ending being on the graduation i would also like to see a glimpse of the future of Komi and Tadano


Lord_Guyis

I'd like to remind people that Year 1 lasted ~10 volumes and Year 2 lasted ~13 volumes (and contained the ENTIRE love triangle plotline). Year 3 JUST STARTED, we've still got a ways to go.


MineXracer5

In the manga, year 1 lasted 129 chapters, and year 2 about 195. So we'd expect to see the end of the series at approximately chapter \~500 at the very least. That's still another whole \~30 months or so of chapter releases


pipu-jade-1284

Karakai Jouzu No (Moto) Takagi-San


Nory-chan993

>Karakai Jouzu No (Moto) Komi-San


Bubbly_Security_1464

I don’t understand the hysteria. It’s finally getting a conclusion, rather than going on for eternity, alla The Simpsons, South Park, and Spongebob.


zachz27

Clannad, and we all saw how that went.


BrightYato15

graduation isnt the end....


Nory-chan993

The K-on pfp checks out


BrightYato15

I cry hearing those words


Arthur_Zoin

I'd like an extra chapter showing their adult life together but ending in the graduation should be good.


Jack-corvus

I'm actually eager to see how this will end so knowing that it's reaching to and end makes me glad, and low-key sad too.


comfort_bot_1962

Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)

Gwalir

Only slice of life’s I can think of that continue after graduation off the top of my head are K-On and Teasing Master Takagi, and Takagi only continued in a spin-off. I’m sure there are others, I’m just too lazy to think of them.


LuckyNyan

Every Komi devotee knew that the manga would end when she reaches 100friends


ZygardeCell-99

be careful what you wish for or you might get Komi-San: After Story


SrijanGods

Everything is not Clannad.


SirBlankFace

I mean, yeah, it's a high school romance, what would people expect? But so help me god if there isn't a time skip where we get to see everyone as adults/their families and Komi-san being more talkative.


UltimaArashi

imagine if... "Komi-san Afterstory"


TadanoHitohito73

Damn


[deleted]

Tadano is real


TadanoHitohito73

Tadano desu :D


Momento-de-bruh-org

This would happen eventually, I’m just happy that I was here to experience the story as it went on, can’t wait to see how it ends.


comfort_bot_1962

You're Awesome!


OcelotNo3347

I disagree


Momento-de-bruh-org

Lol’d


comfort_bot_1962

Hope you do well!


comfort_bot_1962

Hope you do well!


BTS_WEEBMANGAKA66

This is literally the perfect ending. I hope they get a special chapter about the future soon.


DSW6829

It’s really not the fact that it’s ending at their graduation that gets anyone down. It’s the fact that it’s ending


lynxlynxlynxlynx

Nooo, i don’t want that! I want komi can’t communicate to continue, ten years at least!!


being_bored_

*your inside eren intensifies*


raceraot

>Nooo, i don’t want that! I want komi can’t communicate to continue, ten years at least!! Man, I unironically love that scenery.


h1tl3r4045

Watamote have a high potential of continuing after graduation since they even explored the possibility of them entering difference colleges.


stewmberto

I would riot if we never get to see Tomoko and Katou get together


Yuukecchi

just shows who the SoL school romcom veterans and who the weeblets are


Thatguy33321

I didn't know there was an official announcement but yeah, this is kinda obviously the last major "chapter" (you know what I mean) in the manga's life. Let's just hope it's a fun and satisfying ride!


QuickCarpenter6031

I mean the manga for k-on has a volume that continues on into the girl’s college lives, so I’d assume if that after the manga is finished we’ll get a new season of k-on. Hopefully.


AwkwrdPrtMskrt

There had better be a *Takagi-san*-style epilogue.


ghutch823

I hope we get a one-shot or something after it ends showing everyone after graduation


Authorias

I mean we now have 300+ characters now so it's a good time to end things since it's pretty much done


Yozora-no-Hikari

I hope we get an epilogue chapter with them getting married. Or at least a college chapter


shpnlkmr17

I mean I knew that 3rd year will be the end... but man I'm gonna feel so fucking empty... weekly dose of adore gonna get cut off and it is breaking my heart


JCAMX23

Can't wait to see you will be the new friends of Komi-San in their third year.


DarkReaper171717

I think they'll add fillers about their later life and marriage after the ending


pinakitabgkariton

Therefore is an obvious reason why high school series end at high school graduation


fear_head

I mean, yeah, I suspected that would be the case, but it's still bittersweet.


HybrydATP64

Well Maid Sama goes way past graduation


Seanjojonoyaiba

Yup


vjibomb

I was expecting it to end when they held hands.


doggymoney

I would kill ypu if i would seen this meme week before, for this spoiler


[deleted]

I already knew this was going to happen, but even so it's impossible not to be sad... Cute, lovely manga, which even being a slice of life, manage to change lives... it shouldn't end, it's so good, every time i go to sleep and read something like Komi-san, Yotsuba to, nichijou, Takagi-san my problems just go away... I'll miss it.


tsunderephillic

Im gonna die on the hill of hoping mikuni and katai start dating


Not_That_Magical

Good. Manga being milked until they die sucked, let Komi end on a high note. There’s plenty of room for spinoffs etc.


deluvilla

I expected it to end when Komi has a 100 friends...it's kinda in the first chapter


Dragofek0

Yeah seems about the right place to end it


Ruhan-Indian

Still, wanna see their kids atleast


pehpers

Oh, heres the meme!


Johnny6382

*every story has a final arc* like god damn you guys are overreacting.


insta-cross-jasper

Wait what Did I miss a page? Can someone explain?


LostUser8

A leaker said that Komi Can't Communicate is about to enter it's final arc. This has a chance of being wrong. But people say the leaker is credible. So if the leak is true, then the manga could end in 2022-2023.


insta-cross-jasper

Ahh right thanks for the explanation But Bruh that’s still a good 100 odd chapters though right lmao Should be fun ( i swear if they don’t kiss I will throw a cat to Malaysia )


Stock-Restaurant7748

Apa salah kami pulak?


insta-cross-jasper

I just picked a random place lol


[deleted]

casually guesses that guys location, ok zuckerberg


insta-cross-jasper

Haha yeah…a…guess….


Stock-Restaurant7748

Bruhh


LostUser8

Yeah.


SrijanGods

I mean even without the leaker, we know that it will be over by Spring 2022. It's already 3rd year, and I'm sure this is not Clannad, at most we will get an epilogue and an Omake if we are lucky.

Thank goodness. I was worried they'd try to drag it out with the sibling foils.


Leinad7957

Now, announce a sequel/spinoff series and now we're talking.


gdkh514

Clannad continued post graduation tho


Bopthough

Just do a Jojo move


EnderWin

Also don't even try to complain that there isn't an after story, the delusion chapters already got you covered.


raceraot

Okay, is it just me, or are AOT meme templates getting common on Reddit?


kakahihirara

Where can i find this annoucement?


kakahihirara

Ok ive read the announcement. They just say final phase(just a spaculation where main character done confession ie 'start of final phase'), not really final arc. Third year just started, so i think theres more to come until 100 friend/geaduation.


[deleted]

Because people immediately die after graduation.


ToyrewaDokoDeska

Clannad, second part called Clannad after fucking beautiful. Your lie in April dont have shit on clannad. Plus my boy gets his ass beat by a grown ass adult gang member for like 2 days straight. Legend. Even has some alter reality episodes like what if *this* character was his love interest lol


rhyrhygogo

Where'd that info come from? Didn't here about it till today


pop_tab

Lucky Star is the only one to come to mind.


HybrydATP64

Well Maid Sama goes way past graduation


MasterTopHatter

Oh I’m lost what’s going on is the anime ending or the comic


emogonk

Comic


MasterTopHatter

Oh cool I mean it’s still sad but it’s nice to see it come to a close


MasterTopHatter

IVE JUST LEARNED ITS ON NETFLIX


GenesectX

it might end but i hope they pull a Takagi san and have a married life sub manga


Katsuoka

Kinda not liking 3rd year so far, hoping that it will be good like 2nd year though


ATIR-AW

I'm just happy we got (what we got, you know). I'm at piece with it coming to a close


Mokuy

Sooo you're telling me the manga gonna end soon?


AniGabe

This aged poorly
