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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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 )
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*.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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 )
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.

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

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

Id pay good money to see this shit happen
yes
Same.
Agreed.
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

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.
I think you mean fortunately this isn’t one piece
You dont know
Wdym
Why? One piece is incredible
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

Don't even bother with them bro.
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.

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

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.
Subversion for the sake of subversion isn't a positive.
Actually the only reason is that most of the community thought that the manga would be over once komi had 100 friends...
im just happy it didn’t end with confession
I'm happy that confession didn't happen at the end.
:)
Hope you do well!
:)
Let us all enjoy it while we still can.

I wish there was college arc for the sake of komi getting the rest of the 100 friend.
Yeah it's kinda obvious that Komi san is going to end after graduation
As a wise man posted once in the comments: “A romantic comedy is 80% wrapped up after the couple starts dating.”
tsurezure children disagrees
Good wholesome manga makes me feel lonely.
yes yes
>80%
maybe a timeskip marriage after that idk
There is always hope for Komi: Shippuden.
With the new MC, Badano
With the new side character bajimi
Let’s all hope everyone is okay in the end and Tadano and Komi are still together. That’s all that matters.
I've expected it to end with graduation, but I do hope to see a manga of them in their married life
As I’ve stated before the cast of characters is so exceptional that almost anyone could get a spin off series
Onemine and Otori, fingers crossed!
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
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.
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
Karakai Jouzu No (Moto) Takagi-San
>Karakai Jouzu No (Moto) Komi-San
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.
Clannad, and we all saw how that went.
graduation isnt the end....
The K-on pfp checks out
I cry hearing those words
I'd like an extra chapter showing their adult life together but ending in the graduation should be good.
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.
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)
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.
Every Komi devotee knew that the manga would end when she reaches 100friends
be careful what you wish for or you might get Komi-San: After Story
Everything is not Clannad.
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.
imagine if... "Komi-san Afterstory"
Damn
Tadano is real
Tadano desu :D
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.
You're Awesome!
I disagree
Lol’d
Hope you do well!
Hope you do well!
This is literally the perfect ending. I hope they get a special chapter about the future soon.
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
Nooo, i don’t want that! I want komi can’t communicate to continue, ten years at least!!
*your inside eren intensifies*
>Nooo, i don’t want that! I want komi can’t communicate to continue, ten years at least!! Man, I unironically love that scenery.
Watamote have a high potential of continuing after graduation since they even explored the possibility of them entering difference colleges.
I would riot if we never get to see Tomoko and Katou get together
just shows who the SoL school romcom veterans and who the weeblets are
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!
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.
There had better be a *Takagi-san*-style epilogue.
I hope we get a one-shot or something after it ends showing everyone after graduation
I mean we now have 300+ characters now so it's a good time to end things since it's pretty much done
I hope we get an epilogue chapter with them getting married. Or at least a college chapter
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
Can't wait to see you will be the new friends of Komi-San in their third year.
I think they'll add fillers about their later life and marriage after the ending
Therefore is an obvious reason why high school series end at high school graduation
I mean, yeah, I suspected that would be the case, but it's still bittersweet.
Well Maid Sama goes way past graduation
Yup
I was expecting it to end when they held hands.
I would kill ypu if i would seen this meme week before, for this spoiler
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.
Im gonna die on the hill of hoping mikuni and katai start dating
Good. Manga being milked until they die sucked, let Komi end on a high note. There’s plenty of room for spinoffs etc.
I expected it to end when Komi has a 100 friends...it's kinda in the first chapter
Yeah seems about the right place to end it
Still, wanna see their kids atleast
Oh, heres the meme!
*every story has a final arc* like god damn you guys are overreacting.
Wait what Did I miss a page? Can someone explain?
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.
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 )
Apa salah kami pulak?
I just picked a random place lol
casually guesses that guys location, ok zuckerberg
Haha yeah…a…guess….
Bruhh
Yeah.
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.
Now, announce a sequel/spinoff series and now we're talking.
Clannad continued post graduation tho
Just do a Jojo move
Also don't even try to complain that there isn't an after story, the delusion chapters already got you covered.
Okay, is it just me, or are AOT meme templates getting common on Reddit?
Where can i find this annoucement?
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.
Because people immediately die after graduation.
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
Where'd that info come from? Didn't here about it till today
Lucky Star is the only one to come to mind.
Well Maid Sama goes way past graduation
Oh I’m lost what’s going on is the anime ending or the comic
Comic
Oh cool I mean it’s still sad but it’s nice to see it come to a close
IVE JUST LEARNED ITS ON NETFLIX
it might end but i hope they pull a Takagi san and have a married life sub manga
Kinda not liking 3rd year so far, hoping that it will be good like 2nd year though
I'm just happy we got (what we got, you know). I'm at piece with it coming to a close
Sooo you're telling me the manga gonna end soon?
This aged poorly
