Kodoani.com – WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Episode 8 of Komi Can’t Communicate.
Shoko Komi and her classmates are all off school for the summer break. For Komi, this includes visiting her extended family, participating in summer festivals, and spending all of her free time with the close friends she made during her first months in the country. Itan Private High School. Time spent with friends made her realize how much she values their company, to the point of not wanting the summer vacation to end.
During a visit to her father’s large family, Komi takes her grandmother to begin with her life as a high school student. When asked by her grandmother if she makes any friends at her new school, Komi quietly says she does. When asked if there were any boys at her school that she liked, Komi began to shake uncontrollably. Her grandmother then saw the name of a boy named Hitohito Tadano on her cell phone and immediately asked who he was, followed by “I don’t allow it.”
Unbeknownst to Komi’s grandmother, Komi happened to be wearing the dress that Tadano had chosen for her at the mall in episode 6. Elsewhere, at Tadano’s household, Tadano sneezed while watching TV with his sister, this according to Japanese culture means someone is saying his poor. This implies that Komi’s grandmother is continuing to slander Tadano off-screen, perhaps exacerbating Komi’s anxiety. The scene with this grandmother foreshadows Komi’s later meeting with Tadano at a summer festival.
For the summer festival, Najimi Osana invites both Komi and Tadano to attend. They also specifically asked Tadano to wear a yukata, predictably that Komi would also wear a yukata. This strongly implies that Najimi is aware of Komi and Tadano’s growing attraction to each other, which seems to be confirmed by the fact that Najimi tends to leave them alone a lot.
At the festival, Komi, Tadano, and Najimi meet Ren Yamai and encounter other classmates from the same school. Together, they played target shooting, entered katanuki (candy cutting game), kingyo-sukui (goldfish shovel) and string raffle, after which Komi won the grand prize without thinking about it. that. During these games, Komi has difficulty communicating her thoughts due to forgetting her memo pad. In the end, however, she stammered out how handsome Tadano looked in his yukata, which made Tadano feel proud.
Some time after the rope lottery, Komi loses track of her group of friends and begins to panic. When Tadano gets back with her, together they wait for Najimi to rejoin so they can continue having fun together. At this time, Komi took a stick and wrote on the ground, “Tadano-kun to futari dake no toki mo tanoshi katta desu.” In English, this sentence means “When I’m with you, I’ll also enjoy my alone time.” Unfortunately, Komi deleted the message before Tadano had a chance to see it, but it confirms that she has feelings for the guy. the end of their summer vacation.
