Okay, people, let's talk about the elephant in the room, or rather, the painfully shy goddess in the classroom. Does Komi Shouko have a crush on Tadano Hitohito? I mean, come on!
It's like watching a slow-motion train wreck of adorable awkwardness. But the kind where everyone survives and ends up holding hands. We're talking serious signals here.
Exhibit A: The Stares
Have you *seen* the way Komi looks at Tadano? It's not just politeness. It's like she's trying to memorize every single freckle and strand of hair.
It’s the kind of gaze that could melt glaciers, except Komi is too shy to actually express it verbally. It's a superpower in its own right.
Relatable Moment:
Think back to when you were a kid and had a crush on someone. Remember staring at them during class, hoping they wouldn't notice? That's Komi, but amplified by a thousand, with the added pressure of being the most popular girl in school.
Exhibit B: The Slightest of Touches
A hand brush here, a shared umbrella there. These might seem like minor things, but for Komi, they're equivalent to climbing Mount Everest barefoot. These moments hold weight.
Each accidental touch sends her internal systems into overdrive. Meanwhile, Tadano is just oblivious, bless his heart. He’s the oblivious hero we all root for.
Relatable Moment:
Remember that time you accidentally bumped into your crush and your brain short-circuited? That's Komi every single time she's within a five-foot radius of Tadano. Maximum chaos.
Exhibit C: The Effort
Komi, the girl who struggles to even say "hello," is actively trying to communicate with Tadano. She's pushing herself outside of her comfort zone, one awkward interaction at a time. Is that not screaming "I LIKE YOU"?
She's learning to open up, and who is she opening up to? Tadano! It's practically written in the stars, or at least, scrawled in faint pencil in her notebook.
Relatable Moment:
Remember learning a new skill just to impress someone? Komi is learning the language of communication, just to connect with Tadano. That's dedication, people. We appreciate her.
The Verdict
So, does Komi have a crush on Tadano? I’m no relationship expert, but let's be real. All signs point to a resounding YES! It's so obvious it's practically radiating off the screen.
The tension is thicker than Komi's hair. It's only a matter of time before these two confess their feelings. I am eagerly waiting for this moment.
Let's all root for Komi and Tadano. Their journey to communication and hopefully, romance, is a beautiful one to watch.
The slow burn is agonizing, but oh-so-worth-it. Their slow burn is our satisfaction.
