Shoko Komi is a high school student grappling with severe social anxiety and a communication disorder that leaves her almost entirely nonverbal in direct interactions. Debilitating anxiety triggers physical paralysis, trembling, or reliance on a notebook for written exchanges. Yet she fiercely yearns to overcome isolation, setting an ambitious goal of forming 100 friendships. Her striking appearance features waist-length dark purple hair, a tall, slender frame (168–169 cm, 48 kg), and pale skin, often leading peers to misinterpret her silence as regal aloofness. This "goddess" persona starkly contrasts her internal fears of alienating others through accidental social missteps. A lifelong communication struggle began in childhood. At Itan Private High School, she remained friendless until encountering Hitohito Tadano, who discerned her anxiety and became her first ally. Their partnership navigates social hurdles, with Tadano encouraging her gradual progress—uttering brief phrases during emotional moments or phone calls, though written notes remain her primary tool. Kindness, loyalty, and empathy define her core. She selflessly aids classmates with academic or personal crises, driven by steadfast optimism toward her friendship goal. Quiet bravery surfaces when defending loved ones, confronting fears head-on. Meticulous preparation for social encounters, academic excellence, and athletic prowess—evidenced by a 6.89-second 50-meter sprint—underscore her disciplined patience. Relationships evolve through nuanced dynamics: a tender, mutually supportive romance with Tadano; challenging bonds with peers like Najimi Osana and Ren Yamai, whom she forgives after hostile behavior; and familial interactions with her observant younger brother Shosuke, who witnesses her playful solo habits at home. Notable details include her affinity for black cats, occasional feline mannerisms, strict adherence to rituals like ramen shop etiquette, and a December 25 birthday. Her name’s kanji—"old" and "see" (surname) and "glass" (given name)—subtly mirrors her fragile yet perceptive nature. By narrative’s end, she achieves 100 friendships and attends college with Tadano, symbolizing her transformative journey from isolation to connection. While her social capacity expands, foundational traits—kindness, perseverance—remain unaltered, anchoring her growth in authenticity.
