The journey to 100 friends begins with a single conversation. Socially anxious high school student Shoko Komi's greatest dream is to make some friends, but everyone at school mistakes her crippling social anxiety for cool reserve. Luckily she meets Tadano, a timid wallflower who decides to step out of his comfort zone in order to help her achieve her goal of making 100 friends. Valentine's Day is a total minefield for people with communication disorders, but this year Komi has a secret weapon to combat the stressful holiday-friends! Armed with homemade chocolates, Komi is ready to give Tadano a Valentine's gift. At some point! Before the day is over! She swears!
